ShootingTargets7 - .22LR setup

I finished the 3/16" combo setup to the point where I could use it today. I still have to attach some legs to make it portable but the brackets won't be here until late next week and I didn't want to wait any longer. I set them up at 75'. The little 3" one isn't getting much paint knocked off yet, as I'm only whacking it about every 3rd shot.

I also got a 10" (1/4") gong for the Henry 357's and 4" and 6" gongs out of 3/8" for the AR15's. I'm still contemplating how I'm going to mount them but the .22's see a lot more use so they were priority.

Can't have to much steel to plink on! Great setup and challenge with the smaller targets. Still looking for my missing 3 inch that took a hard .357 hit with a 180 gr. Henry fired pug. It and chain gone!

I just put a second chain on that small 3" target as a good solid hit caused it to wrap around the 2x4. I can see how a 357 Mag would send it to the woods.
This sure beats all the walking back and forth every 3 shots to see how you're doing. I like them.

Nice! I’ve found they are as much fun to design and build as they are to shoot.

Nice set up. Watching the steel jump is a whole lot more fun than putting holes in paper. :D
