Product FAQ's

What silhouette sizes are compatible with the Bash Target Supply Static Mount Hostage Accessory?

The static mount hostage accessory is available in dedicated configurations built exclusively to fit behind Bash Target Supply 12"x20" or 18"x30" AR500 steel silhouette targets.

Why do the hostage plate and reactive paddle hang at a forward angle?

The entire hostage bracket assembly and paddle hang at a perfect 20-degree forward angle to safely redirect bullet fragments downward into the ground while extending the overall life of the steel.

Which paddle thickness is best for my specific training caliber?

The standard 3/8" AR500 steel paddle is optimized for standard handguns and lighter rifle calibers, while upgrading to the thick 1/2" rifle-rated paddle slows down swing speed to prevent paddle slap-back when using big-bore rifles.

What hardware is included with the Bash Target Supply Static Mount Hostage target?

Every hostage target kit ships complete with industrial-grade Grade 8 mounting hardware to withstand constant heavy-impact vibrational forces without loosening or failing. You do need to purchase the static mount for either a 2x4 (sku 973) or T-Post (sku 314).

The Bash Target Supply Static Mount AR500 Steel Hostage Target Accessory collection is precision-engineered to deliver maximum stability, smooth paddle rotation, and extreme durability for high-volume tactical drills.

Designed to hang at an exact 20-degree forward angle, it safely directs bullet fragmentation downward while minimizing plate wear. For ultimate versatility, the system uses premium Grade 8 mounting hardware and offers standard 3/8" or heavy-duty 1/2" paddle thicknesses, allowing shooters to adjust paddle swing speeds or hot-swap down to 3/16" rimfire setups in seconds.
