Just finished building a new target setup

[dustyk70]

My wife bought a plasma cutter for my birthday (first real use). The center target is a 1/2" thick, 12"x 24". The two other targets are 5/8" thick, 8"x 10". I also added a couple other targets to the bottom . Looking forward to trying it out this weekend.
Any other ideas out there?

I know.... My shop is a mess. You just can't tell it until you see it in a pic.

How much to make one for sale?

 

[Ritten]

mmmmmmmmmmm............steel!! I've got a .338lm that will make some perfect hanging holes in those plates if you need anymore!

I think they'll be hit so much that water won't have time to settle on them, despite the weather outlook for this weekend!

Gotta love big iron.
What are you gonna shoot at it and how far you gonna be from it?

Probably everything you can imagine, from a safe distance... seriously....

What is considered a safe distance for a given round?
Are you depending on deflection for ricochet angle?
Is that a specific steel or just what you had laying around.

Steel bought just for this. Nothing special, but still 90$ worth just for the flat plate. Everything else I had laying around.

Safe distance for me where this will be shot is about 75yds, and the shooters are about 25ft above the target. I also angle the plates so the deflection of the rounds is down. I am not nor do I claim to be a deflection expert, but so far so good.
