Gun range target

[Dell]

Let's see yer homebrew targets here

NO ! ...not the tv or beer bottles U sucked down

decided to whip something up
that was better then a paper target.

designed primarily for .22
as it's only 1/4" mild steel plate.
tho' I'll likely shoot it with the 30/30
at least once, just to see what happens

will break down easy, lay flat
'bout 4' wide and 20" tall to the horizontal rod.

^ I've yet to complete the upper rod mounts (these pics)
rod ends will be secured using collars (drill depth stops)

guess I'll need test it... see if it can handle some abuse :dunno:

nicely done. You should also build a vertical axis "dueling" one. Those are a ton of fun.


I've built some 1" PVC target frames for cardboard backers that I can take apart easily. I just hammer a couple of rebars in the ground and slip the uprights around those. Best not to hit the frame though. Although the one time somebody (not me of course, ) did, it didn't shatter, just made a hole IIRC.

It looks like it will stand up to .22 and pistol loads, but a rifle hit will make a short life of it in my experience.

My father in law just gave me a huge steel plate to make into targets for us. I'll have to post some pictures when I get around to actually chopping it up into something useful.

that sounds like good times...
I may build one of those next.

Where are you finding .22 ammo to shoot!?
