Modular Steel Target Systems for Ranges: The Smarter Way to Build a Better Shooting Experience

Whether you manage a public shooting range, private club, law enforcement training facility, or simply want the most versatile setup for your own property, modular steel target systems for ranges offer unmatched flexibility, durability, and value.

Instead of purchasing multiple dedicated target stands for every application, a modular system allows you to build, expand, and customize your range with interchangeable components. That’s exactly what MGM Targets designed with the MLS (Modular Locking System)—a revolutionary target platform that saves time, reduces maintenance, and delivers professional-grade performance.

Why Modular Steel Target Systems Are Becoming the Industry Standard

Modern shooting ranges demand equipment that can adapt to different shooters and training scenarios. One day you’re hosting recreational shooters, the next you’re setting up tactical drills or competitive stages.

A modular system makes it easy to:

• Change target sizes in minutes
• Reconfigure training layouts quickly
• Transport equipment with minimal effort
• Expand your range without replacing existing hardware
• Reduce storage space and setup time

For busy ranges, versatility means more shooters on the line and less time rebuilding stages.

The MGM Targets MLS Advantage

MGM Targets developed the MLS (Modular Locking System) to solve many of the frustrations that come with traditional steel target setups. The system combines rugged construction with an innovative locking design that securely holds targets in place, even during heavy rifle use. The unique 90-degree locking mechanism helps prevent targets from jumping off the hanger while remaining incredibly simple to install.

Every component is built using 3/8-inch HEXALLOY 550 steel, providing exceptional durability for rimfire, pistol, and centerfire rifle shooting while maintaining the legendary quality MGM Targets has delivered since 1994. The no-weld target design also helps preserve the strength of the AR550 plate while allowing targets to be reversed for different shooting applications.

Build the Range You Need

One of the biggest advantages of the MLS system is that it grows with your range.

Popular configurations include:

MLS 2 Target Package

The MLS 2 Target Package is an outstanding entry point for shooters who want maximum versatility in a compact footprint. Assembly takes less than 30 seconds without tools, and the same stand accepts numerous target sizes and shapes as your training needs evolve.

Perfect for:

• Private ranges
• Recreational shooting
• Steel Challenge practice
• USPSA and 3-Gun training

MLS 2×4 Package

The MLS 2×4 Package combines a simple 2×4 base with MGM’s innovative no-weld MLS cap and interchangeable steel targets. Setup takes only seconds, making it ideal for shooters who want a portable yet extremely durable target system. It’s equally at home during family range days, tactical drills, or competition practice.

MLS T-Post Systems

Already have T-posts on your property?

The MLS T-Post Hanger lets you convert existing infrastructure into a professional steel target range with minimal investment. Simply attach the hanger and swap target plates as your course of fire changes.

Designed for Every Type of Shooter

The beauty of modular steel target systems is their adaptability.

A single range can quickly transform for:

• Recreational target shooting
• Pistol practice
• Rifle zero confirmation
• Long-range training
• Law enforcement qualification
• Competition practice
• Youth shooting events
• Family range days

Rather than owning multiple dedicated target systems, one modular platform handles them all.

Faster Setup Means More Shooting

Nobody enjoys spending an hour assembling targets before pulling the trigger.

The MGM MLS system was engineered for rapid deployment. Most configurations can be assembled in well under two minutes, with several setups taking less than 30 seconds. When the shooting is finished, everything breaks down into compact components that are easy to transport and store.

That means more time shooting and less time working.

Built for Years of Heavy Use

Professional ranges demand equipment that withstands thousands of impacts.

The MLS system delivers:

• Heavy-duty AR550 construction
• Minimal maintenance
• Replaceable target options
• Excellent bullet energy management
• Long service life
• Components designed for repeated setup and transport

For commercial ranges, clubs, and training organizations, that translates into a lower cost of ownership over time.
