New swinging plate target....

A bit too cold for me to shoot lately so took stuff I had laying around and made another swinging plate target. Plates are 16 12 and 8 inch 3/8th AR500 I already had. Can mix it up with other sizes too.
It breaks down so I can haul it down to the range and hope to do that this week. Have a few warmer days coming.

Liking that forty. Stout! Waiting on future range report. Only shooting I've done lately is a bit of trap and skeet. Not very good at skeet.

Hmmm.... interesting set up. May have to copy that. We have a two foot gong at 100 yards - wooden frame. I bet there’s 10 pounds of lead in the legs of the frame it’s sitting in. We’re waiting on bragging rights for the person who takes the shot that “breaks” the stand and “kills” the target.

Looks good Forty. Those 45 cals should slap those around.

Today is the best day out of the next several so going to ring some steel and looking at this project gave me another idea with something I have down there.

Very nice, I wish I could have this! Where I am (Long Island, NY) they don't let us have any fun.
