    Hang Fast Targets offers a reactive target solution that might solve your problem. Our simple mounting system allows the target to swing freely in all directions when hit. The single mounting point enhances harmonics resulting in the best CLANG in the business. This video will demonstrate the...

    Body die versus full length die

    The Redding FL bushing die will act as a body die on loaded ammo if you take the bushing and stem out.

    Steel target help

    The following video shows a system that I have been working on for a while and will be made available very soon. The idea behind this system is to use the ubiquitous T Post as a stand and protect all the hanging components with the plate. It is impossible to hit the bracket or chain and the...

    Home made scope leveling jig....

    A single level would be more consistent. All I'm saying is that these bubble levels need to be calibrated to read the same because often they do not. If you attempt to use multiple separate levels don't be surprised if your results are inconsistent.

    Home made scope leveling jig....

    I bought a set of scope leveling bubble levels and when I put them side by side they did not read the same so there was no way they could have leveled my scope. For this jig to work you would have to calibrate all 3 levels to read exactly the same before mounting them on the jig.

    Building Steel Plate target stands...Need Ideas/pics of what works

    Easy? Portable? I can carry enough equipment on my BACK to set up 3 targets in just over 3 minutes. I had to develop this system because many of the places we set targets are inaccessible by vehicle. The pack is an Eberlestock Dragonfly. 3 minute steel target setup - YouTube Shot with .223...

    SH ColdBore Challenge ! Test yourself...

    I just came upon this thread and I remember an experiment I made several years ago with cold bore shooting. I put a target up at 450 yards and fired one shot at it on different days over a period of about a month. Since the range is in my backyard I could leave the target up the entire time...

    Hang Fast Target System

    I'm using grade 8 bolts. I have used regular hardware store carriage bolts in the past and have only ever shot through 1 of them in thousands of rounds.

    New target hanging system

    I'm using 1/4" A-36 hot rolled. The 12 gauge 1 oz rifled slug @ 25 yards has a power factor of 665 The 338 lapua using a 300 gr bullet and 2200 fps (about 450 yards) has a power factor of 660 That said I did see a little peening on the bracket where the chain sets and around the t post cut...

    New target hanging system

    They always come back to center or close enough so the subsequent shots are at the full face view. The plate on the chain works great if you are shooting without a spotter because by the time you get the scope back on the target it's still swinging if you hit it.

    New target hanging system

    I looked at the "Last Stand" concept a few years ago and that is why I designed the T Post hanger. My chains and brackets are all protected from bullet damage and I have about 10 less parts to schlep around. And the T post is much more stable than a sawhorse.

    New target hanging system

    All the T posts are standard posts you buy at a farm supply or some building supplies like Home Depot. Make sure they aren't a light duty knock off and it will work fine. The "A frame" you see is just 2 - 3/4 x 1/8" flat steel with a hole drilled in each end to put the hanging bolt in the...

    New target hanging system

    I'm about to bring in a sheet of A-36 steel and have it cut into about 180 of these brackets with the intention of offering them for sale. With the bracket all you need is a T Post, a target plate and a bolt or bolt and chain. The videos show a variety of ways to hang the target. My goal was...

    Hang Fast Target System

    Vince - I was concerned about that too and opted for "Grade" bolts, specifically plow bolts used on farm machinery. That said, most all hanging targets use some type of bolt to attach the plate and in 30 years of shooting at "bolted" plates I've only ever sheared one bolt and that was a soft...
