98Z5V Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 You come out here, and my Arizona Ninjas will manage to shoot the fuk out of the PVC. I think the PVC is bullet-magnetized or something... These guys will test it, that's for damn sure... My steel-framed target was fine at 100 yards, until Mike decided that he could shoot his 10mm pistol at 100 yards... The steel frame was full of holes after THAT range trip... <lmao>Don't MAKE me take pictures of the target frame, Mike. I'm just sayin'...
MikedaddyH Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 My brother always use to say I could fuuck up a wet dream!I also shot the chain off the steel.

I'm just sayin'...That's interesting...the club president went through the trouble of welding angle iron on the target stand uprights, to deflect bullets.Due to all the holes that appear mysteriously a couple of times a year.
392heminut Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 I also shot the chain off the steel.You know Mike, doing schit like that is like shooting pool. You gotta call the shot before you make it to have bragging rights! Otherwise it was just a fukkup!

I'm just sayin'...think it's more a projectile magnet, my old man build a PVC stand for our target we shot our recurve bows at, mind you I learned to shot in this target "instinctive" no pins no peep sights. His buddy comes over who is a pin shooter and explodes the thing first shot shooting my dads recurve......

I'm just sayin'...That is why the PVC is the base and the PVC upright is only about 10-11" The frame is 1x2" wood that is easily replaced. If I place it at 200 yards on our range you can't even see the PVC, it is behind an intermediate berm. I will take pictures, probably on Friday. I can see; however, how that nice, white, PVC swims into the sight picture and.......
EngrBob Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 OK, here is what it looks like. Less than a minute setup time. Still having an issue with having iPhone photos upload correctly with Windows 10. Only rotated 90-degrees this time.
MikedaddyH Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 So how long will that last with Tom and his band of Desert Ninja's ??!! All day ?
planeflyer21 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 So how long will that last with Tom and his band of Desert Ninja's ??!! All day ?Asks the Desert Ninja Squad 1 AND 2. lol
EngrBob Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 So how long will that last with Tom and his band of Desert Ninja's ??!! All day ?At our range there are some intermediate berms such that at either 100 or 200 yards you can't see the PVC from the bench area. I doubt if the furring strips will last, but they are easily replaced. I don't doubt that the ninjas, using subsonic rounds, can drop some over the berms and.......
98Z5V Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 Gotta toss a sandbag across the base, and that would be okay (wind). I think we could still shoot that amount of PVC, though. I'm just sayin'...

I'm just sayin'... The sandbags would be to protect the PVC from desert ninjas. I drilled holes in opposite corners for two 1/2" x 12" spikes that work for the wind.
Sisco Posted September 21, 2015 Report Posted September 21, 2015 My latest effort in this area. Our local range has an issue on its pistol range in that they set up 25 yard target holders, but they are anchored in concrete, and we always get people walking ahead of the firing line to shoot closer ( 10 yards) rendering the pistol range useless to anyone else while they are doing that. If you are practicing with a snub nose 38, you don't have much choice. I built a wheeled target holder I am donating. It uses chicken coop wire with spring loaded clothes pins to hold the target. I am making an extra one for my garage so when I get off in the boonies in my pick up, Icna create my own range in a likely, safe spot.
98Z5V Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 Chicken wire and clothes pins are the way to go for hanging targets. Seriously. I learned that way back in '09/'10, when I lived in VA. Awesome stuff.

Plus I can double purpose it on laundry day.
unforgiven Posted September 27, 2015 Report Posted September 27, 2015 Smart design brother Sisco,they use chicken wire here at DNR and plastic snow fence at Izzac Walton.Chicken fence is the better of the 2 IMO.Just my 2 mags.BTW DNR is throwing 2 mill @ Willow Slough and make a 200 yrd. pit and other extras [no sure of all the details] opens in May 2016.

John Goss the Asian Carp Czar, is ex Indiana DNR.
MONTANA308 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 We use a 1in tube frame we weld up and stretch a rubber mat across it. Use self tappers to attach rubber mat to steel. We use the mat out of a rock crusher conveyer. Or and old horse trailer mat would work. We have shot at the same target for three years now. It is self healing and you can put your targets up with a staple gun or tape. Also for you tiny group shooters. Try putting tin foil behind your targets and shoot a group and measure the group on the foil. We mess around with it every once and awhile.
planeflyer21 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Posted September 29, 2015 /\/\/\/\ Rubber works like nobody's business!A visitor at our range was using strips of reinforced rubber (cut from ore conveyor belt) to suspend his still hangers. Even after being shot multiple times, they were still just as functional as day 1.
MONTANA308 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 It's by far the best we've found I don't know how many thousand rounds have been put through that mat.
shepp Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Need to find some of that stuff.wonder if those drop in rubber truck mats would work, drive along the highway long enough you'll find one lol Edited October 11, 2015 by shepp
Sisco Posted October 11, 2015 Report Posted October 11, 2015 wonder if those drop in rubber truck mats would work, drive along the highway long enough you'll find one lolNot a bad idea, Shepp. I will keep my eyes open.
