I bought several steel plates so I could make a portable shooting range. Each plate is 8” in diameter, made of 3/8 inch thick AR500 Steel, with a center hole (pictured below).
Since portability is important, and I didn’t want to be limited to shooting prone, I did not buy the traditional target stand with a hanging chain. Instead, I bought heavy-duty shepherd hooks which are 48” tall.
However, the shepherd hooks could not handle the weight of the steel plates, especially while be blasted by a 308.
A company called “The 2nd Target Company” sells a “ground stake” hook steel target hanger (pictured below). However, it is only 31” tall.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Portability and ease of set-up is important because I need to break down the range after each use.
