    Shot Show 2015: Clay Pigeon Hangers

    Clay pigeons are one of the few reactive targets that many ranges will allow shooters to use. But, anyone who's ever tried to use them on a range knows that they can be nearly impossible to hang in a way that is acceptable to the club, that doesn't risks damaging the target stands. There is really no fast and easy way of hanging them where they don't fall off due to wind or get knocked off by pieces of other clay pigeons when they get hit.

    On media day I came across a company called Down Range Fab that makes some novel hangers that actually clip to the edge of the clay pigeon and hold them securely. They can be attached to target boards even one over top of the other, and the lower ones will not get knocked down when the ones above them get hit. They can be hung or even stuck in the ground to look like lolipops.

    They come in bags as small as 25 or in bulk (1000+).

    Simple, but a needed product imo

    I agree. Looks like a clever and simple solution. I'd be interested in a bag of those.

    I like the tree but I doubt very much they will allow it to be used at my range.

    Seen dozens of variations on these through the ages but not on a mass marketed or mass produced scale. Good luck to them as they should do well.

    Neat! ...and a very small exposed surface area so hopefully somewhat less likely for a stray shot to destroy the hanger/clip.

    Our sponsors need to bring these (clips) in. I'll take 2 bags for a start.
