The chain adapter and S hooks can be used with our A-frame or you can
mount it on your own suspension system. The kit contains of a bracket with
holes at each end for attaching S hooks and holes to bolt a top a
mount plate to the bracket. Attaching hardware consists of:
2 - 1/2 inch carriage bolts (Grade 5)
2 - lock washers
2 - nuts
4 - S hooks. Chain can be furnished, but we prefer that you acquire it from
your local hardware store to save on shipping and purchase the length
you require..
We wish provide a warning about the desire of an errant round to cut the
chain rather than impact the target.
22 caliber rounds ( .223/5.56 mm) work well with the chain and S
hook setup. Heavier projectiles (308/30-06) can (and do) wrap the target
around our A-Frame cross bar.

Rifle targets with holes at the top can be used with our A-frame and
pendulum combination. The pendulum adapter has two holes and is
furnished with:
2 - 1/2 inch carriage bolts
2 - lock washers
2 - nuts
We use a grade 5 hardness bolt, but any regular 1/2 inch carriage bolt
can be used. The bolts are an item that are found at most hardware
stores. 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.
