    Default Hook N Shoot

    We will have a batch of our newly named Hooked N Shoot's later this week. Shepard Hooks have been used for years to hang targets from. They are portable, simple and inexpensive. The downside is that they break easily. We solved that by making our Hook N Shoot's out of 1/2" AR500! MSRP:$30 We will also have a lite version (3/8" AR550) for $25.

    Hey Roger!

    The price is for the hook only.

    We have plates (3/8" AR550) available from 4"-14".

    Is the hardness consistent throughout the piece? I would think that AR500 would crack/split at those sharp bends.

    The hardness is consistent throughout, and we haven't had any issues with them. Our gen 2 model, (the one we now ship, has one less curve) I'll post a pic later.

    We haven't had any issues with cracking or splitting. We radius all our corners (on all our targets) which tends to alleviate this issue.

    Odd question for you: Usually armor type targets are on a frame stand that are connected via two points. Do you find any problems with ricochets with only the top center single connection? I.E. You shoot on the side of the plate, it spins/tilts and send the bullet off at an angle unaccounted for, etc?.... Or am I just overthinking things?

    Cool, good to know. I never have, so not sure how much "swing" it would have. I'm just a lowly paper puncher.
