Homemade Swinging Targets

[Devil Dog]

Thought I'd post a pic of my homemade target setup. I'll be headin upstate PA for the holiday and will finally get to test it out. I can't wait! if anyone is interested in making one, lemme know and i'll provide some measurements.

Last week-end I saw a simular setup with tennis balls on strings as targets. They sure took a beating with all kinds of calibers. The guy told me the balls sometime capture 22 bullets.

I put the targets through hell over thanksgiving weekend! They held up great under pistol fire, 22 though 45. 223 on the other hand put a hurting on the 3/8 steel plate! My AR was punching holes almost through the plates. I'm certain with steel core ammo I would get all the way through.

I have a couple of boxes of bowling pins that would look great hanging from that set up!

The tennis ball idea does sound pretty cool. I'm gonna tie some on in between my metal targets at different heights and see how they hold up. I got a ton of pics of the shotup plates, but my wife forgot to pack the camera when we left so I'll post them when i retrieve my camera after the holidays. I'm gonna start building a target similar to the viking tactics ones on troy industries website. Prolly gonna copy the silouette with double lolipops.http://troyind.com/%20/viking-tactic...e-lolli-popper If i can get the time to get it done I'll post some pics.

I like to shoot up tennis balls and baseballs, much more fun to hit them on the swing
