CNC laser-cut in the USA from American-made SR500+ steel
SR500+ steel is more durable and better suited for steel targets than AR500

Replaceable hooks keep you up and running if a hook takes one too many direct rifle hits
Target is able to vibrate, allowing it to ring with the loud sound of freedom that is dampened by bolting them to chain, strap, or springs
Mount works great with 1/2" square or circle holes
Standard Width can accommodate mounting hole spacing between 4-1/2" and 6-3/4"
Wide Width can accommodate mounting hole spacing between 6-3/4" and 10-3/4"

This is one of my favorite mounts and has a prominent place on the long distance portion of my range holding up AC Zones every 100 yards. A friend of mine liked how much better they let the target ring than the t-post mounts he had so I made sure that they would work for square or round mounting holes.

What mount is right for me?

There isn’t one mount that’s best for everybody. The right choice depends on what you’re shooting, how you practice, and where you set up your targets.

We recommend certain mounts alongside our targets because they're typically the best fit and the most popular choices. That doesn't mean they're your only options. Here's how I'd choose.

The short answer

How you shoot	Where I'd start
Mostly rifle shooting; want a loud ring	Gong hanger kit with pipe and SR500+ hooks
Rifle shooting; permanent range or difficult terrain	T-post hook hanger
Defensive-style pistol drills; rapid follow-up shots	Stable 2×4-based mount or an ATLAS Mount
Reactive animal target with a vital-zone flapper	Target-specific legs or stable mounting system

These are starting points, not hard-and-fast rules. Check each target and mount for compatibility before ordering.

Rifle shooting: let it swing and ring

If I'm mostly shooting rifles at a regular gong or silhouette, I like a target that's free to move. That movement gives you visual feedback when you connect, and letting the steel vibrate freely helps produce the loud, satisfying ring that makes shooting steel so much fun, especially at distance.

My personal favorite is our gong hanger setup using pipe and SR500+ steel hooks. The hooks allow the target to swing and resonate without rubber or chain clamped tightly to the plate. They're also built from tough target steel, so they're well suited to a shooting-range environment.

If your range layout or terrain makes a pipe stand inconvenient, our T-post hook mounts are another good option. They're especially handy when you can leave your posts in place.

Defensive pistol practice: keep the target more stable

For quick, repeated pistol shots, I generally favor a mount built around a 2×4 or on our ATLAS stands. A target that isn't swinging all over the place is easier to use for rapid follow-up drills, and a wood upright or the smooth front of the ATLAS stand is a more forgiving thing to accidentally strike than an exposed steel t-post. A bullet striking the T shaped post can create unpredictable fragmentation or ricochets, including material coming back toward the firing line.

Whatever mount you choose, follow the target's minimum-distance and ammunition guidelines. A stable mount does not make shooting steel at an otherwise unsafe distance acceptable.

T-post hangers: a great option in the right setting

T-post hooks are simple, versatile, and especially useful for a more permanent range. They can make setup easier on uneven ground or in spots where a conventional stand isn't ideal. They also let a regular target move and ring quite well.

The tradeoff is that the t-post does get chewed up over time (Although I've had my personal range setup for years without issue) and if you need to take your targets with you at the end of the day, pulling t-posts isn't that much fun. If you primarily shoot rifles from appropriate distances and want to keep targets positioned across a pasture or established range, t-posts may be exactly what you need.

Why I prefer steel hooks over rubber belts

Rubber belt hangers certainly have their fans, and they have their uses. But if getting a clear, loud ring is important to you, I'm not a big fan of them. Rubber tends to absorb some of the target's vibration. That vibration is what produces the sound you hear downrange, so dampening it can take away some of the best feedback steel offers. Although I don't sell chain, it does the same thing and dampens the ring of the targets.

That's why I usually reach for our SR500+ hook mounts on standard gongs and silhouettes. I want the target to move, vibrate, and ring rather than having that sound muffled by something bolted to it.

Reactive targets are a little different

With a reactive animal target, the goal isn't necessarily to get the entire target swinging. I want the body to stay relatively stable so you can immediately tell the difference between a body hit and a hit on the vital-zone flapper. When that flapper moves, it should be obvious. For these targets, the product-specific recommended legs or mounting system are generally where I'd start but under special circumstances, several of the options mentioned above will work as well.

A few important safety reminders

Use only target/mount combinations intended to work together; don't assume every hanger fits every plate.
Follow the published minimum shooting distance, ammunition, velocity, and energy limits for your target. Never shoot steel-core or armor-piercing ammunition at steel targets.
Position targets and exposed mounting hardware to minimize unpredictable splatter. Keep a suitable backstop behind every target.
Inspect plates and hardware for pitting, bending, cracks, loose parts, or other damage before shooting. Stop using damaged equipment.

