AR500 Armored T-Post
Our AR500 Armored T-Post is purpose built to offer a better long term solution versus standard fence T-Posts. Users can expect a durable, stable, and effective solution that will outlive and outlast ANY standard T-Post on the market. Precisely manufactured for performance, capability, and unique functionality. Overall length is 60″, so installing the post 12″ into the ground leaves 48″ of post exposed for target mounting.
Not your Typical T-Post
Our AR500 Armored T-Post is not your typical T-Post. T-Posts that are purchased at a hardware or farm supply store are made from very soft, very weak mild steel. While they are inexpensive up front, they need replaced often. If your range is a higher volume range, you will need to replace standard T-Posts on a weekly basis. Over time, this crushes your overhead, ties up your team, and generally makes a professional facility look sub-par. The AR500 Armored T-Post solves that issue for good.
Structurally sound, meticulously crafted.
The assembly is multiple pieces of AR500 steel that interlocks via tabs on the spine. We then stitch weld the entire assembly strategically for strength and rigidity. Welds are spaced properly to avoid heat warping, and the wire and welding method is completed in a specialized manner that results in welds that will resist cracking and failure. The spine is welded left and right, and along the rear. This means that there is not only strength from multiple sides, but the interlocking nature of the post keeps the loads from directly flexing the welds. Manufacturing these posts excellently is a tedious process, but the results speak for themselves.
Keeping your Range Presentable
When there are targets falling over downrange, it leaves a bad impression on whoever is shooting. Whether you are a professional range, or you just have some land to shoot on, proper range maintenance and presentation is important. Targets that are falling over or posts that are damaged can be a safety risk. The AR500 Armored T-Post removes the risk and creates a planted system that is extremely capable.
Multi-Use Capable
Do not be mistaken: This is not just “another T-Post”. We cut the main body of the post out of Swedish AR500 material that is 1/4″ thick. We use a small piece of 10GA mild steel at the top to maintain standard T-Post dimensions. The body and spine are thicker and wider than your standard 1.25 pound / foot T-Posts. This creates more engagement with the earth, resulting in more rigidity and better stability. Further, the spine of the T-Post features sets of two holes.
These holes allow you to mount our Front Mount T-Post Bracket or our A-DAP Front Mount Bracket. This effectively makes it possible to run multiple target plates up the spine. Run an Exodus AR550 C Zone in the middle and an AR550 reduced C Zone up top. Or run your own version of a vertical “know your limits” style target by getting multiple Genesis AR500 Gongs. The versatility is endless.
Simple Set up
The AR500 Armored T-Post was built for hard, high volume use. It will stand the test of time. Simply grab your T-Post Driver and drive the post into the ground at LEAST 12″. Then install either our Genesis T-Post Bracket, Heavy Duty T-Post Bracket, Middle Mount T-Post Bracket, A-DAP T-Post Bracket, or our A-DAP Middle Mount Bracket to your post. Using this T-Post keeps your range free of bases, which makes mowing safer and easier as well. Further, you can “sprinkle” targets all across your range, creating exciting arrays of target layouts. Exciting ranges = more members. More members means better revenue and profitability. Stop gambling with “less than” targets. Stock running TA Targets.
