Need something to occupy my time on the weekends when it's to cold to mt bike.
So...how can turn this into something I can plink with 9mm and birdshot?
The back side is flat with no ridges so with a proper angle I don't think I would get bounce back. Yes/No? Thoughts?
Yes....I'm cheap--I'm putting my wife though school right now.

Use the existing holes and hang it from something. As long as it moves you shouldn't have a "bounce back" problem.

Get some wire and string it up on a tree.

I've used those in the past, they work but will crater badly. Eventually just got some real targets. lighter and sturdier.

fill the holes with RR spikes if you care. Can drill a hole through the spike for a cross pine to keep in place.

use lengths of chain and bolt to a couple RR spikes. lets you use the cheap bolts. some sturdy wire would work as well. I've found rope gets cut by splatter pretty fast.
