An assembly for shock testing a specimen, the assembly including first and second opposing brackets and opposing lower and upper caps. The opposing brackets include lower and upper angled surfaces. The lower cap includes lower angled surfaces configured to engage the lower angled surfaces of the left and right brackets. The upper cap includes upper angled surfaces configured to engage the upper angled surfaces of the left and right brackets. The first and second brackets are configured to be drawn toward each other via fasteners, thereby wedging the lower and upper caps toward each other against the specimen.
