Common Target Hardware

This hardware will adapt either rifle or handgun targets to one of our support structures.

Our stems are created from 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 1/4" angle iron. Handgun rounds will not damage them when shot head on. They will dent when struck at right angles (on the flats) by rounds with lots of energy. Rifle rounds will turn the stems into  Swiss cheese! Our stems are named by the height that they place the center of a handgun target from the ground when using our Universal Base and plate socket adapters (Center Hole targets). We cut the stems 2 1/8" shorter than their named length. We will cut stems to a specified length when requested.
The following stems, when used with our bases and Center hole targets will meet the plate height  requirements for Steel Challenge:
   (Round Targets - 60", Rectangles  - 66")

 Length   Target   
    56"           8"
    55"         10"
    54"         12"
    54"      18 x 24"

Rifle targets with holes at the top or Handgun Center Hole targets can be used with our A-frame and pendulum combination. The pendulum adapter has three holes and is priced with the Dual Hardware kit included. The middle attachment hole can be used for our modified plow bolt kit and Center Hole handgun targets.
Take a wrench and extra hardware with you when hitting the boondocks - nothing ruins your day like taking out the bolts with an errant round.
Three lengths are available:
    Short
    Medium
    Long
A heavy duty medium length pendulum for small diameter rifle targets used with high power calibers is also available.

We created the 20 degree target adapter for LE training. The short adapter was designed for the 2/3 sized IPSC target and the longer one for the full sized version. The adapter fits on top of a vertical 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 1/4" angle iron. The selected target is slid over its end. Splatter from rounds breaking up cuts a line away from the shooter across the rear legs of our Universal base.

Tie Down Stakes are available to secure bases to the ground. They can be driven into the ground with a hammer. We designed them as an option for our light weight Transportable Target bases (Stick holders).

This Universal base with a Stem Socket and spacer is shown with optional stick holders. The spacer is welded to the rear of the socket where the stem is inserted. No tools are required when the stem is changed to a different length. The optional stick holders, add the capability to use the bases as a very stable paper target holder. Misses on a metal target (mounted in front), will poke holes in cardboard fastened to the 1 x 2" furring strips located behind the plate. The spacing will accept paper targets like the FBI-Q, IPSC, IDPA and NRA D-1.

The Universal Base is used to support a target stem. The removable legs permits sliding up to 3 base plates on to one pair of legs. A three base set up would permit the use of three different stems lengths for a staircase target array. The bases can be nested - the legs will fit under other base plates. The number of different arrays are limited by the quantity of bases available. We create over 78 different arrays with 5 bases. (See the ASP system for more details.)
