70x35 Plate Rack Rubber Strap Target Hanger
70x35 Plate Rack Rubber Strap Target Hanger – Flexible Suspended Mount
Shock-Absorbing Target Hanger with Increased Frame Protection
The 70x35 Plate Rack Rubber Strap Target Hanger is a suspended target mounting solution designed to reduce frame impacts from missed shots while maintaining a vertical target position at all times. This system utilizes the bolt hanger body in an inverted mounting position and replaces the standard direct bolt mounting with a reinforced rubber strap, allowing the target to hang lower than the 70x35 crossbar, similar to the steel strap hanger.
The rubber strap serves as the recoil device, allowing the target to move freely when struck. However, unlike rigid steel mounts, this setup does not offer a rapid reset—the target takes a few seconds to return to its original static position after impact.
Key Features:
✔ Suspended Target Setup – Lowers the target below the 70x35 crossbar, increasing the buffer area and reducing frame exposure to missed shots.
✔ Shock-Absorbing Rubber Strap – Reinforced rubber absorbs impact energy, reducing stress on the mounting hardware.
✔ Secure, Bolt-Type Mounting Base – Uses the same bolt hanger body as the rigid bolt mount but without the spring recoil device.
✔ Universal Gong Compatibility – Can be used with all target sizes and thicknesses, including multi-hole gongs.
✔ Maintains a Consistent Vertical Position – Unlike steel strap hangers, the target naturally self-levels, making it ideal for uneven shooting terrain.
✔ Minimal Side-to-Side Movement – The bolt-mounted base prevents hanger shifting, though the gong itself may sway or twist slightly before returning to position.
✔ Moderate Price Point – More affordable than the steel strap hanger, while offering better protection than the direct bolt hanger.
Hanger Options:
✔ Set of 6 – A complete set for full plate rack configurations.
✔ Individual Replacement Hanger – Sold separately for adding extra plates or replacing worn/damaged hangers.
Performance & Durability:
- Provides a larger buffer zone, reducing impact damage to the 70x35 crossbar and hanger mount.
- Rubber strap will wear over time—while extremely durable, repeated impacts can eventually cause failure due to material fatigue.
- The rubber self-heals to an extent but will still develop small holes from repeated hits—replacement straps are available via our spare parts section or contact page.
⚠ Important Notes:
- Does not allow for rapid follow-up shots, as the target takes a few seconds to return to a neutral position.
- Gong movement varies—a direct impact may cause temporary side-to-side sway or slight rotation before self-correcting.
- Refer to our Safety, Distance & Calibre Ratings page for recommended impact ratings.
