This video demonstrates two methods for attaching steel targets to standard T-posts: the Genesis T-post mount and the ADAP T-post bracket. It explains the benefits of T-post systems for range setup, especially for areas requiring mowing. The Genesis mount is presented as a budget-friendly option using welded mild steel, while the ADAP bracket is a more robust, non-welded design for higher-performance Exodus line targets.

Quick Summary

T-posts offer a stable, base-free solution for steel target hangers, ideal for ranges needing mowing. TA Targets provides the budget-friendly Genesis system (3/8" AR500) and the premium Exodus system (1/2" AR550 with lifetime warranty), with specific distance ratings for various calibers and muzzle velocities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of using T-posts for steel target hangers?

T-posts are advantageous because they can be driven directly into the ground, eliminating the need for bulky bases. This is particularly useful for ranges that require mowing, as it prevents grass from growing over bases and avoids potential damage from mowers.

What is the difference between the Genesis and Exodus steel target systems?

The Genesis system uses 3/8" AR500 steel and is a more budget-friendly option. The Exodus system features 1/2" AR550 steel with a lifetime warranty, offering higher durability and closer-range ratings for more demanding use. The mounting hardware also differs, with the ADAP bracket for Exodus being more robust.

What are the safe shooting distance recommendations for Genesis and Exodus steel targets?

For Genesis (AR500), pistols are at 10 yards, magnum pistols at 20-25 yards, standard rifles (<3000 fps) at 100 yards, and magnums at 200+ yards. For Exodus (AR550), pistols are at 10 yards, small carbines/rifles at 30 yards, .308/6.5 Creedmoor at 50 yards, and magnums at 100 yards.

How do I install a steel target hanger onto a T-post?

Installation varies slightly by mount. For the Genesis mount, slide the T-post into the designated slot and tighten the thumb screws. For the ADAP bracket, loosen nuts, slide onto the T-post, tighten thumb screws, then crank bolts to sandwich the post securely.
