Overview
The Rogue Bolt-Together Wall Ball Target is a heavy-duty steel plate designed for precision wall ball training. Originally adapted from targets used in CrossFit Regionals competitions, this 16-inch diameter plate provides a clear, durable target that mounts directly to your rig or rack. It is an ideal solution for home gyms and affiliates looking to save wall space and prevent the scuffing and damage associated with throwing medicine balls against painted drywall or wood.

Performance Benefits
Wall Preservation: By providing a dedicated steel landing surface, this target prevents the inevitable wear, tear, and black scuff marks that occur when medicine balls strike gym walls.
Accuracy Training: The included crosshair decal provides a distinct focal point, helping athletes develop more consistent throwing mechanics and vertical accuracy.
Space Optimization: Allows for wall ball stations to be integrated into the center of a room or on a freestanding rig where wall space may not be available.
Stability: The heavy-gauge steel construction ensures the target does not rattle or flex upon impact, providing a consistent "thud" and predictable ball return.
Maintenance and Care
Sticker Replacement: The crosshair target is a vinyl sticker and is considered a wear-and-tear item. Over time, high-volume use may cause it to peel or fade. If this occurs, a replacement can be fashioned from vinyl tape or outdoor-grade decals.
Hardware Check: Periodically verify that the 5/8" bolts remain tight. The repeated impact of a 20lb or 30lb medicine ball can cause vibration that may loosen hardware over time.
Surface Cleaning: Wipe the steel plate with a damp cloth to remove chalk and dust. If the black powder coat is chipped, apply a small amount of black touch-up paint to prevent surface oxidation.
Installation Tip: When applying the crosshair sticker, ensure the plate surface is clean and dry. To avoid air bubbles over the bolt heads, some users choose to trim the sticker or apply it around the hardware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I reach a 10-foot target height on my standard RML rack? A: Most standard Rogue Monster Lite (RML) racks are 90 inches (7.5 feet) tall. To reach a 10-foot competition target height, you typically need a 9-foot or taller upright, as the target center only extends 12" above the top of the post.
Q: Will this fit my Monster Series (1" hole) rack? A: No. This version uses 5/8" hardware for Infinity and Monster Lite. You must purchase the "Monster" specific version of this target for 1" hole compatibility.
Q: Is it loud when the ball hits the target? A: Most users find the sound to be a dull "thud" that is not significantly louder than hitting a wall. However, ensure all mounting bolts are tight to prevent any metallic rattling.
Q: Can I mount this to a wall? A: This target is designed for rack-mounting. While it could be modified for a wall, it is intended to bolt through the 5/8" holes of a Rogue upright or crossmember.
