New gong stand

[fortyshooter]

Vaquero.... do you get to shoot when your wife is home?
Nice variety of targets to shoot and I'm sure it will grow!

[Vaquero]

Oh yeah.
Just better warn her when I go out to do so.
Reminds me;

Several, several years ago one afternoon I said,
"I wanna try out a couple quick loads" "ok"she says.
Walk out with the 44 SBH, touch off a couple.
As I'm coming back in she's yelling "SHUT THE DAMN DOOR".
Laughing I said "the door was shut".

Then asked "What the Hell was that"
We've been together a Long time.

The four year old grandson loves to see Pop pop blow up the soda cans.
That's what he says.

Found a piece of chain, and yesterday while I was in town I got some eyebolts and another 4".
Got 'em hung up.
Going to move the portable stand over beside the barn where I can get some more distance.

[BigAl52]

Surprised you didnt snap a 44 while you was at the camera.

[Vaquero]

Have some 357's, and 45's though.

Im thinkin thats probably a good plan as markin up one of those while shes sleepin might cause her to mark you up

[Vaquero]

Right you are, so I opted for a shower.
I'll give 'em go tomorrow, probably move the portable, and
try a few longer shots.

That is a good looking solid stand.

[Vaquero]

That is a good looking solid stand.

Thanks, it should last, the legs are 3x3 angle iron, the top is 3x3.5".
The legs I drove about a foot into the ground.
Probably out last me.

Looks good Al.

[fortyshooter]

That looks great Al ! Does the splatter from the gong hits stick in the PVC?
Pontiac Bonneville...now that's a classic!! What year? Back in the grand ol' days you could get those with a 389 or 421 with 3 deuces and a 4 speed...a REAL Pontiac!

[BigAl52]

No trouble that way at all Forty. I have the plates hangin at the angle recommended by the company that I bought those targets from. So most of the hits are defected to the ground. Shooting7 targets great place to buy gongs from.
