    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why do I always shoot left with my 1911?

    "Relax the grip" was told to me by a guy at the range one day. I thought he was an idiot until I tried it..... Worked for me. I squeeze my Glocks and drill the center. The old .45 used to shoot left, but now I relax and just let it jump up. Never misses now. Full size Kimber Desert Warrior.

    Target stands for steel. I could not find grade 8 carriage bolts locally to attach the plates to the straps. Those are standard bolts. Do you guys think that will hold up, or should I order grade 8?

    Great idea! I made them 8" deep and at enough angle they seem to not want to go anywhere, but that would be rock solid for sure!

    Target stands for steel.

    I agree and I like them too. Just shot some t-post in my day and thought I would try something else. Also like the way they move a lot.

    Target stands for steel.

    I made these with 1/2" steel tubing for the brackets. I just cut rebar for the rest. Used 2" recovery strap for hangers with a 1/2" hole melted thru. I like the way they turned out.
