JMO...

But putting the chain attachment point at near center of the target doesn't seem like a great idea...

There are some merits to the post idea, but the post WILL get hit, at some point.

I've used steel, foldable sawhorses to hang our steel for years. They get shot...bang out the bullet holes best I can, and when they're done, make another. They're all sacrificial at some point.

i use a plastic sawhorse to hang my plate. works well for me. they're cheap (like 10 bucks) and take a decent beating. no problems with ricochets off it since its plastic the bullet just goes through. i use rope to hang the plate. cheaper than chain to replace if you shoot it and bullets wont bounce off it. might be the way the plate is angled, but i dont have a problem with the fragments cutting the rope either
