What if you looped the chain around your crossbar and then welded the tail to it?
Looks awesome, come weld a couple up for me next time you’re in Nebraska

You’re supposed to bolt the chain to the plate. It has a bolt hole in each corner actually. I just didn’t feel like getting bolts initially, and now 5 years later I still just weld the link to the plate lol
Haha no worries!! Easy to misunderstand things on the interwebs!I’m just not smart ha I reread the your initial post and yeah. I’m dumb![]()
I have some T posts that are decades old and pretty shot up with chunks missing. I haven't had to replace one yet- but FWIW, I'm using the plates for pistol shooting not rifle.I feel like my dumba$$ would miss the target low and center punch that t post first shot![]()
My endorsement is specific to hanging steel rifle targets (pistol drills too if you're into it) + be portable enough to transport in the back of a pickup truck/under a bed cover.Does anyone have any favorite ways to rig steel targets DIY? I've hung them from cord, fence posts and garden hooks but am wanting something a little more burly
For the simplest and cheapest DIY option ive used some 2x4 sawhorse clamps to hang targets from. Its burly but the shrapnel embeds heavily in the wood so be sure to bring leather work gloves when moving them.Does anyone have any favorite ways to rig steel targets DIY?

Yep, this is the easy buttonMan, a Tpost and one of these is soooo much easier and cheaper than all the other crap haha

This kit works really well for me. Very portable tooFor the simplest and cheapest DIY option ive used some 2x4 sawhorse clamps to hang targets from. Its burly but the shrapnel embeds heavily in the wood so be sure to bring leather work gloves when moving them.
For a little bit more Midway sells their EMT brackets for $25 you have to DIY the 1in EMT but also burly.
