Steel targets are only as good as what they hang from, and this is where the Birchwood Casey Rubber Strap Target Hanger earns its keep. Instead of the metallic rattle and easy-to-damage links of chain, it uses a heavy double-ply rubber strap that loops through your gong's mounting holes and wraps around a horizontal 2×4 or bar. The rubber absorbs a good chunk of the impact energy, lets the plate swing freely for that satisfying ring, and shrugs off the occasional stray hit far better than chain ever will.
The strap suspends your target at a slight downward angle, which is the whole point of hanging steel correctly. That downward tilt sends bullet splatter toward the ground instead of back at you, and the free swing bleeds off energy so your plates last longer. It works with steel gongs and similar targets that use standard 1/2-inch mounting holes, so it pairs up nicely with most AR500 gongs you already own or plan to pick up.
Birchwood Casey includes the hardware you need to get going, so there's no scrounging through the garage for the right bolt. Thread the strap, mount it to your crossmember, and you're shooting. Because rubber runs quieter than chain and takes direct hits without failing, a lot of folks like keeping a set on hand for both pistol plates and rifle gongs.
One thing worth knowing going in: rubber straps are a wear item. They're built from tough double-ply material and will take a beating over long range days, but repeated direct hits eventually chew them up. Keeping a spare in your range bag means you're never sidelined when one finally gives out. For anyone who runs steel regularly, that trade-off is well worth the cleaner swing and reduced hardware damage.
It's designed for steel gong targets and similar plates that use standard mounting holes, so most AR500 gongs will pair up with it. Thread the strap through the target's holes and wrap it around your crossmember. As long as your plate has the holes to accept it, you're good to go.
Rubber straps absorb impact energy, let the target swing freely, and can take direct hits that would damage or break a chain link. They also run quieter than clanging chain and help direct splatter downward. Many folks find rubber gives a cleaner swing and less wear on the rest of their mounting hardware.
No, Birchwood Casey includes the hardware you need to mount it. Just thread the strap, attach it to a horizontal 2×4 or bar, and hang your gong. It's a quick setup that gets you shooting without a trip to the hardware store.
The double-ply rubber is built tough and holds up well over long range days, but like any strap it's a wear item. Repeated direct hits will eventually wear it down, so it's smart to keep a spare in your range bag. For most shooters running steel regularly, the trade-off in swing and reduced hardware damage is well worth it.
