An idea for a target

[peterk123]

I've been meaning to do this for a while because glassing paper at 600 meters gets tough. Bent up some wire and we are good to go. Should be fun as long as we don't hit the wire

I've hung skeet on simple strapping and purpose built rebar for close up shotgun work along a trail.

I used steel leaders to hang connected to wooden cloths pins
Interesting on a windy day

That's clever! Y'know, I have sawhorse brackets just like those, except mine didn't come with the extra vent hole.

his windage was on point. The elevation was ...... just a bit outside..... But hey, 600 meters. IMHO - that's no joke.

Based on his netflix habit he will take 2

at 600 meters

and after 5 shots to walk 600 that way, and then 600 back to reset 5 plates? hmm. better hang the steel, so it would swing after a hit - you will see that quite well.

Speed hole you mean.

 

[Fixxah]

Nice.

I had a similar idea, but for .22s at 50y. I drilled 1" deep holes into a saw horse's cross bar and bought a bag of tootsie pops to stand up in the holes. Great biodegradable reactive targets.

that is the original purpose of this stand. Shooting lollipops at 75 ya with the 22

Ah, yes, the Swedish version.

I love reactive targets but replacing them after every hit is a lot of walking. How about hanging steel discs?

It also has a steel gong hanging off a belt on the middle.

Meters?

Now I understand why Netflix recommends all the gay shows to you.

We use freedom units here.

I have clay holders that I use too.

Shooting them with a 22, we always get 2+ shots per clay. It's usually 3 shots on each clay.

When you hit the middle the middle just pops out and leave the donut. Then if you hit the top of the ring, it leaves the bottom part for a follow up shot.
Here's a pic with all the middles hit first.
This is how I usually end the session with my son.

Please ignore that I had these clay holders mounted backwards in this pic. That's been fixed, and that little red tab you see is now on the back side of the 2x4.

Maybe I’m lazy but 600 meter targets

Yea I’m not walking out there every 5 shots

If you can hit five 4 inch targets at 600 meters with five shots then might as well call it a day. You're not getting any better after that.

 

[EMTDAD]

the tools at my club get bent if you have clays on the rifle range..

Can we incorporate that into a steel challenge stage?

Rules is rules and the tools will get exercised if you even bend them !! It's their friggen reason for liven !!

I've done that a couple of different ways, either from metal hangers or repurposed firehose.

I think so.

 

[cockpitbob]

I think so.

I can't wait to see how the scoring is worded in the rules

I used piano wire to hang a steel a few years ago. My son's friend who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat managed to sever the wire on his first mag.

We would run it as an outlaw match or a side match. You break it to make it count.
