Tyler KempMade some pretty cool targets and mounts
Have some steel hung up on my personal range and didn't like the fact that all my targets were hung with a t-post mount that was "capped" so I was limited to one target per post.
I do like using t-posts however. Tough enough to withstand a few direct impacts (haven't knocked one down in a few years of shooting), and cheap to replace if you do hurt them.
Which led me to make these guys:
Springloaded design (they ring like crazy), and a grade 8 carriage bolt to keep the target from spinning while being pretty tough. Two grade 8 bolts in the back let you slide the target up and down the t-post so you can have several targets hung vertically.
Thought you guys might like it! Attached is a gridded target I made for super quick group measurement.
Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

PeglegI like the targets but are they hard to see at 500 to 1000 yards with them being of a dark color?

Tyler KempHaha fliers I never have those
They would certainly be hard to see at 500 to 1000 yards as raw AR500...but that's why you paint em!

bigvarmintI bought some of these and I think they are very well made and a great deal. I bought some other brand before seeing these and I'm impressed with these. I need to get them set up and get to hear some more ringing. They are sitting on my four wheeler just waiting for me to get outside. Thanks Ty, great product.
