I've seen a few threads asking about various ways to hang targets. I even sent a few people some straps we have free of charge. But if anyone wants to be able to buy them here you go (we'll run out eventually and need to save some for ourselves). just take the through bolt out and you have 16 pcs for $28.

they hold up extremely well to impacts, and already have holes in them. get creative on mounting them to the plate/hanger

was going to go that route, but then I would have to cut it to size. then we found these straps which are almost the perfect length already and have the holes. ready to go! but yes I've been told the fire hose works well

Lucky duck lol, we buy sheets and waterjet our straps out..not the cheapest way for sure.

We install large machinery and I started using conveyor bolting because I have tons of it. It is similar to the rubber in the bumpers but more flexible...

It's the best method I have found so far of you don't want to use chain

Old semi mud flaps are a decent alternative as well.
Sawzall and 5 minutes can make several.

Never tried a sawzall, I use a sharp utility knife and glass cleaner for lube so the blade doesn't hand up. It works really good. I also found a good unibit works good for drilling the holes too.

It takes two seconds with a sharp razor and being able to cut to size is a nice feature as well as being free, which is what I like best. LOL It does work very well and can take a lot of abuse.

Use round baler belting. It comes in less large rolls and can be cut fairly easily. It comes in various widths and any ag equipment shop has lots of ut laying around and will most likely just give to you
