Steel wants to move. Hang it so it swings and angle it slightly downrange. That is what turns impact energy into a gong instead of a ricochet. Pistol from 10 yards, rifle from 100. Eye protection, every time.
You already own a stand. Or a tree.
The 18" AR500 gong with Kevlar straps, hanger and hardware, everything except the stand. Hang it from a limb, a frame, or the stand in your truck.

Straight answers
What can I hang it from?
Anything that will hold 30 lbs and let the plate swing: a tree limb, a 2x4 frame, a pipe stand, the bed rail of a truck. The one rule is that it must swing freely. A rigid mount takes the full impact and throws fragments straight back at you.
Should I just buy the complete system?
If you need a stand at all, yes. Bare Bones plus our stand is $329.98 in two packages with two shipping charges; the complete system is $349.99 in one. Bare Bones only makes sense if you genuinely already have somewhere to hang it.
How much is shipping?
Roughly $20 to $44 Ground depending on distance from Idaho. Use the ZIP estimator above for your exact figure. It is the same number checkout shows.
