Caldwell Strap Steel Target Hangers

The carriage bolt goes in the middle of your target not on the side as you have it. Also the square part of the carriage boot goes into your plate and the bolt comes out the back of the rubber strap so the nut goes on the rubber strap and away from the shooter You have it backwards. For the guy with the broken strap after 1 round. Learn to shoot first then you'll hit the plate and not the strap. Maybe use a paper target until your skills improve. It's a rubber strap meant to let the plate swing, it's not billet prof or meant to be: shot at, even a “close shots” as one guy claimed. Lol it looks like you hit it dead on. Cmon guys get rounds on target
