Shooting in the wind today

[MarkCZ]

I was shooting in changing winds, today 5 to 10 mph. The KYL has 5/8", 1/2", 3/8, 1/4" and a 3/16". All are AR500, but the 3/16" is AR400. At 50yds the first 3 are a chips shot , but the 1/4" and 3/16" are not. I was shooting both for wind practice with my Kidd Supergrade, with Wolf Match Target and CCI SV. I was hitting about 70% to 80% with one 10 round mag with 10 hits, on the 3/16"

I love that design. I've been thinking about building one, but it was getting complicated. Simple always wins.

Great idea for the small KYL targets at a reasonable cost.

ima gonna hafta Maybe borrow that idea for our random occasional .22 long range matches. Thank you for the idea.

I have a Full KYL but use this one most of the time. It has a steel Square tubing frame now. I have another one with 1/2" stacked of 1.5", 1" and 1/2" for long range.

Mark, I really like that target as well. I have a full size KYL but it an be a pain to transport. Where did you get the steel. I’ve thought about checking some welding shops and see if I can buy any scrap they have.

I have a few of the 1” x 1/4” ones I use for .22 now. Just never gave it any thought about using them sideways like that. I appreciate it.
