Quoted: I thinks its a great idea to bring Strat offerings for his hospitality and openess. I'll help build new targets if you like. I have angle steel and other stuff to help. We could always go buy spinner targets snd see how they fair against an M1....

I made all kinds of steel targets over the years, they are great for the standard pistols and 22lr but rifles either rip the targets up or deflect the rounds back at the shooter when using real rifle calibers, even had a guy injured from 12 buck shot coming back and going through his arm.
ALGOTUF 500B will stop even 50bmg AP ammo but if the target is angled it deflects the rounds, I made sone moving targets, both in the verticle and horizontle and both kinds send round back at us, I had a 30-30 round just miss my head once, cured me of steel targets fo rifles, unless the stands are steel and the moving part is wood that causes the round to penetrate instead of deflecting.
I would like to build a "merry go round" type where the weather vane like cross arms travel in a circle with wood targets sticking up about 5feet with a shoot and a no shoot target on each going by a window should be challenging and fun stage to shoot.
