    Wondering if any of you know the answer to this. I'm thinking about buying a few of these targets and mounting them on a horizontal 2x4 that is mounted on a vertical 2x4.

    When talking about steel, the rules state the following:

    2. Targets may be permanently mounted in a fashion that does not allow swing, providing that the target is angled downward at no less than 20 degrees nor greater than 45 degrees from the vertical. The frame material shall not be capable of deflecting a bullet.
    3. Commercial targets such as dueling trees, pepper poppers, and plate racks that are hinged are permitted providing that the hinges are protected from
    impact by a steel barrier in a manner that will deflect bullets downward.

    I was thinking that I could mount the horizontal 2x4 at a downward 20 degree angle and meet the requirements. Anyone know for sure? Is there an email address for AGC to ask this question? I saw email for president@ agc but I'm not sure emailing the president of the org is the right move here. Would love to know for sure before I buy or drive over there.

    In the past the RSO'sapproved your steel targets and hanging system. If in doubt I think I'd sketch up what I was planning to do and let one of them take a look.
