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

 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.
