I saw last January that Sleepy717 manufactures a DAMN fine metal gong target, but I don't think he does it commerially/regularly... I don't know any full-time manufacturers of such things.

Beerjager & I have been collecting steel plate and trying to come up with ideas. I have a welder, torch set and chop saw. Maybe the three of need to hook up and start cutting and welding up some stuff. Let me know.

I saw some target stands that Fritz made out of re-bar... looked pretty simple. They use 1 gallon jugs as the target. They were designed as shotgun targets, but could probably be adapted.

I have the steel plates in storage and the heavy duty bases made up. Just need to get off my ass and finalize them and get em' welded up. Me and Sleepy717 have been planning to make a half dozen pistol "knock" down type poppers to train on. Adam give Sleepy or me a call- |

Paul the mgr. at Del-Tone Luth Gun Club sent out a renewal notice with respect to getting metal reactive targets, but I do not believe they are installed.

Ok so I am a little late updating the post. And there was no ricochets.
 Targets worked out great. I had 2 of the silouttes and put abput 3-4K round into them on sunday. Most was FMJ .223, but also some 30-06, 7mm and assorted handgun and 22 rounds. The target face itself looks almost new. The hanger braket took some hits, but held up very well. I purchased the targets from Law Enforcement targets on a recomendation from a fellow board member. Great bunch of guys. Very helpful, and they have a bunch of targets in stock ranging from steel, paper and 3D torso targets. Sorry, but no pics. I have been having issues with my digital camera and need to get a new battery for it. Works fine around the house, but the cold kills the battery quick! |
