I shot my kids rifle at some ar500 last weekend and had 2 failures. The bolt is ripping through the strap. Should I use fender washer to increase surface area?

I don't know what's going on. Fire hose, back of the target, 1/2" Grade 8 bolts, standard 1/2" washer. No trouble.

it sounds like your hole is too big It has gotten bigger since Biden took office. Guess I'll try a smaller hole and bigger washer. Can grade 8 withstand a direct hit? Now that I think about it, I don't recall the hardware still being attached. Maybe I had cheap bolts in there. Cheap...like that shot Judd took.

I had made one about 20 years ago hung it up with some 5/8 rebar Heated and bent into a hook needles to say its still hanging up and makes a good metallic bang when hit.
