CNC laser-cut in the USA from American-made SR500+ steel
SR500+ steel is more durable and better suited for steel targets than AR500
Double hook mount can accommodate any two, round rimfire targets up to 6" in diameter
Single hook works great for any round rimfire target 12" or smaller and the single-hole animal targets
Legs - raise the target 10.5" above the stake version, makes setup and teardown much easier, and flat packs
- Note: leg add-ons are 1/4" A36 steel.
Barbed stakes - keep the stands from tilting back from bullet impacts or order with the leg stand and don't worry about having to pound it into the ground at all
Barbed hooks help keep the targets securely on the stands without dampening the ring of the target.
The ability to add a 3/8" carriage bolt to mount openings means you are 100% sure small targets will not fall out

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?

Top Quality!

Superb awesome… will order again!

Top notch targets

Brad makes a phenomenal product. We use the his targets on our first match at Bridgeville Rifle and Pistol Club. Targets held up perfect. No damage to targets at all. They still look brand new miss paint. His customer service can not be beat!!!

Put together, mount some targets, set where you

Put together, mount some targets, set where you want, and forget about everything but having fun. They work awesome!

Another winner from Atlas Target Works!These

Another winner from Atlas Target Works!

These stands hold your target secure to let freedom ring!

Hold's well

These stake base holds very well in the ground

Quality product

The stake base worked well for the rimfire sighter plate. I will be buying more products for sure

One of the best stands available

While simple in appearance, a great deal of thought went into the design of these stands. Easy to assemble, great provisions for target retention and stable under impact. You won’t be disappointed with these stands.

Exactly what I needed

These target hangers are exactly what I needed. We've had issues with some of our smaller rimfire targets falling off another brand's hangers, but with these, that's not a problem. I could hit those targets with a centerfire, and they would stay put.
Great design and execution. Your products are superior to those I've bought from everyone else. The dinos are awesome.
You might want to mention in your hanger description that the spring steel hose clamps are included. I was pleasantly surprised to find them in the package.
We'll be doing more business soon.

Great products

My husband took the targets and stands to a local rim fire match. They were set up as one of the stages of fire. They got a good workout by the shooters distances from 40/90 yards targets and stands still in excellent condition. Great products and service. Highly recommend

Great Stand

Great stand for holding the targets. Works perfect our use at 50 and 100 yards for plinking with 22LR.

Excellent stand

Easy to use, well thought through, and versus above obstacles on our range.

Target Stand

I received the target stand quickly. The quality of the design is very good. The cutting of parts is very clean. It fit together very easily. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but from all indications it will work well. I will be buying more from Atlas Target Works in the future.

Double Hook Target Stands

Great stands. Easy to set up and break down for transport. Added another set to go along with my Green Army Men.

Great little target stand

Parts come unpainted; make sure you have your rattle can ready. I am ok with the targets unpainted, but I wish the stands were powder-coated

Rimfire targets

Over the last couple years, I have been ordering hangers and targets to practice NRL22 stages. Recently my granddaughter expressed interest, so I've finally have enough to setup 5 monthly stages. Everything has been great, and delivered in a timely fashion. Can't thank you enough!

Great Hangers

These are super simple to use and are easy to store when not in use. Really happy with this purchase and look to buy more
Thanks

If you like change, this is for you!

I'm trying to incorporate something into my range I've never had before, portability. All of these stands and hangers from Atlas have been absolutely gamechaning for me. I'm finally able to recreate scenarios like I wanted to as a child. Make those tough shots on critters I wouldn't otherwise, etc. I've been so happy with atlas targets!! I think I'm done buying guns for now, I have a steel addiction lol..

Target stakes

The target stakes are great, they stay straight and do not fly off when shot

Great Stands for Rimfire Targets

We have 20+ of these target stands at our range. We love the ability to place these anywhere we want without having to pound them into the ground. They are very stable and durable and have never had any break. We just bought 10 more of them we love them so much.

Hanger

Bought one of these to go with my order of Zombie targets. I wanted to try one out before order to many at once. Definitely well made and great for rimfire use. I will be ordering more from this company

RIMFIRE STAKE BASE

I purchased this to hang the rimfire sight in steel target. It's very well made with quality materials. I found that the sight in target has slots on the bottom corners and the legs from the hanging stand fit right in. Being mid-winter in Alaska it's still too cold to just go plinking. When the warm weather comes around, I am sure this is going to get lots of use. Brad went out of his way to get my stuff shipped to Alaska and I really appreciate the extra effort. Thanks Brad

Excellent product!

Well designed. Excellent quality. Stable. Fast shipping.

Awesome target stand

Amazing target stand. When not in use, the target lays flat. Simply slips together and clips together without tools.

Best target stand ever

I have two of, what I believe is, the first stands, two of the improved stands with carriage bolts, and now these three legged guys. Brad just keeps improving the design but I think this one is it. The take down is the best improvement yet.

This is my third stand Rimfire target that I got from Atlas. Absolutely great product and highly recommended

Works great

Solid hanger, nice not to have to worry about rocks or how I'm gonna get hanger into the ground.

Great product!!!

My targets are all uphill and hard to get too. I’ve never had to go to reset a target on one these hangers. !!

Great Product

Great product! I like the fact that he emailed me saying exactly when he was bringing the product to ship and gave the tracking asap. You dont get that very often. Solid product. Love hammering them with my 22:)

Excellent product and service

Ordered a rimfire stand and several targets. Customer service was excellent and the shipment arrived within a few days. I have taken the targets to the range a couple of times so far and it provides great flexibility and ease of practice at different size targets and distances. Very pleased.

The refresh on this target stands are excellent! They are easy to push into the ground and are super stable. The option to add a bolt to completely lock the target in the hoop is fantastic.
