The plate bracket is not a tight fit on the ground stake so the top of the plate can push back 15-20mm under recoil, but the 20 deg angle causes the plate to fall forward again due to weight and center of gravity.

Cant see the point in shooting a gong at 100 myself. The whole point for me is out past 400 I see it swing and hear a 'gong' sound.
