Had some swingers made up
I had some swingers made up. I just need to find the time to get to PA to establish some come ups and practice.

It’s the closest thing I’ve come to shooting my BPCR in a couple of months.

I scaled these up on plywood from drawings I found online. [Image: 2f80832282e79ead913ed7514e806652.jpg]

Then gave them to a welding shop and presto!

I need to get some paint on them.

Nice job on the templates. What material did you have the targets cut out of.

Thanks.

It’s 1/2” AR 500 steel plate.

Good deal, now you can shoot at those with just about any cartridge and not have to go weld up bullet holes afterward.

I had some steel ones made for .22BPCR and they now belong to my wife. I get to respray them after she's done.

Don, Looks like Nov at Smithmoor will be the next time we can get up there.

Hanz, I can't imagine you ever regretting having those targets made - you put an occasional shooter or a new shooter on them and they will be addicted. Plus they'll last forever.

HAhahahahaha! That's funny.

I have to ask for some fire hose to hang them with. They should be a lot of fun for sure.

Find a farmer that has some worn out round baler belts to hang those on.

I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks Don. Around here, there’s a lot more fire departments than farmers.
