unsure where exactly to ask this but who makes the best steel target hanger for a T-Post? I bought several made by Champion and they all suck and most are broken now. I think their problem is they use too cheap of steel

Perhaps not shooting the target holder will add to the longevity. Try adding a second T post and hang a board or chain or wire between the two post to hang your plates that should last longer.

I've got a handful of these that I hang six and eight inch plates from on t-posts.

Junk Fu solution:





Shallow uni-strut scraps with the bolts, nuts, washers, spacers, etc of you choice. Strut sections should be 4" or 5" at least or heavier calibers will make them jump off the t-post. Squeeze the strut a little in a vise to bend the center and they will fit over the teeth on the face of the T-post

Krate tactical makes a good simple durable design.

Takes a lot of direct hits to kill them. I have like 15 of them.  Don’t think I’ve totally killed one yet. Bee a couple years of using them

I like it but in my experience the nut on the bolt always loosens itself from vibration and also requires tools unless you just hand tighten the nut.

Use a lock nut like your supposed to and it won't come undone, mine have been up for 8 years.

Tried those and they loosen themselves too. With the volume of fire my targets see, I moved away from nut & bolt designs. They stay up 24/7 on private land and get shot almost daily. T post target hanger "hooks" usually last a few months, just getting tired of replacing. I realize not shooting the hanger hook adds to the longevity, but I don't control who uses the range on a daily basis

When I bought my farm, there was a pile of posts in the barn, prolly 100 of them.  Previous owner set up electric fences for grazing animals.

Eh.  I haven't had to throw away a t-post yet.

I like these, but got them when they were cheaper. They are finicky about the top of the T post not being bent up. Also, I think it shipped with metric fasteners. I just assumed they were going to be SAE. Had to order some as the hardware store does not stock those.

The junk fu C channel idea is great!

I got mine from makeitring.  Have held up fine.

As far as chains vs. hangers, I've observed that the impact on the target at distance is much more audible when on a hook as opposed to chains.  Big difference.
