    I bought some ubolt from Walmart to hang off the academy racks that you can pound in. But the Walmart plate I have has taken a stupid amount of rounds so they're durable.

    Call up Foley custom guns too. I bought my human Silhouette targets there. I think he was making them at some point. Got them for way cheaper than online. He used to have good prices also on the hangers. I got those there too

    I bought several AR500 targets from shootingtargets7. They have worked very well.they often have sales so you can get them at half decent prices.

    I bought 5 x silhouette from Wideners when they had them a couple of years ago. I've beaten TF out of them with M855, M80, 762x54R Silver tips, and everything in between - I've only used 2 plates so far and they are still useable.

    https://shootsteel.com/ also has great targets.

    Make sure that can fasten|bolt to the rebar so it don't spin on ya.
    Drill an oversized hole and weld a nut over it on the back. Bolt to rebar.
