Steel Targets

[KahrMan]

So I was walking around the NWTF Sport Show on Saturday.  A company called Challenge Targets had a booth set up with a lot of their products.  They had these 8" auto-reset round plates that mount onto a 4x4.  You can either use the spring with them, so they auto reset, or take it out and they become just a knock over plate.  They were selling a kit so you got three 8" plates with a hanging gong and brackets so you can make a saw horse to hold everything up.  Seemed kinda cool so I ordered a kit.  Now I just have to wait for them to come in so I can go shoot some steel instead of paper.

I like those, let us know how the attaching points hold up.  I just ordered some hangers to hang plates between t-posts, they are fairly easy to setup except the t-posts which will stay put.

Nice! I was at NWTF on Friday. Spent too much money (says the wife).

 

Those will be fun!

I like those t-post hangers.

I hung mine on a old metal clothesline T post...I cut up some pieces of old dog chain I had laying around for the hangers..

Excuse the pic, just walked out back and snapped it with my pistol light for the light lol

Finally found time to try out my new steel targets after a little turkey hunting. 

Hearing the ding is a lot more satisfying than punching holes in paper.

I like the reset speed of the target. I thought they would snap back up, but it almost makes it look like a machine is pushing them back up. How much were they?

The set of three auto reset gongs runs $200.  I bought them at the NWTF convention when they were running a special.  If you look closely you can see two straps hanging down from he 4x4.  There is another gong that hangs there but I have not put it on yet.
