Target Stands

[HBARleatherneck]

those are a lot more resilient than the ones that I made, nice work. How much do the targets run you and how long do they last?

EDIT: This feels like a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyways...

When shooting steel, do you need to worry about ricochets or does the steel and lead absorb the impact and drop them down?

when hung, the targets move back when hit. the bullet splatters and falls in an arc, shaped like an upside ice cream cone to the ground almost directly under the target.

the targets were for sale here, but are all gone. they should last for a very very long time, if you dont shoot steel core or 5 feet away.
they were $25 for 6x5 $35 for 8x8 and $65 for 12x12. 3/8""AR500

i decided if someone wanted to buy a stand but not make one. I would make 5/8" stands for $35.

Those look pretty nice. I'm tired of shredding targets - it's hard to find a good portable target that will hold up to the abuse.

Nice use of what looks to be tow straps... I never thought of that. I use conveyor belt cut into strips.

Picked up my stands today, they're great! Thanks again.

Thank you.

And now I know what Big Wall means.




the ratchet straps worked great. only one piece got hit, and it didnt do much and still holds strong with the other fibers in the strap.
