The Hang Fast Target System
Introducing the Hang Fast T-Post Steel Target System, a rugged and ingeniously designed solution. Embracing the principles of simplicity and innovation, this system offers effortless usability without the need for any additional tools apart from a T-post driver for installation. The hanger easily slides over the T-post, and thanks to the weight of the target, it remains securely in place even during intense firing sessions.
Attaching the target plate to the hanger is a breeze, requiring no tools—simply use a short chain or bolt. This design ensures that the hanger and hardware are shielded from bullet damage, as the plate provides effective coverage. By hanging at a back angle, the target plate effectively deflects bullet splatter downwards, while the reactive mounting system diverts bullet energy, resulting in increased durability.
With the addition of a chain, the plate becomes highly responsive, making hits easier to detect even at longer distances. The single mounting point enhances plate harmonics, producing a resounding CLANG upon impact. Plus, rest assured knowing that the steel structure has no welds that could break or weaken over time. The mounting bolt boasts Grade 8 strength, guaranteeing long-lasting performance.
Tough and resilient, T-posts can endure substantial bullet damage without compromising the hanger's effectiveness. This versatility allows for multiple targets to be hung on the same T-post, including sizable and weighty options like a full-size 1/2" IPSC target. Furthermore, this system offers exceptional portability, and once the post is firmly set, it remains in place for years. If needed, the post can be easily removed based on ground conditions.
Thanks to its affordability, multiple posts can be set up across various locations, with the flexibility to move and reposition the targets alone. Expanding its capabilities, the hanger accommodates large target plates, and the single bolt mounting system allows for greater target movement and a more pronounced CLANG!
The HEART of the system - the Hang Fast Hanger
The Standard hanger is specifically designed for plates weighing 10 pounds or more, up to 100 lb +. It utilizes an attachment point shaped like a cross, where the chain securely sits inside, locking itself in place with the weight of the plate. This design ensures a reliable hold, keeping everything securely in position. Our system includes a short chain section consisting of three lengths, with one length attached to the plate using a Grade 8 carriage bolt, while the other link is connected to the hanger. This configuration allows for unrestricted plate movement in all directions, providing an engaging shooting experience.
Furthermore, the single plate attachment point enhances plate harmonics, resulting in hits that produce a distinctive ringing sound, reminiscent of a bell. This added feature adds to the overall enjoyment and satisfaction of shooting targets with our system.
At Hang Fast, we prioritize user experience, ease of setup, and optimal performance. Experience the simplicity, durability, and resonating hits provided by our Hang Fast Target System as you enjoy a rewarding shooting experience.
FAIL SAFE HANGER
The FAIL SAFE HANGER is compatible with any plate measuring over 6 inches in diameter and is attached using a single Grade 8 carriage bolt. While this hanger system may not offer the same level of reactivity as the chain mount, it provides reliable front-to-back reactivity. The plate will hang at an approximate 10-degree angle downward, effectively deflecting splatter.
To further enhance stability for lighter plates, the kit includes a T POST CLAMP. This clamp prevents the plates from "walking" down the T-post, ensuring they remain in their intended position.
Experience the enhanced security and peace of mind provided by our FAIL SAFE HANGER system. Rest assured that your lighter plates will remain securely in place, regardless of the caliber used, while still benefiting from effective splatter deflection.

The Hang Fast Standard hanger offers the versatility of being used with a bolt alone, in addition to the chain attachment. This feature is particularly beneficial in scenarios where excessive side-to-side movement is not desired, such as rapid-fire handgun drills or two-shot exercises. By using the bolt-only configuration, shooters can achieve a more stable target setup for precise and controlled shooting experiences.
In addition, our target plates measuring 12" and larger provide the option to adjust the angle of deflection. By using longer bolts, it is possible to adjust the plate's angle of tilt up to 20 degrees, effectively redirecting splatter downward and ensuring a safer shooting environment.
Experience the flexibility and customization offered by the Hang Fast Standard hanger, allowing you to adapt your target setup to different shooting scenarios. Whether using the chain attachment for maximum reactivity or the bolt-only configuration for increased stability, our system empowers shooters to optimize their practice sessions and achieve their desired training outcomes.

PLATES WITH 2 MOUNTING HOLES
Using sawhorse setups with 2-hole plates can be a challenging task, particularly when dealing with uneven terrain or hilly areas. At Hang Fast, we have discovered another excellent application for our Standard Hanger that addresses this issue. By utilizing our Standard Hanger with 2-hole plates designed to be hung from 2 chains, you can take advantage of the stability and versatility offered by T-posts.
T-posts can be easily driven into the ground, providing a remarkably stable platform for your 2-hole plates, regardless of the terrain. This allows you to set up your targets in almost any location, even on uneven or hilly ground. The versatility and stability of T-posts enable you to create a reliable shooting setup, ensuring a safe and enjoyable shooting experience.
Moreover, our Standard Hanger offers the advantage of a small footprint and easy transport. Its compact design makes it convenient to carry and set up, allowing you to enjoy shooting sessions in various locations without hassle.
Experience the enhanced stability and adaptability provided by the combination of our Standard Hanger and T-posts. Overcome the challenges of setting up targets on uneven ground and hills, while enjoying the convenience of a portable target system.
TIRE STEEL TARGET SYSTEM
By mounting a tire over the plate, you can effectively capture the majority of bullet fragments, preventing them from causing damage to surrounding targets, walls, or range equipment. This innovative feature proves particularly valuable for customers utilizing our system in indoor ranges, as it significantly minimizes fragment damage to the ceiling and lighting fixtures. Not only does this setup reduce the cleanup effort required after shooting sessions, but it also presents an opportunity for lead recycling.
With our system, you have the option to collect the lead fragments and recycle them for various purposes. Whether you choose to repurpose the lead for manufacturing bullets or crafting sinkers for fishing, you can maximize the value of your shooting experience while minimizing waste.
Enjoy the peace of mind knowing that our system not only protects your equipment and surroundings from fragment damage but also promotes environmental sustainability through lead recycling.

TARGET ANGLE RE-DIRECTS IMPACT ENERGY
By adjusting the angle of the target plate, you can effectively decrease the impact energy when shooting rifles, allowing for closer engagement with the target. This reduction in distance not only minimizes potential damage but also enhances the deflection of bullet splatter downward, ensuring a safer shooting environment.
In our latest video demonstration, we showcase the impressive performance of our target system. We utilize a .308 caliber rifle with standard ammunition and engage the target from a distance of 15 yards. This close-range shooting scenario highlights the capabilities of our system, illustrating how the adjusted target angle contributes to reduced damage and improved splatter deflection.
Unlike other close-range rifle targets that rely on heavy brackets to force the target plate into the desired angle, our system features a single mounting point that greatly enhances plate harmonics. This unique design results in a distinct and resonant impact sound, making it easier to discern hits on the target plate.
Join us in the video as we demonstrate the advantages of our target system. Experience the benefits of reduced damage, enhanced splatter deflection, and improved target feedback through the amplified impact sound. Unlock the full potential of your shooting sessions with the Hang Fast target system, designed to deliver an immersive and rewarding shooting experience.
