Hey that's me. :twisted: I have the good stuff to drink, and the bad stuff to shoot!

[mr_will]

ill be there, hopefully with a new upper for my ar

[Gman]

I'm going to try to be at this one. I'll bring my own Coke products to drink.

...unless I can replace them with some tasty Livewire.

Does anyone know where I can find a rifle target stand in a hurry without breaking the bank?

[mr_will]

Coke is evil and the work of the devil! First he made virus's, then he made liberals, then he made coke. STAY AWAY FROM THE COKE!

I'll bring some livewire. :mrgreen:

I got this quote from a guy on silencertests.com who was recomending rifle targets.

Try Spring steel. The kind used in leaf springs in pick up trucks or better yet dump trucks or school busses. I found a place that specializes in fixing the suspension on heavy trucks and they let me have a bunch of their scrap.

I have shot 30.06 at it and it does not scratch the metal. 223 leaves a very small crater maybe a few thousandths deep. Unfortunately, it can not be welded but for hillbilly wind chimes it would work great.

Hillbilly wind chimes refer to steel targets hanging from chains. I would like to give it a try, does anyone have some old leaf springs?

Dang MP5, that sounds real good. I know several decent junkyards where they will get you just about anything you want.

Can't be welded? I'd have to ask a welder about that but that doesn't sound right.

Now, about the safety of shooting metal targets... does one just do this at a good distance so ricochet/splatter doesn't get you? What are the do's & don'ts of shooting 223 or 9 at metal targets?
