My two sided targets

[Septicdeath]

Part of my range set up are some two sided targets, cast iron skillets.

One side is iron. But is you turn around the stand, on the opposite side they are filled with modeling clay. For a different effect.

Ok that’s pretty ingenious

How’s the sound hitting the steel side?

How’s the sound hitting the steel side?

It makes sound shooting the clay side. A muffled ping. But not much sound on the iron side.but you can tell when you hit them. Impact and movement.

That’s an excellent idea. My steel plates are starting to ring with the Diana’s pounding a little harder. Crow

The skillets are great!! I hung mine with carabiners in front of an old helium tank at 92 yards out. Painted yellow to contrast the grass/trees cause my friend has skillets at his range but painted green and they kinda get lost in the woods.

Group right side of the leaf is 16 shots (the 3 went high off the skillet) from me with my Avenger just laying in a tripod 18.13 JSB doing 876 fps. 6.41 dots down at 16x zoom. Forgot how to count dots and those 3 went high. Lol

Very noticeable difference hitting the skillet vs the hollow helium tank. Ping!!! Lol

Now you've got me wanting to see what the clay is like! Per Chairgun, I will have half the fpe at 92 yards vs muzzle. Would be cool to shoot it at 30 yards then see what the impact is like at 92.

Thanks for the idea!

this idea is great , a back yard /non permanent range and also quiet on the putty side . bullseye targets could be taped to it and it is a backstop/target all in one . basement target ?
City dwellers rejoice !!

Hmmm.. i hung a potgong and that would hold derper clay to catch pellets for expansion tests.. personly i like the loud report sound from steal arcade style phtttt- ding! Or frygongs phttttt - tunk!. Lol

 

[Simplemann]
