Upgrade your steel target system with the AR500 Vertical 2x4 Hook Target Hanger – a durable, rifle-rated hanger engineered for secure vertical mounting and maximum reactive feedback. Proudly made in Central Texas by active Army service members, this hanger exemplifies veteran craftsmanship using only premium American-made materials.
Precision CNC laser-cut from military-grade 3/8" thick AR500 steel for clean edges and minimal heat-affected zones, it's built to withstand direct rifle impacts without failure. The innovative barbed hook design securely holds targets with 1/2" square mounting holes, preventing slippage while preserving the full, undampened "ring" on impact – far superior to chains, belts, or springs that mute the sound.
Tool-free setup: Simply slide it onto a standard 2x4 board (not included) for quick, stable vertical hanging. All edges are tumbled post-production for softened, safe handling and a premium feel.
Key Features:
- Rifle-rated AR500 steel construction for extreme durability
- Barbed hook for secure, wobble-free vertical target mounting
- Maximizes clear audible impact feedback
- Compatible with targets featuring 1/2" square holes
- No-tools installation on standard 2x4 lumber
- Tumbled edges for safety and comfort
- Veteran-crafted in the USA
An affordable must-have ($15) for building custom, hard-hitting vertical target setups – perfect for gongs, silhouettes, or reactive drills.

Caliber Rating & Recommended Distances
Caliber Rating & Recommended Distances
Our 3/8" AR500 steel targets are rifle-rated and designed for exceptional durability across a wide range of calibers. To minimize surface pitting and extend target life:
- .223/5.56x45mm: 100+ yards
- 6.5 Creedmoor & .308/7.62x51mm: 150+ yards
- Magnum rifle cartridges: 300+ yards
- .50 BMG: 500+ yards
All standard pistol calibers are safe at any distance. For magnum pistol rounds (e.g., .44 Mag, .357 Mag), use 25+ yards.
These distances are conservative guidelines for optimal condition. Real-world testing shows outstanding performance at closer distances: 5.56 FMJ at under 20 yards leaves only minor marks, while high-velocity magnums like a custom 300 RUM (245gr Berger at 3100 FPS) at 300 yards produce no pitting. We've rigorously tested dozens of cartridges with excellent results, which is why we exclusively offer 3/8" thickness – delivering proven protection without the added cost and weight of thicker steel.