Still not sure?

If you're torn between a couple of options, get in touch. Tell us which target you have, whether you mostly shoot rifle or pistol, and how you plan to set it up. We'll help point you toward a mount that makes sense for your range, not just the one that happens to be listed first.

WIDE DOUBLE HOLE MOUNT

Got for the 100% IPSC Target. Instructions are always spot on for those of us need them. Very well designed.

Great Company, Service and Products!

Applause to Brad at Atlas Target Works!
I have a range at my hunting ranch and use multiple size steel every 100 yards out to a half mile. Use Atlas with confidence!

Top notch

I recently bought the full size deer and t-post hanger ! Fantastic products ! Quick delivery and top notch quality ! Going to work out really nice for my range ! Going to be a return customer for sure ! Thanks Atlas Target Works making quality products !

Exactly what I was looking for!

I bought an AR500 silhouette target and didn’t realize at the time that the ones with two mounting holes would be very difficult to find a mounting bracket for it. After weeks of searching, I found the Atlas T-post double hook mount and was very pleased to see that it was adjustable to accommodate various sizes of targets. Since I’ve had it, I’ve only been able to run about 50 rounds through my pistol but I can say that it works great. The t-post hanger holds the AR500 target at a perfect angle to deflect the rounds down to prevent and shrapnel from splashing back at the shooter. I was doing double tap drills at 7 yards and had no issues. The target never moved and one of my shots hit the hook of the hanger but did not cause any damage. You will not be disappointed in this hanger.

Flexible holder

These are flexible from 10” to most 66% ipsc. And can reuse the holder ears. The slightly longer replaceable ears works well. I’ve not worn any out yet. I did use baling wire thru the pipe hole to keep it in place.
My impressions are good and 4 out of 5 is the beat I give any product that I’ve used for less than a year.

Awesome Mount!

I purchased the T post mount along with a 8 inch steel plate and I’m beyond happy! The quality and innovation is supreme. Also, shipping was super fast. I will be buying more products from Atlas!

Great mount

Love this t post mount, what a great idea. We’ll built from solid steel. Easy to assemble and holds up well after shooting with an AR15.

T-Post Double Hook Review

The T-post Double Hook is the best holder for plates that I have used. They work great for tactical drills and stand up to the beating this training dishes out. Service was fast, and quality is top notch! Will purchase again!

Excellent quality

Works great, here’s a hit with a 300 prc at 1150. I’ve got a couple lock rings holding it on because the spacing was wrong for my particular target.

Well done

Put it on an older post, was pretty tight

Put it on an older post, was pretty tight. Had to hammer it down. Once in place works great.

Double T-Post Mount

Received the Mount promptly after placing the order. Honestly, I have not even had an opportunity to use the Double T-Post Mount due to weather conditions however, I anticipate the same great product I always receive from Atlas.

Excellent Mount

I ordered the mount for the 100% IPSC I also ordered. It took me a minute to figure out how to put it together properly, but the directions in the packaging helped (I usually throw those away); it is a perfect combination!!
Shipping was fast and although I didn't need customer service, it was nice that Brad sent a note that if I needed anything or had questions/concerns, to please reach out.
I am the owner of a small business and I always love supporting other small businesses; I will definitely be ordering from Atlas Target Works again!

T Post double hook

Heavy duty! Great shipping.
A must for the heavy gongs.

Hanger and target

I also bought the ar500 silhouette along with the double t post hanger. Excellent target and very LOUD! Been looking for a loud gong and this is everything Brad says. Sturdy and loud! Started off with my son shooting a 22 pistol at it then I shot my p226 x5 legion 9mm at it. Sounds awesome!

T-post

Easy assembly price is reasonable and customer service is great.

Great product

Well made idea at a reasonable price.

Great revision

Brad, looks like you have made a revision since I purchased these last time. The new version is much better. I've got these hanging in the pasture and of course the cattle love to scratch on them. The old ones would slide sideways and plates would fall off. The new one stay upright. Thanks, for the quick service.

Hanger

I love the hanger design. have not had a chance to ring the steel yet, but construction/materials appear to be top notch. Look forward to field testing it .

Quality

I have made numerous purchases from Brad, this is no different. A quality product at a fair price from a small entrepreneur in the USA. What else can a buyer expect. Kindly support Brad’s business.

Great Product

Great products will purchase again high-quality components.

If you don’t like great mounts don’t buy!

I’ve bought from Brad before but these were a first for me. I was curious how they would hold up to fast, multiple rounds hitting the plate. As always, Brad came through. Works great for .223 and 9mm. I am wondering how they’ll do with a .308.
