My continuing saga on trying to get "Make it Ring" targets to process my order!!
Following last Thursday's call which was the 3rd time...the guy told me he was just writing up my shipping label and had all my parts together
and should be shipped that Friday. Gave him my email so he could send me a tracking number and invoice.

Here it is Tuesday afternoon and I called again and got somebody else on the phone and he says doesn't look like the order was processed.
What the hell is with these guys???? Supposed to call me back. Never seen anything like this!

The steel is there they just have to process my payment and put it in a dam box and ship!!!!!

Just may have to do something else as I never thought getting the steel targets would be a problem.
I had placed an order with them for the steel buffalo target and got it in about 2 wks. no issues.

Wish my foot could fit in the phone line!!!!

Make it Ring Targets a part of Harness Machine and Fab. Frankfort Indiana.

Any folks here live near there?

They are clearly having problems that sadly includes lying to repeat customers. If they process your payment, you may not get the targets anyway. I hope you paid by credit card so you have some protection.

They never processed it!! I done give them the order 3 times and never a call or email back if any issues or confirmation.
Wish I lived closer...be worth the drive! I hate jerks but this was the only place that had that cowboy style targets supposedly ready to go.
Everyone else just has the same over priced basic round or rectangle targets...very few with maybe couple western style target choices.
What I want would be some custom order adding delay and cost. Well I am the delay part now.
My stuff was right off the shelf according to their website.

Yeah I had no trouble when I ordered the recent buffalo target. Talked to the guy and he burned me one with no hang holes so I could weld
the feet on it. This order is like night and day with no regards as to what gets done for the customer.

Just called Custom Metal Products since they have a few items close to what I need and left a message. Seems they are in the middle of moving
their operation to a larger building. Little hope there of getting anything soon!!

Screw it I'll just hang cans on the darn thing!!! Might be worth a look a investing in a burning machine setup and get in the business myself.
Funny thing when you read "About Us" on the Make It Ring site that's what those jokers did. Don't believe that cute country picture you see either....BS.

Yes if it is the type machine used to cut hard AR 500 steel without getting it to soft along edges.

Working now with another company.

Thanks for the offer Cofisher!

I found the business card from a local guy I had bought a target from while at a gun show a year or two ago and called him.
Sent him the pics. of what I needed and this morning he gave me same pricing which is a good deal. He is going right to work on it and should
have them soon. Can't wait to get this new range project up and running!

Yes it has been an interesting ordeal begging somebody to place my order! I think the problem is a Machine and fabricating company getting into the target business as a sideline. When their main business gets busy they just kick the little guy to the side as far as a small target order.
However it might bite them in the butt down the road when the main business slows down again!

Have you paid for that elusive .45 Colt High Wall?

Great news! Just got an email my targets have been shipped! Great fast service from Hunter Moon Targets.
He had to make them from my pictures.
