8×16 Hostage Target System

AR550 Silhouette 8×16 x 1/2

Every good 8×16 hostage target system starts with having the right steel. AR550 or better is the gold standard in target shooting. All of our targets are CNC laser cut giving you the hardest edges. Moreover; with laser cutting,  you will also get a cleaner smoother cut. This allows us to put 1/2″ square mounting holes in the target so you can use a safe round head carriage bolt to mount your target.  Many target companies use the cheaper CNC plasma cut process. Plasma cutting can overheat the metal and change the hardness of the target leading to more edge chipping shortening the life of the target. We powder coated in white so they are ready for action. Made in the USA

AR500 Hostage Target & Mount

Shooting targets has never been more fun! Our bolt on ar500 paddle comes is 5″ x 3/8″ and swings side to side when struck. 9mm or better works best to swing the paddle from side to side. It is mounted to the 2×4 mount so the main silhouette can still ring like a bell when hit. Whether you’re shooting hand guns or rifles, this system is sure to keep you’re shot groups honest.

20 degree 2×4 top mount

Our 2×4 target mount holds your 9×18 hostage target at a 20-degree angle safely deflecting spent shrapnel to the ground below the target.  The open hook design of the 2×4 mount allows you to quickly change your targets. Install the included grade 8 carriage bolt into your target with the lock nut and adjust so the target is properly angled.  As a result, the target can still move absorbing the energy of the shot while ringing like a bell. We designed the 2×4 tube so it fits the wood 2×4 eliminating it from having to be bolted on.

Target Lok System

Never worry again about your target bouncing off the stand with our included Target Lok system . Simply flip the lok down so it wraps around the 2×4 mount and your target is locked on. Want to remove your target? Simply flip the target lok up and lift the target off.

X-base 2×4 Stand Base

With four 3/16” grade 50 metal legs and a footprint of 20”x30”, you will never have to worry about your target falling over.  The “teeth” on the legs will dig in and provide a stable platform on virtually any type range soil. We know that not everyone’s range time experience is the same. For this reason, we’ve designed this base so you can permanently leave it together or break it down for portability. Simply unscrew the two wing nuts and pull the legs off the 2×4 tube. Once you have done the initial setup, it only takes less than a minute to take apart for easy transport. This design allows for quick set and portability of your system so when your done for the day you can quickly disassemble to store in a compact area or heavy duty duffel bag.

Grade 8 hardware kit

Nothing can ruin your range time faster than a broken 8×16 hostage target system. That is why we use a grade 8 carriage bolt to mount the silhouette to the 2×4 mount. By using this design, the silhouette can move which helps absorb the energy from your shot and provide a loud ring that will bring a smile to your face.
