Standard Hanger
$19.95
- The STANDARD HANGER is the backbone of the Hang Fast system, purpose-built for heavy-duty T-post target setups.
- Loud & Clear: Single-point mounting amplifies plate harmonics for a resounding bell-like “CLANG.”
- Heavy Duty: 1/4″ A36 steel construction supports plates from 10 lbs to 100 lbs+.
- No Tools Needed: Integrated wrenches for the T-post clamp and mounting bolts allow for instant field adjustments.
- Safe Angles: Uses gravity to maintain a natural 5–20° downward angle, safely deflecting splatter.
- Rapid Reset: Chain mount resets in under 3 seconds—far faster than sluggish conveyor belt systems.
Pro Tip: For smaller plates under 10 lbs, swap to the Fail Safe Hanger to prevent targets from being knocked off the hanger.
Description
The STANDARD HANGER from Hang Fast Targets is the ultimate tactical mounting solution for shooters who demand speed, safety, and a loud, clear response. Engineered for heavy-duty range use, this hanger system eliminates complex setups and provides superior protection for your hardware.
- Maximum Versatility: Multiple mounting configurations—Chain, Bolt, or T-Post—to adapt to any range or drill.
- Tactical Advantage over Sawhorses: Unlike traditional sawhorse or conveyor belt designs that are prone to “target walk,” tip over on uneven ground, or suffer from destroyed wooden crossbeams, and slow target reset, this compact T-post system provides rock-solid stability in any terrain.
- Rapid Reset: The Chain Mount delivers high kinetic reaction and resets in under 3 seconds—outpacing sluggish conveyor belt systems.
- Superior Ballistics: Single-point mounting amplifies plate harmonics for a clear “clang” while creating a natural 5–20° downward angle to deflect splatter safely.
- Armor-Integrated Protection: STANDARD HANGERS are designed to stay “hidden” behind the steel, shielding your hardware from direct impacts and fragmentation.
- Enhanced Sound: The single mounting point enhances plate harmonics resulting in more CLANG
- Rapid Deployment: Every hanger comes with built-in wrenches for T-post clamps and bolts. Zero tools required for field adjustments.
- Heavy-Duty Capacity: Engineered for 10″ plates and larger (10lbs+). Rated for high-energy rifle projectiles when paired with a Grade 8 bolt.
- Precision Stability: Targets over 10 lbs will stay secure to the post and the hanger resulting in zero down time for target repairs
Pro Tip: While this system is optimized for Hang Fast Plates, following these technical specifications will allow you to safely run your existing third-party steel on our hangers.
- Armor-Shielded Design: The STANDARD HANGER sits directly behind your steel, using the plate itself as a ballistic shield to protect the hanger and hardware from bullet damage.
- Precision Hole Placement: To keep the hanger fully protected when using The Short Chain Section Mount, your plate’s bolt hole must be located at least 3 ¾” from the top edge.
- Critical Sizing: Built for plates 10″ and larger. If your steel is under 10 lbs or 10″, use the Fail Safe Hanger to prevent high-energy projectiles from knocking the target off the post.
- Universal Compatibility: For plates with high bolt hole placements (common in other brands), bypass the chain and use a single bolt. Do not overtighten; allow the plate to move freely to dissipate energy.
- Tactical Hang Angle: For 12″+ plates, position your bolt hole 1/3 of the way down from the top to achieve a perfect 15-degree safety angle (e.g., 4″ down for a 12″ plate, 6″ down for an 18″ plate).
Grade 8 Bolt info
Standard hardware store bolts cannot handle the violent shockwaves of high-energy rifle rounds. We use Grade 8 carriage bolts to keep your targets standing.
- 150,000 PSI Tensile Strength: More than double the strength of standard 60,000 PSI hardware store bolts.
- Prevents Shearing: Standard bolts fail in as few as 20 rounds from a 7.62×39 rifle because the intense plate vibration shears the heads right off. Grade 8 hardware resists this kinetic torque.
- Safer Shooting: The smooth, low-profile carriage heads minimize dangerous bullet splatter deflection.
- Easy Setup: The square neck locks directly into our square-hole plates. You only need one wrench for target assembly.
- Hard to Find Local: Grade 8 hardware is highly specialized. We strongly recommend adding them to your order so you don’t get stranded at the range.
T Post info
T Posts are manufactured from recycled railroad steel and are available in a variety of weights 0.95lbs, 1.25 lbs. & 1.33lbs, etc. per foot. The post is designed in a “T” configuration, has studs every 2-1/2 inches to help support the fence, and includes a 7 in. long by 3 in. wide steel anchor plate to stabilize the post in the ground. Our T Post hangers are designed for 1.25 and 1.33 lb / ft T Posts.
- Manufactured from rail steel
- Weight 1.25 lbs. per lin. ft., including the anchor plate (most common)
- Coated with rust-resistant green enamel paint for corrosion protection
- Should be driven into the ground a minimum of 12 in.
- Use Fence Post Driver or sledge hammer to drive post into the ground.
- Using a sledge hammer can deform the post making hanger installation difficult.
- Available at most farm and hardware stores. Home Depot and Lowes.
TIPS:
- Inspect the top of posts for deformation before purchasing. During manufacturing they are cut to length while hot and the ends can become deformed making installing the hanger difficult. Some deformation is normal, look for twisted or very obvious deformations.
- When installing for temporary use or light target loads in firm ground, pound the post deep enough to engage the fin at least halfway. This will make removing the post easier.
- Make life easier and get a T Post pounder.
- Make life even easier and get a T Post puller. For hard ground or deep posts, this tool is a lifesaver.
- BUY LOCALLY! T post are available everywhere and cost more to ship than they are worth.
