    Years ago back on Funcouver Island, we set up a range on the jobsite. So every time a shovel would get broken or a pitchfork a saw blade it would be sharpened and it was game on...those targets got moved around from site to site, recycle old tools sure was fun to have a break and a little fun well working.... Cheers from Vietnam

    Hey Ryan, you had mentioned shooting gongs. You can take old empty 5 gal propane tanks, cut off the bottoms and make hanging gongs with them. I know around my area, people are always given them away. Could add to your fun!

    FWIW, the sporting clays place near me has a stand with a roof over it like a little pavilion that keeps you out of the rain/snow and there is one of those propane heaters in it for when everything is freezing cold. I was surprised how comfortable that small heater made everything with no walls and zero insulation. I'd take that old wood stove you have in the tarp tool shed and repurpose it into heat for a new, "luxury" shooting platform. It is basically just a small, covered deck with a simple roof, and the wood stove set up at the back, behind you when you are facing the range. When it is chucking down the rain or snow or -5 outside, you can be both dry and reasonably warm. It makes shooting in lousy weather much nicer.

    I've been setting up my shooting range and the UA-cam algorithm showed me the way lol. My AR destroyed all the stands and mounts I had. Now I just use wire from political advertising signs. It breaks and I reset it.
    I built a square frame out of trees and the targets hang down in between the posts. I havent shot much 556 yet but I have shot 2-300 9mm. Its holding up well. I only use one wire on each target, the spall isn't that big of a deal. I like the single wire because the target swings a lot more freely and less predictably.
    It's been a long time since I've watched you. Looks like you're still Killin it! Keep it up!

    Some of my friends like to shoot their 30-30s, and to save money they reload, and cast lead bullets. The bullets are the most expensive part of reloading. They build small "sand boxes" under their targets, to reclaim the lead.

      Most ammo just drops in front by a few feet … it always surprises me that ammo doesn’t go flying off real far away … if the target has give or flex ability the ammo drops off the target close by … much safer then hard solid stable targets …. If you use high caliber ammunition with high velocity they do bounce off and ricochet further distances .

    I've done good steel targets hung up by chains and they break pretty quick! I'm going for the 2X4 stand directly behind the target with the angled spring hanger next. 9mm, 10mm, and 223/556 sprays a lot of debris so I don't want anything around the target.

    The cheapest ammo I know about is from Cheaper than Dirt. I bought some 9mm and you could see fire coming out the barrel with every shot. I think they used black powder or something close to it. They also have some special 22 rounds like they explode on impact. Don’t know if they still carry them. That was forty years ago I bought them. On the cheap stuff you will just have to clean your gun a lot more. Later

    Maybe you could use a cut piece of garden/rubber hose on your lag bolts to insulate the shock rather than the expensive Springs? It won’t last forever, but it would probably last a while and be easy to change particularly if you slice it up the side then duct tape it 🤷‍♂️

  • @Hexoutdoors
    @Hexoutdoors Рік тому

    Another cheap option for targets, go to your local bowling alley and ask about their unusable bowling pins. We use them at our farm and they hold up great against a .22. Just tie them up with some 550 cord. But 9mm, .40 pistol plinking ammo will tear them up faster.

    If a 30 30 is leaving a dent it's not good AR 500 steel. It's all about the heat treatments to harden the steel properly. The real brands probably hold up better. All the cheap steel targets I've purchased online only last for maybe 6 to 10 range trips with 223/556 rifle rounds. With 22 LR and 9mm you should be good for a long time!
