A common shooting range accessory provides a sturdy, readily available mounting solution for steel targets. Typically constructed from steel for durability and weather resistance, this type of hanger is designed to attach securely to a standard dimensional lumber size, offering a simple and cost-effective way to set up targets. An example would be a system utilizing a pair of heavy-gauge steel brackets that clamp onto the lumber and provide hanging points or mounting holes for various target types.
The widespread adoption of this mounting system stems from its adaptability, affordability, and ease of use. It simplifies target setup and replacement, contributes to a safer shooting environment by ensuring targets are securely mounted, and can be easily transported and reconfigured as needed. This approach builds upon a long tradition of using readily accessible materials in target construction and aligns with the practical needs of both casual and competitive shooters.
