Hammer Targets

Steel targets and their respective stands are often cumbersome and heavy, making it a real chore to trek through rough terrain when placing targets, but Hammer Targets provides a simple solution with its target-and-stand system.

The gong is made of 3/8" ballistic-rated AR500 steel and is hung from a shock-reducing modular head connected to a steel stake. A sliding vertical-drive hammer aids in securing the stand into hard-packed soil. The gong’s design presents the target at a 20-degree angle to minimize splashback and ricochets. MSRP is $299.
