Conveyor belting is the way to go.

That's a pretty cool set up. I think I will have to look into this.Conveyor Belt
You can buy it online pre-cut, cheap
I do the spring mounts on my plate rack and I will set up singles on a vertical 2x4 using the same principle.
Shown in the pic is 1" EMT (electrical conduit) with a 2x4 top rail.
One 10' stick cut in half makes 2 legs.
Those end frames are the cat's meow and use the hitch pins !
Shoot Steel is the vendor.

Do an Image Search on "steel target hangers" and you will get a ton of ideas.
If you want to make your own, I'll give you some templates.That's a pretty cool set up. I think I will have to look into this.

"Peanut Grinder" with "cut-off wheel".I don't recall what gauge chain i'm using, pretty heavy though. I just went to Park Rose Hardware and had them cut it for me. question though? How are you guys cutting your long piece into foot long +/- pieces? Hack saw sounds like too much work.
What ever. I use chain, but realized putting a couple, or three feet, of fairly heave wire in the range bag is the ticket.....to tie that chain back together when it gets shot through.
That's a great idea, except do you have to use Canadian steel ?I use a couple pieces of 1/8" thick angle iron over the chains. Each piece is about 16" long. Drilled a couple holes in each end and used soft wire to tie them in place. Works great. Deflects the bullets great.

I have one set of hangers made by a guy in NoCal that have a hole on one end for 1" EMT and a hook with a very long tag end. The gong is not coming out.I use 3/8 All thread or rod that I hammer into an S hook. Works great, takes hits (except for the big magnums).
Cross bar is 1" EMT conduit, legs are milsurp Aluminum tent poles, yokes and AR500 are by @IronMonster (RIP).
Used to use 3/8" chain, tire chain and steel cable (whatever junk I could get my hands on) but really stopped using chain because it was a PITA to transport. The S hooks are so much easier to move, store, and hold their position on the cross pipe well.
