I am looking to set up alittle plinking gallery with different types of targets at different elevations and distance like hickok45.


My question is what have yall used and where did you purchase them or how did you make them.

So far i have a Do all blast back and i am having a dueling tree made but after that i have drawn a blank.

These will mostly be used for  22cal - 45acp but would like to have one or 2 that could handle 556 - 308.

I've bought all of mine from Big Dog Steel.







If you're not in a hurry, he usually has a group buy on snipershide a couple of times per year.

Pepper poppers

caliber will be determined by how thick your steel is.

I'm pretty sure that .222 will tear up just as much as 5.56.

There is a site sponsor or somebody on here that was selling steel targets sized for flat rate boxes. I can't remember who it was though.

Wideners.com has steel target plates, reasonable.

Link? All I see is the Birchwood Casey "world of targets" stuff or paper.



ETA: I searched for "Target Plates" and found them.

OK, I left a few parts off the list when I posted because I was doing it from memory

Here
Overall popper




One side of bottom of popper




Other side of bottom of popper



Crude but good enough to make something that'll fall over when hit.

Champion makes self-sealing targets (birds, groundhog) that work really well with .22 rimfire.  Around $15 at Walmart.
