Hardware for
Handgun Targets 
 

 Our handgun hardware adapts a target for use with one of our support structures.

The pendulum adapter has a single hole and is furnished with a modified plow bolt, lock washer and nut. We also provide a hard thick washer to be placed between the target and pendulum bracket. The spacer washer helps to maintain the ring by minimizing the contact between the plate and bracket. (Click on the picture to enlarge it)
The stem clamp permits attaching the target to a stem (1 1/2  by 1 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch) angle iron ). A common 3/4 inch wrench, socket, or ratcheting wrench is required to tighten/loosen the nut. We have used this system for over ten years. To date we haven't had any repairs. There is a distinct difference in the sound when the plate, not the stem, has been hit. The very center of the plate gives a dull noise when impacted by a projectile, but again, with a few rounds the shooter knows that the plate has been hit. The neat thing is that the plate and stem can be moved as one unit.

The very center of the target isn't as alive to impacts as is the remainder of the target, but usually, there is still movement. It's other main advantage is it's ease of mounting - just set it over the stem - it's done!. Removal of the plate and adapter is recommended before pulling the stem from it's holder or moving the entire target and base (doing so will save wear and tear on your feet). The mounting assembly attaches to the plate with a 1/2" modified plow share bolt, lock washer and nut. A thick, hard washer provides  minimal contact between the plate and mounting bracket to maximize ringing.

Mounting the plates to the plate rack only requires two bolts, and associated lock washers and nuts. Each kit will mount one target to one of six plate rack hinges positions.
