Rubber Strap Target Hanger Kit

The Rubber Strap Target Hanger Kit converts a compatible static steel target into a swinging gong-style setup using an 8" self-healing rubber strap. The kit includes the rubber strap and mounting hardware needed to attach it between the hanger and target. The rubber mounting system allows the target to move on impact for clear visual and audible feedback while eliminating the weak steel links found in traditional chain setups. Manufactured in the United States.

The kit is designed for Shoot Steel speed rack-style hangers and standard horizontal 2x4 crossmembers. It supports round targets up to 8" in diameter and 1/2" thick, or up to 12" in diameter and 3/8" thick. The rubber strap is designed to take direct hits and continue hanging, but it is a wear item and should be replaced when tearing or damage becomes excessive.

Compatibility

• Designed for Shoot Steel speed rack-style hangers
• Mounts to a standard horizontal 2x4 crossmember
• Supports round targets up to 8" diameter and 1/2" thick

Installation

Mount the hanger system to a horizontal 2x4 crossmember and attach the rubber strap between the hanger and target using the included hardware. Drill a clearance hole through the 2x4 as needed for the strap, keep the strap aligned with the crossmember and make sure the target has enough clearance below it to swing without contacting the stand.

Safety and Usage

Minimum shooting distance and caliber compatibility are determined by the target plate used with this hanger kit. Follow the safety, ammunition and distance requirements for the specific target installed on the system.

Inspect the rubber strap, hanger and mounting hardware before every session. Replace the strap if it shows excessive tearing, cracking or other damage, and replace any hardware showing deformation or excessive wear. Rubber straps are wear components and will require replacement over time, especially with repeated direct hits or higher-energy shooting.

FAQs

What does the Rubber Strap Target Hanger Kit include?
The kit includes one 8" self-healing rubber strap and the mounting hardware needed to attach the strap between a compatible hanger and steel target.

What targets can I use with this hanger kit?
The supplied compatibility limits are round targets up to 8" in diameter and 1/2" thick, or round targets up to 12" in diameter and 3/8" thick.

What type of stand does it work with?
The kit is designed for Shoot Steel speed rack-style hangers used on a standard horizontal 2x4 crossmember. The target stand and 2x4 lumber are not included.

Can the rubber strap take a direct hit?
Yes. The self-healing rubber is designed to take direct hits and continue functioning. It is still a wear item and should be replaced when damage becomes excessive.

Why use rubber instead of steel chain?
Rubber eliminates individual steel chain links that can break when struck and allows the target to swing freely for visible and audible hit feedback.

How long will the rubber strap last?
Service life depends on how often the strap is hit, the target setup and the ammunition being used. Inspect it before every range session and replace it when tearing or damage becomes excessive.
