When it comes to hanging steel targets securely and safely, the right mounting hardware makes all the difference. The Hyskore 30305 Range Hound™ T-Post Chain Hanging Bracket was engineered to provide a smarter, stronger, and more reliable solution for shooters who demand durability and precision from their target systems.

Unlike standard welded brackets that can weaken at heat-affected zones, the 30305 is cast from heat-treated chrome moly steel. Casting allows the fixture to maintain uniform hardness throughout, eliminating structural degradation common in cut or welded AR500 target mounts. The result is a heavy-duty steel target hanger that stands up to repeated impact, harsh weather, and extended outdoor exposure.

One of the standout features of this bracket is its semicircular chain hanging cleat. This intelligently designed feature securely cradles chain links while allowing targets to swing freely. Proper target swing is critical for dissipating bullet energy safely and extending the life of both the steel plate and mounting hardware. Whether you’re running pistol drills at close range or stretching rifle distances, the 30305 keeps your setup stable while maintaining safe reactive movement.

Designed specifically to ride along horizontal T-posts — such as those installed in A-frame target systems — this bracket offers flexibility in positioning and spacing your targets. The multiple drilled and tapped holes (four 5/16”-18 and two ¼”-20) provide adaptable mounting configurations, making it compatible with a wide range of steel gongs, silhouette targets, rebar setups, EMT conduit frames, and other custom builds. A standard ¼”-20 bolt can even serve as a clevis pin through chain links for fast field adjustments.

Weighing approximately 5 pounds, this fixture delivers solid mass without unnecessary bulk. It’s rugged enough for commercial range operators and competition environments, yet practical for private landowners building their own steel target range.

If you’re serious about steel target shooting, tactical training, or competitive marksmanship, upgrading your mounting hardware to a purpose-built cast fixture like the Hyskore 30305 is a smart investment. Reliable mounting means better target performance, safer shooting conditions, and less time spent replacing worn-out hardware.

Cast Chrome Moly Steel Construction
Manufactured from heat-treated chrome moly steel — the same material and process used in historic military armor applications — this cast fixture eliminates weak heat-affected zones common in welded AR500 brackets for superior long-term durability.

Precision Chain Hanging Cleat Design
Features a semicircular chain hanging cleat engineered to cradle chain links securely while allowing proper target swing for improved energy dissipation and safer shooting performance.

Drilled & Tapped for ¼”-20 Hardware
Includes ¼”-20 threaded holes so a standard bolt can function as a clevis pin through chain links, providing flexible mounting options and fast field replacement.

Multi-Hole Versatility (5/16”-18 & ¼”-20)
Equipped with four 5/16”-18 holes and two ¼”-20 holes for adaptable mounting configurations across steel targets, chains, brackets, EMT, and rebar setups.

Designed for Horizontal T-Posts & A-Frames
Engineered specifically to ride along horizontal T-posts such as those used in A-frame target systems, delivering stable positioning and adjustable target spacing.

Built for Ranges, Competitions & Private Use
Ideal for AR500 steel targets, tactical training, competition shooting, and private property ranges. A rugged 5 lb fixture built to withstand repeated rifle and pistol impacts.

Technical Overview

The Hyskore 30305 Range Hound T-Post Chain Fixture is a cast, heat-treated chrome molybdenum steel mounting component engineered for horizontal T-post target systems. The casting process preserves material hardness throughout the structure, preventing strength reduction commonly associated with welded AR500 brackets.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: Heat-treated chrome moly steel (cast)
• Weight: 5 lbs
• Mounting Holes:
  • (4) 5/16”-18 threaded holes
  • (2) ¼”-20 threaded holes
• Integrated semicircular chain cleat
• ¼”-20 tapped provision for bolt-as-clevis configuration
• Designed for horizontal T-post compatibility
• Compatible with steel targets, AR500 plates, chain suspension systems
• Suitable for use with T-posts, rebar, and EMT conduit frames

The fixture is designed to slide along horizontal T-post cross members, allowing adjustable target positioning. The semicircular cleat geometry optimizes chain seating while permitting reactive plate movement for energy dispersion.
