I just received a new target setup from PrecisionTactical LINK

Well i wanted to share some pictures of my new target and reserve a spot for a write up on it when i get a chance to shoot it.

first impressions after opening was WOW its like Christmas, all metal was painted nicely and all edges were smoothed out.

I would like to thank Troy, Joe and Jim for this awesome target!

Emphasis on the 'almost'. Very cool Alan! The etching is a great idea. Total 'duh, I should'a thought of that!'.

Re: New target setup from Precision tactical

Can you show a picture of how the target mounts onto the hanger? Specifically a shot from the side and the back.

Looks top me from the 2nd picture that the red arm has a 90* bend up and the target had rectangle tubing that fits down over it.

Very nice looking target. The only thing I would like to see is that on the base, that the front of the tubing extended up about 8-10" to protect the 2x4. I guess it just depends on how long you make the 2x4. I guess a piece of 1/2" or 3/4" rebar sticking up on the front of the base would protact the 2x4 well enough. Might not look as pretty though.

Re: New target setup from Precision tactical

such a simple idea (etched scoring lines) but what a great idea.
 
Re: New target setup from Precision tactical

Awesome, what else needs to be said!!!
 
Re: New target setup from Precision tactical

That is a nice target and not a bad price either! Unfortunately the shipping kills it for me..
 
Re: New target setup from Precision tactical

Nice looking target! Will a tent stake fit the anchor holes on the base legs?

There is enough weight, you won't need stakes.

I own a pile of targets, 9 full size IPSC's, 12 Head banger style, and some others. This looks to be by far the most portable setup I've seen, nice!!

If a person is to leave them out, I would opt for a metal upright.
I do understand there is a certain amount of labor involved, but these are pricey IMHO. It just limits the amount one can buy.

I'm staring at my next shop product. Well done!
 
Re: New target setup from Precision tactical

Great target Jim.

Can the scoring lines be etched on an existing target?

Re: New target setup from Precision tactical

Well i finally got to shoot this target and so far im very impressed!
while i only got to get about 30 rounds on it the 2x4 took ZERO damage, not even any splash hit it. seems a 36-48" 2x4 is perfect, and the target rings like a bell! i even hit it with a couple .308 subs @ 300yds and it sounded like hitting a cow bell!

more range time to follow
