Steel targets for 1000 yards

[mel]

I saw this a long time ago. The individual used worn out disc harrow blades (about 16 or 18" when worn), to the hangers he attached a short piece of pipe sufficient to hold the staff on a small triangular flag. The kind that surveyors use to mark the "track" through the boonies. When the plates were hit the impact caused the flag to wave furiously. No need to hear the ping to verify the hit.

On further thought, in today's throw-away society, maybe surveyors do not use the small red triangular flags like the ones I saw as a kid. Oh well, as Gunny Tom Highway said in "Heartbreak Ridge", "Adapt, Improvise, Overcome".

dang ima have to use that flag idea , at 1200 yards it gets real hard to hear the hit , though u can deff see it moving , ours get tossed out at 19-20 inches i have a huge pile of them
ive found the old wore out dirtbike chain i use to hang them lets them move pretty good even with light impacts
