Steel targets, I need these brackets

[BlackdogGS]

I bought these at MOA Targets a few years ago. I don't think they make them anymore. I need a set of 2. I'll continue looking, if I can't find them I'll make some. Thanks

A 2X4 always gets chewed up by bullet fragments. Someone makes the same kind of AR500 steel brackets (I use many of them) but they have round holes for steel pipe (no slivers).

Big saving - AR500 steel made target stand kit. Two stand brackets and six hanging hooks (pipes and targets not included). Slide the support bar through the circular hole of each J-hook, taking care to orient them similarly.

I have both EMT cross piece and 2x4 cross member set ups.
I like the 2x4 better. It's more versatile.
With the 2x4 I can :
Set up a plate rack
Hang steel plates on chains
Tack a 1x6 on top creating a shelf for water jugs

The 2x4 lasts me a long time before it needs to be replaced.

Those are for 3/4" sched 40 steel "gas pipe"
I would not use 3/4" EMT - that would be too wobbly.
I recommend the brackets set up for 1" EMT - light, cheap and has the stiffness needed.
