Product FAQ's

Q: What is the Bash Target Supply 973 Top Post Angle Mount used for?

A: The Bash Target Supply 973 is a heavy-duty static steel target mount designed to securely mount AR500 steel target plates to a standard 2x4 post or Bash Steel Post. The bracket holds the target at a 20-degree downward angle to help direct bullet fragmentation and spall safely toward the ground and away from the shooter.

Q: What steel target plates are compatible with the 973 Angle Mount?

A: The 973 Angle Mount works with steel target plates featuring a 1/2-inch mounting hole, including square, rectangular, silhouette, and other static target plates. It can support large plates, including Bash Target Supply 18" x 30" 1/2"-thick silhouettes. The mount is also compatible with Bash Static Mount Hostage accessories 023, 024, 025, and 026 for creating a reactive hostage target setup.

Q: Does the 973 target mount include mounting hardware?

A: Yes. The 973 Top Post Angle Mount includes Grade 8 target mounting hardware and an industrial compression spring. The spring helps increase the audible report when the steel target is hit while reducing stress on the target plate. Three stainless steel thumb screws secure the bracket to the post for fast, tool-free installation.

Q: Why does the 973 mount the target at a 20-degree angle?

A: The 20-degree downward angle helps direct bullet fragmentation and spall toward the ground and behind the target rather than back toward the shooter. Angling the target also helps reduce wear on the AR500 steel plate and mounting system.

The Bash Target Supply 973 Top Post Static Angle Mount Plate Hangar is built for absolute durability and a loud report. Hang any, including the Bash Target Full size 18”x30” (1/2” thick silhouettes), steel target shooting plates (1/2” hole size) on this rock solid 2x4 top post hangar. Grade 8 mounting hardware kit including industrial compression spring to increase the audible report and extend the life of your steel plate. The hangar is designed such that the AR500 target plate directs all bullet fragmentation safely and away from the hangar. Fits perfectly over any 2x4 wood or the Bash Target Supply solid steel target stand posts (019,995). Three stainless thumb screws enable fast, tool free secure mounting. Angled static mount both increases the wear and the safety of your AR500 steel plate investment by directing bullet fragmentation and spalling safely down and behind the target. The 973-gong hangar is made of structural steel, zinc plated and powder coated in our vibrant safety blue color for corrosion protection. Attach the plate on the ground, then secure the 973/plate on top of the post. For Hostage target shooting, purchase our 023-026 Hostage accessory for the perfect static mounted Hostage target stand.
