Modular Locking System Steel Targets: One System, Endless Shooting Possibilities

When versatility matters as much as durability, modular locking system steel targets offer one of the smartest investments a shooter can make. Instead of buying separate target stands for every discipline, a modular system allows you to swap target plates, change mounting options, and build the exact setup you need for recreational shooting, competition, hunting practice, or professional training.

The MLS (Modular Locking System) from MGM Targets was engineered to solve the limitations of traditional steel target stands. With interchangeable components, quick setup, and a patented locking design, the MLS platform gives shooters the flexibility to build countless target configurations using one rugged system.

What Makes the MLS Different?

Unlike conventional hanging targets that can bounce off their hooks after repeated impacts, the MGM Modular Locking System uses an innovative locking design that securely holds the target in place.

The target is installed by placing it on the hanger approximately 90 degrees from vertical and rotating it into its locked position. Once installed, it stays securely attached—even during heavy rifle use—while remaining easy to remove when it’s time to change targets.

The result is a target system that’s:

  • Fast to assemble
  • Secure during shooting
  • Easy to transport
  • Simple to expand
  • Built for years of hard use

One System for Every Type of Shooter

One of the greatest advantages of modular locking system steel targets is their incredible versatility.

Whether you’re:

  • Training for USPSA or 3-Gun
  • Preparing for hunting season
  • Practicing precision rifle shooting
  • Teaching new shooters
  • Building a backyard range
  • Managing a commercial shooting facility

…the MLS platform allows you to swap target shapes, sizes, and mounting systems in minutes instead of purchasing entirely new target stands.

MLS T-Post Package

For shooters who want the fastest possible setup, the MLS T-Post Package is a customer favorite.

Using a standard T-post as the support, this package installs quickly and provides a stable platform for a wide variety of interchangeable steel targets.

Benefits include:

  • Fast installation
  • Minimal equipment required
  • Easy transportation
  • Compatible with numerous MLS target plates
  • Ideal for hunting property or recreational shooting

It’s a great choice for shooters who want professional-grade steel targets without hauling bulky stands.

MLS 2×4 Package

The MLS 2×4 Package combines the flexibility of the MLS system with the affordability of replaceable lumber uprights.

Features include:

  • Heavy-duty steel base
  • Replaceable 2×4 upright
  • Secure MLS locking cap
  • Quick assembly
  • Excellent stability

If a stray round damages the wooden upright, simply replace the 2×4 instead of replacing an expensive steel stand.

That means lower maintenance costs and more time shooting.

MLS 2 Target Package

Looking for maximum portability?

The MLS 2 Target Package delivers a compact shooting system that sets up in seconds while offering two reactive steel targets on one stand.

Popular with recreational shooters, Rimfire Challenge competitors, and training instructors, this package provides:

  • Lightweight construction
  • Tool-free assembly
  • Two interchangeable steel targets
  • Compact storage
  • Outstanding value

Its portable design makes it easy to throw in the truck and head to the range whenever the opportunity arises.

Endless Target Options

One reason shooters love the MLS platform is the enormous variety of compatible target plates.

Choose from:

  • IPSC silhouettes
  • Hex plates
  • Round gongs
  • Animal silhouettes
  • Big game targets
  • Small game targets
  • Fun novelty shapes
  • Plate racks
  • Specialty competition targets

Because every target uses the same locking system, expanding your collection is as simple as adding another plate—not buying another complete stand.

Built from Premium HEXALLOY® 550 Steel

Every MLS target plate is manufactured from 3/8-inch HEXALLOY 550 hardened steel, providing exceptional durability for rimfire, pistol, and centerfire rifle shooting when used at recommended distances.

An additional advantage of the MLS design is that there are no welds on the target plate itself. Welding can weaken hardened target steel, so the modular locking system preserves the plate’s strength while allowing shooters to easily reverse the target if they dedicate one side to pistol use and the other to rifle use.

Expand Your Range Without Starting Over

Traditional target systems often require purchasing an entirely new stand every time you want to try a different target.

With the MLS platform, one mounting system supports dozens of interchangeable targets.

That means:

  • Lower long-term cost
  • Less storage space
  • Faster setup
  • Easier transportation
  • Unlimited customization

Whether you’re building a backyard range or outfitting a professional training facility, the MLS system grows right alongside your shooting needs.
