Frequently Asked Questions

How do you set up a T-post target system without a base?

To set up a base-free T-post target, drive a standard metal T-post into the ground. Then, slide the T-post hanger bracket over the top and secure it with a bolt and wing nut. Finally, mount your steel target plate to the bracket using its designated hardware.

What materials are used in the Genesis Systems T-Post Target Hanger system?

The Genesis Systems T-Post Target Hanger system features a 3/8 inch AR500 steel plate for the target itself, known for its durability. The bracket is powder-coated, while the steel plate is typically left as raw steel for better impact indication.

What is the benefit of a spring-loaded bolt assembly on a steel target?

A spring-loaded bolt assembly on a steel target helps to dissipate the impact energy from a projectile. This can reduce stress on the target and hanger, potentially extending their lifespan and providing a more consistent reaction from the target.

Where is the TA Targets T-post hanger bracket mounted?

The TA Targets T-post hanger bracket is designed to be mounted directly onto the top of a standard metal T-post. It slides over the post and is secured using a bolt and wing nut, utilizing the post's ridges for stability.
