I managed to track down a Midway Table Tennis and it is on the way to me now. I wanted to get the materials I would need to mount it properly. Below is a picture the seller sent me of the mounting bracket on the back.

Those of you who have mounted these games to a wall before, what is the best way to go about doing it? Keeping in mind I have a fairly empty will that it will go on and there are plenty of studs in the wall I can use to mount to.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a Trapshoot Classic. Those suckers are heavy. And the studs were not where I wanted them to be in order to position it where I wanted.

So I ended up screwing a board to the wall and securing it to the studs. A couple people could hang from that board without it coming loose. Then I attached hooks to the board and hung the game from the hooks.

Thanks for the quick reply! What kind of board did you use?

I have several wall games. I use hooks from the ceiling joints with chain and for extra security, I stained
up a piece of 1x2 oak strip of wood the length of the game under the game and screwed it into the studs so the Trapshoot game sits on the oak strip.
