Our slotted gong system is primarily used as static steel plates for steel challenge, 3 gun, and training. The way our system works, the plates will always hang with a 15-degree negative angle to the ground to help control the direction of the majority of the bullet fragments and minimizes the energy of any fragments that come off the plates in any other direction. The standard range that these and any other steel targets are shot at is 15 yards with pistol and rimfire, and 100 yards with center fire rifle. That being said, it is up to the shooter to make sure their steel is safe to be shot at, that it’s at a safe distance for whatever type of shooting drill they are wanting to do, and that the people with them or around them are aware of what they are intending to do. These plates are also used on our flash target and swinger.
These plates are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes from a 6” round to 18”x24” rectangle, and full size torsos.

NEW - Vertical Flat Bar Hangers
This NEW hanger system is going to be a game changer for clubs that run a lot of matches. This new system uses 3/8" x 1.5" flat bar instead of a 2x4. This means much longer lasting, no splintered wood, much longer time between service, and a much cleaner presentation of the plates.
We will also be adding these hanger options in their other respected areas so they appear with the other options we have for each application.
All parts will be painted black, the colors are just to help show how the system works.
NEW - Vertical No-Weld 2x4 Hangers
This NEW hanger system is super easy to set up and take down with no tools needed after the initial lag bolted is added to the back of the 2x4. to set up you just have to drill a 3/8" pilot hole about 1.5" down from the top of the 2x4 on what will end up being the back and then install the provided 1/2" lag bolt leaving a flat side on the top. You can leave this sticking out some of you want, but we have not found that to be necessary so far.

Hostage DTP Post Tops / Hangers ONLY
Hostage Targets - Horizontal or Vertical
Our hostage target uses DTP (Side to Dueling Tree Paddles) as the hostage taker. This target offers lots of great options for training and competition use. We design a head shaped DTP to be used with this system, but any of our other DTP’s can be used with it as well. The DTP-HD-79 is the 3/8” AR500 version of the head shaped paddle, but it is very difficult to flip it with a 9mm, so we are making it in 1/4" AR500 version as well (DTP-LT-79). You can get most of our DTP’s in either 1/4" or 3/8” AR500.
THIS IS FOR THE MAIN BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE PLATES.
