I made one batch of these to see how this goes. (currently 30 available) I am already seeing all this takes longer and is more work than I expected so bare with me and I try and figure things out.
I started with what I think will be a universal target. A slightly concave 12" square designed to be hung from belt/hose. Because of how they are cut out of the sheet they are actually more like 11.5" across at the edges and 11.125 across the middle. The way I made them I feel helps to center on the plate, it is also designed to index the target stencil.
Plates will come bare, cleaned up and ready to paint
If you want to hang them from chain I can provide chain and bolts to do so at additional cost.
These are plasma cut on a machine with a water table. They have very little heat effected zone but the heat zone will be bigger than a laser or waterjet machine and they are not as precision. They also are far cheaper than what you will pay for laser or waterjet targets and this is the tradeoff. I personally think paying double for a laser or waterjet gong, especially in 1/2", is not gaining you much of anything
I have special pricing for NWFA members.
A bare plate is $40
A plate with bolts, two 20" chunks of fire hose and carriage bolts and back plates set up ready to hang is $60
A set of leg brackets for 1" pipe made from 3/8" plate $30 Made from 1/4" plate $22
Target stencil which will work with any targets or simply to spray a target on wood, cardboard or what ever. Made from 16 GA steel $27
Local pickup in Twin Falls Idaho
I designed this stuff so it would ship in a medium flat rate box. It will cost $15 per flat rate box to ship. I suspect several targets and a set of leg brackets will go in a single box.
I am also willing and able to do custom targets, stands or anything else you might dream up.
I might add other thicknesses, shapes and things if these go well but unless I sell a fair number, this run might be it. I have these advertised locally at about 15-25% higher prices, The price I am offering to members here leaves very little profit.
