AR500 Steel Target Stand Combo - 2x4 Mount Kit for Range Use

In this review the AR500 Steel Target Stand Combo is judged on practical range use and durability; it is best for shooters who want a ready-to-use steel target solution that saves time and money. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a heavy duty four-leg steel stand and a 2x4 target hanger that together provide a stable, transportable setup and a 15 degree angled mounting that deflects shrapnel downward for safer shooting. Assembly is straightforward for one person, which makes the kit useful for solo training and quick range setups.

Key Features

• Combo Package: Includes both a shooting target stand and a 2x4 target hanger so buyers get a complete setup without sourcing parts separately.
• Durable Construction: The target stand is made of heavy duty steel with a rust-proof powder coat finish to withstand repeated use and outdoor storage.
• Stable Four-Leg Design: Four legs add stability on uneven ground for more reliable target placement during live fire sessions.
• 15 Degree Deflection: The 2x4 target holder sets the target at a 15 angle to help deflect shrapnel downward, improving safety and viewing of impact marks.
• Lightweight & Compact: The design allows easy transport and one-person assembly or disassembly, useful for tactical training and mobile range work.
• Versatile Mounting: Works with a standard 2x4 board or the Highwild adjustable steel post for different mounting preferences.

Who It's For

The combo is ideal for recreational shooters, tactical trainers, and hunters who want a sturdy AR500 steel target that sets up quickly and stays put. It is especially useful for those who value a compact kit that one person can assemble and transport between range sessions.

Shooters who need an integrated electronic scoring system, adjustable height beyond a typical 2x4 mount, or who cannot use an angled mount should look elsewhere; this kit is focused on a simple, durable mechanical solution rather than advanced adjustability or accessories that are not included.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid build quality and rust-proof powder coat finish give long service life even with heavy use.
• Good value: the combo saves money compared to buying the stand and hanger separately.
• Easy one-person assembly and compact design make it convenient to transport and deploy.

Cons

• The kit does not include a 2x4 board, which must be supplied separately.
