Frequently Asked Questions

What are the available heights for TA Targets' knockdown posts?

TA Targets offers two knockdown target post lengths: a 36-inch post and a 48-inch post. When installed with at least 12 inches buried in the ground, these result in target heights of approximately 24 inches and 36 inches, respectively.

Are TA Targets' knockdown targets suitable for rifle use?

No, these knockdown targets are strictly pistol-rated only. The uprights are made of mild steel, which is not designed to withstand rifle fire and can be easily damaged, causing holes or other structural issues.

How are TA Targets' knockdown targets installed?

Installation is straightforward: simply hammer the post into the ground using a mallet until at least 12 inches of the post is secured for stability. No additional tools or complex assembly are required for the target system itself.

What types of gongs are compatible with the TA Targets knockdown system?

The TA Targets knockdown system is designed to work with their own Genesis gongs. It is also compatible with their older 1/2-inch AR550 gongs, allowing users to leverage existing steel targets.
