Backstory: I had an opportunity to get to the range this AM for a solid 3 1/2 hours. Brought out some .22's to sight in, and brought my AR's (5.56 & 300BLK). One of my buddies went and brought along a 16" steel gong which we set out at 100 yards. It was fairly easy to consistently hit off-hand with both AR's. The 5.56 has optics (1-4x) and the 300 with irons.
Leads me to what I've been pondering...I had never really thought of it, but what does everyone think is a good size gong for 100 yards? Should a 10" gong or even 8" gong be able to be hit consistently off-hand? I'm looking at purchasing some of my own, and wanted to get a feel for what sizes would be best for that distance.
