Got to show off my new target for pistols.

[reade]

I built this from some scrap I had laying around. It hangs at an angle to deflect the shots down. Measures 16 wide and 27 tall. What do you think? Now to get it out to the range.

That should do it .. but may not fit into my geo metro.

I hope thats not representing a child in a swing set

Looks good, maybe just a tad over built for my taste

Nope, just a life sized adult. I've been teaching my family to shoot and have my own range so mobility isn't an issue.

Looks nice man, good call on the thicker tubing for the frame, a couple thousand rounds from now you will be glad you "over built" it. Is that just mild steel plate?

I think your idea of scrap and mine are two totally different things. It looks good.

The tubes are actually down hole pump barrels given to me by a local oil field supply. I'm not sure the grade of the plate. It's 5/8" thick so I feel it's ok for 9mm. I did go for a 20 degree tip so the splatter will go down. I have a couple of other steel targets made out of 1/2" and haven't had an issue with them at well over 1000 rounds. I do not intend on shooting any of them with a rifle.

I'll pm you the address where you can deliver it......

 

[Biggsly]

Nice..

I really miss having my own range!
At 5/8" thick I'm betting that 5.56 would show minimal if any damage.
