Here soon, im going on my twice a year trip with friends down to deep in the hollers kentucky to do some camping, shooting, and 4 wheeling. In past trips, we've hung beer cans, set up clay pigeons, paper targets etc etc. while this is fun and all, im looking for more permanent targets. I shoot about 200 rounds a week, mainly home cast and reloaded 38spl, so im planning on bringing about 1k 38 spl, 200 357, 250 380's, and a handful of 22's(suckers are expensive compared to the rest) and shooting them all off over the period of a couple days.
problem is- I like reactive targets that are set it and forget it. I will be mainly shooting with my taurus 66 at 25ish yards, and my pocket 380 and 357 snub at 12-15 yards. I was thinking 6" dia steel plates because i can easily get 95% of the shots out of the 66 at 25 yards on a 6" target, and 6" for my snub and 380 should be challenging enough.
looking on how to do this. Id like to have 6" plates that can swing, attached to a large screw threaded end that I could drill into a tree branch for easy setup and removal.
I have access to a welder, and many tools, just not sure how to go about this
