Our Rifle Targets use AR500 3/8" steel. The material is cut under water on a high definition plasma cutter to prevent soft target edges. All of our target plates are reversible. All rifle targets use two 1/2" square holes for mounting with either 1/2" or  7/16" grade 5 carriage bolts. We've placed the holes as far from the center of the target as practical. Hardware stores usually stock this size/type of bolt. Bolts hit and destroyed are easily replaced.  We can provide other types of mounting holes when requested and if we concur on the requested location and hole size. The individual drawings provide our target dimensions and hole layouts.

 We offer two mounting methods for our Steel Rifle Targets whose holes are at the top of the plate. Plates with holes at the bottom use either the small base for the reduced size Pepper Poppers or a larger base for the full sized ones.

A brief description of our target hardware follows. Return to the 'Home' page then select  "Target Hardware"  for more details. 

 We have a pendulum arm for use with our A-Frame. Targets hung using 'S' hooks and chain seem to draw the rounds to the chain rather than the target. 

 Another other method of mounting is an adapter which permits the metal target plate to be placed on 1 1/2"x 1 1/2" x 1/4" angle iron stem. Low rounds will generally go through the stem and eventually eat up enough metal to weaken it. The stem material is a common angle iron found at metal suppliers.  

Our smaller pepper poppers mount on a frame which has a built in bumper pad and removable stabilizer legs. They will stack flat when stored. The stabilizer legs are provided for use on terrain that might prevent leveling. 

Our large pepper popper frame also has a built in bumper pad. They too are designed to stack level when stored.
