Homemade Steel Target Help

[wiuprof]

Thumbs up for the base. Good use of the öff-cut". If you have easy access to the squares would it not be a simple exercise to hang them with one point up so no cutting would be involved. Weld on a hanger and you are good to go. Could use the points as a scope leveling guide as is done with the printed targets that feature the square diamond concept. Round looks good but for a rapid destruction of the mild steel I would be looking to minimise labour input.

I did that with an 8" square plate, drilled a hole in one corner and hung it up in my 50 yard target berm. It not only makes an excellent target, but is very useful for scope leveling (as suggested) and also bore sighting my rifles before confirming on paper at 50 and then 100 or 200 yards.





The two pepper poppers have a board keeping them up so as not to have to reset them. The falling plate rack is for rimfire only and I have 50 yards of parachute cord that stretches up to my driveway. Knock them down and yank them back up. The railroad tie backstop is only to protect my trees from taking a lot of lead. A buddy came out and back-filled a dirt mound/berm about 4 feet tall behind the ties.

The view of my yard just says "this guy's a shooter".
