show off your steel targets

[plumberfishes]

I saw where some one had made a batch of old leaf springs into targets, and another guy had an old flywheel set up for a target..... so I thought how about a thread just for showing off targets. I have 3 that go up with us every time we go shooting,
The fist and oldest,,, with well over 2000 rounds in on and through.
The newest rifle, 24" 100 yard gong.
And my favorite toy , we call it "the bells" each plate rings just a bit different.

My son built this several years back when he was in school. Got an A+ on it...

plumberfishes your targets look very dangerous. Those deep dimples will become very dangerous over time, use proper steels.

the only "deep dimples " are in the ar400 and they are from my 17y/o shooting them too close with a 30/30.... it was an error that was corrected as for the mild steel I don't worry much about ricochets at 50 yards, if it has enough to bounce back that far it kinda just seems to go on through.

so what does one of those larue's cost?,,,, nice looking target.

It was pricey, $400.00 + pricey but I figure I'll be shooting it the rest of my life so money well spent. Can be shot with everything except .50BMG.

Dang seems like I am in the wrong business I should start building Targets at my Job.

Actually I just may, had a couple elk cut on the burn table but now I requested some mickey mouse heads and plan on welding them to some tube to make a spinning target.

Will post pics when I get them.

I made some steel targets out of leaf springs. Amazing how well the spring steel holds up to handgun rounds even the Desert Eagle .50 cal.
May God bless us all,
