Hang Fast Targets has this KYL target in prototype. Designed for 22 RF. Fully armored w/ 1/4" AR500, base adjustable for hillsides and uneven ground to keep center post plumb. Swinger plate sizes 4", 3", 2.5", 2" and 1" AR500 1/4" Plates mount w/o tools. Use any plate size combination...

Hang Fast Targets hanger system allows for multiple targets to be hung on a Standard T Post. I use the KYL system on my range using the setup in the pic. In addition I have a 2 plate swinger with a 6" and a 4" swinging target when things get dialed in. We also have a 4 plate rifle rated fully...

There is a fairly significant difference between Grade 5 and 8 Grade 5 Medium carbon steel, quenched and tempered. 120,000 psi tensile strength Grade 8 Medium carbon alloy steel, quenched and tempered 150,000 psi tensile strength With lower tensile strength the heads are more prone to pop...

Targets that use 2 bolts for mounting have twice the chance for failure than a single bolt mounting does.

I've never heard of a Grade 6 bolt...? Grade 8 will chip when hit but it won't break like the non grade in the pic did.

Most of the time when bolts fail it is not due to getting shot through by the bullet. Torque stresses on non grade bolts can snap them at the head causing the target to fall. It looks like a shoot through but if you look around you will usually find a pristine bolt head laying on the ground...

The holes in my plates are square so I use 1/2" Grade 8 CARRIAGE bolts. I've been using this setup for over 5 years never popped a bolt head until I used a non grade bolt. I know I didn't hit the bolt with the bullet because I had 2 video cameras on it at the time and the video showed the hit...

Hook type hangers are junk after you break off the hook. We use bolts that will set you back less than 2 bucks. Hang Fast hangers start at under 10 bucks for small plates For large plates they start @ 17.95

I changed the source for the pics so try refreshing the page and let me know if that works.

T Posts cost less than 5 bucks each and I can hang multiple targets on each T Post. T Posts can be used ANYWHERE except solid rock. Hillsides are no problem. Here is another system for those that must use chains that works on all terrain.

We did some testing on GRADE 8 bolts and found that most of the failures of NON GRADE bolts involve the heads popping off from torque forces on the target plate from bullet impacts. It usually looks like they were shot off but most of the time the heads just pop off. High Tensile strength...

We just did some testing with bolts and found that standard (NON grade) bolts are prone to breaking off the head because of the tensile stress effect of the bullet impacting the steel target plate. High Tensile GRADE 8 bolts resist these forces and will not shear the bolt head. Of course a...

We've been using T Posts for several years now and have pulled them many times in our mountain rocky shale soil. The trick is to NOT pound them to China to start with if you plan on removing them. Pound them to half way up the bottom fin and they will hold the target and still pull out when...

Hang Fast has the best sound and reaction.

T Posts offer a cheap, stable and portable platform Hang Fast Targets has an innovative hanger that works very well with T Posts Multiple targets can be hung from the same post Extremely reactive and loud because of the single mounting point. Hardware is protected by the plate
