Five targets. Five hangers. One bundle that turns any T-post fence line into a ready-to-shoot steel range in minutes. The 5-Pack 8" AR500 Static Target and T-Post Hanger Bundle pairs five 3/8" AR500 round plates with five of our patented T-post hangers, giving you everything needed to stage multiple shooting positions without running back to swap hardware. Fix a hanger to each target, drop them onto your T-posts and start shooting. When you are done, pull the targets off and leave the hangers on the posts. Next session starts in seconds.
Every plate is CNC laser-cut from 3/8" AR500 steel to minimize the heat-affected zone and preserve hardness all the way to the edge. That edge integrity is what separates these from cheaper plasma-cut targets, which soften at the perimeter and wear faster under sustained fire. The patented T-post hanger design drops onto any standard steel T-post without tools. Pick up extra hangers and you can swap different target sizes across the same posts without pulling stakes or breaking down your setup. Rated for all pistol cartridges and short-action rifles up to .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor. Ranked the number one AR500 steel target by Pew Pew Tactical.
T-posts take a beating from low misses over time. Add 20" T-Post Protectors to your order to shield the post face and extend the life of your setup. Not sure which thickness is right for your cartridge? Consult our Cartridge Guide.
What's Included

- (5) T-Post Hangers, patented design
- Not included: T-posts, paint
Safety and Usage
Minimum shooting distances:
- Centerfire handgun: 10 yards minimum
- Centerfire rifle at or below 3,000 fps muzzle velocity: 100 yards minimum; increase distance if pitting is observed
- Maximum rated caliber: .308 Win / 6.5 Creedmoor
- Always shoot perpendicular to the target face. Maintain a fresh coat of paint and replace damaged posts immediately.
Always use quality eye and ear protection. Inspect all plates and hangers before every session. Replace any plate that shows cratering or severe pitting. Repaint regularly to track impacts and monitor surface health.
FAQs
Why buy a bundle instead of individual targets and hangers?
Staging five shooting positions is where steel target training becomes genuinely fun and competitive. A single target is a drill. Five targets across a T-post line is a stage. This bundle gives you the complete setup in one order at a better value than purchasing components individually, with enough hangers to leave one on each post permanently so swapping targets never requires tools.
How does the T-post hanger work?
The patented hanger fixes to the target plate with the included hardware, then drops directly onto the top of a standard steel T-post. No bolts, no clamps, no tools required at the post. Pull it off when you are done and leave the post in the ground. The next time you shoot, the setup takes seconds.
Will these hangers fit my existing T-posts?
In most cases, yes. The hanger is designed for standard steel T-posts available at farm, ranch and hardware stores. Because post profiles vary slightly by brand, bring the hanger to the store to confirm fit before purchasing posts. T-posts not included.
What calibers are these targets rated for?
All pistol cartridges at 10 yards minimum and short-action rifles up to .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor at 100 yards minimum. For muzzle velocities above 3,000 fps, increase distance. For higher-powered rifle cartridges, see our 1/2" AR500 and AR550 target options.
Why CNC laser-cut instead of plasma cut?
Laser-cutting controls the heat-affected zone at the cut edge, preserving the steel's hardness all the way to the perimeter. Plasma cutting introduces more heat, softening the edge and reducing plate life under repeated impact. Over thousands of rounds the difference in edge durability is significant.
Should I add T-Post Protectors?
Yes, if you plan to shoot at or near the target height. Low misses and bullet splash that travels down the face of the target hit the post directly. Over time that notches and weakens the post. The 20" T-Post Protector attaches to the post face and absorbs those hits so the post stays intact and your setup stays safe.
Does it ship painted?
No. The targets ship as bare steel so you can apply your preferred color. White and bright orange provide the best downrange visibility.
Is this product made in the United States?
Yes. Our targets are manufactured in the United States using premium AR500 steel.
Do you warranty your products?
Yes. We stand behind our products.
