DIY Targets

We tried making a dueling tree, took some angle iron for the body, welded pipe for the plates to sit on, rebar bent at a 90 to sit in the pipe to swing on and we are still working on a reliable way to attach the plates to the rebar. Welding is tough on ar500 since it makes it not hard which kinda ruins the whole point of ar509
I’m a steelworker by trade so I have access to a steel shop plasma cutters etc...
This one is 3/8” ar500 I made this one to be taken apart and put in a trunk of a car . I like to look at what the manufacturers are making and duplicate it. I should cut the silhouettes out and sell them, although they are fairly heavy.

I would love to have a hostage target like that, but my little welder doesn’t have the guts to deal with material like that.
that or a rifle rated dueling tree. The “ping” is always awesome to hear, but have if a reactive target just takes the fun to a whole different level.
Little DIY Kyl rack I made with some left over material I had
No, I did it from scratch. If I did another one it would be similar to MK Machining's KYL rack they just made. It's shown on their Instagram page, not on their website yet.
