Steel hanging targets for hunters are an excellent way to practice your range. They are stable, durable, and noisy. To deflect bullet fragments down, most gong targets are mounted at an angle. They can be strung from rubber straps or chains. There are many styles of gong targets. Some are mounted on crossboards using brackets made from 2x4 saw horses.
AA Targets
Steel Hanging AA targets can be made in either circles or diamonds. There are many sizes and shapes available for these targets. You should consider the size of the backstop behind the target to determine its height. A high backstop could encourage your shots over the berm. You should increase the backstop's height to ensure safe shooting. For the bullet to reach the safe zone, it is important that the shot angle be downward. Make sure you buy a target that is both up- and down-oriented. This will make the bullet sound the loudest while also keeping the punishment low.
Hanging a steel hanging target from a sturdy horizontal or vertical post is one of the best ways. To attach the bracket to a mounting bracket, you can use either a rubber strap (or a chain). This prevents the bullet swaying and is a good option. The target will also swing and emit a loud noise as the bullet hits it. Mounting brackets as well as bolts are cheap and provide a secure place to hang targets.
Grizzly Targets
AR 500 gongs are made by Grizzly. They measure 18 inches. The AR 500 is constructed from the same high quality steel used to make rifle targets. It has a lower minimum hardness guarantee than AR500 plates, and a maximum hardness of 500 HBW. Grizzly Target's SR500 steel is also made on the same production lines as SSAB’s high-quality AR Steels.
Galvanized metal is a strong range of steel. Galvanized Steel is corrosion-free and can replace wooden 2x4 supports. Galvanized posts attach to existing bases and stands. It also fits well with hanger/top presentations. This is a great target for high-quality, high volume training. If you're looking for a tough target, you can't go wrong with the Grizzly Center Hang Target.
Grizzly targets were designed to be easy to shoot. They should be properly mounted. The mounting bracket is the first step in hanging the target. It can either be made of metal or wood. The legs of the bracket should be attached to the target using a rubber strap or chain. The mounting bracket and target can then hang directly below the shooting surface. Steel hanging targets have a special design that allows bullet splatter to fall safely.
