thanks Keith and Lewis.

Hi Hair bear.

I have made hundreads of Air gun Silhouette's from 3mm Mild steel and like Keith said are fine for springers but Powerfull PCP wil knock them about. Up to around 22 FP seems ok. But a .22 at around 25 FP and up Targets really start to fly. Never broken any but they are sure bent.

I'm doing three sets of swingers for a mate out of 5mm . I will be cutting these one's by hand rather than on the laser .

I'm in Bendigo not far from you.

Please note.....
Please be aware most Air Silhouette Targets sourced from overseas are not to SSAA National Standards. Please refer to SSAA RMS Rulebook for sizes and correct plate and feet / stands sizes. Chickens are now 5 mm all others are 3mm plate
Preferred supplier Chris Dale 0418255874 can supply - cut outs or fully welded targets please contact him.
Others can supply targets,make sure they refer to SSAA RMS Rules. I have seen many that have siad they can cut targets out and they are not been able to be used as they are out of shape - SSAA Rule Book.
If any body requires practice targets, I can supply A4 copies of each animal
Great for sighting in and off hand practice.

G'Day All
Prefered is the term not compulsory. If anyone can cut the targets to size they are acceptable. It doesn't matter where they come from and to be honest the more people supplying targets the better it has to be for the sport. Chris Thomas please don't take offence to any comments if your targets are to spec which I'm sure they are I'd like to see some as it would give people another source of supply. But as Fobis pointed out some clubs had some well oversize targets supplied through the NRA (our club was one of them). I'll point out again that there is no compulsary supplier as the NRA has and if targets can be bought at a cost saving by any club or individual it is only better for the sport. That way clubs could buy more targets and individuals can use their savings for more shooting stuff. In fact if there is anyone who cus targets out there I'd be interested to hear from them.

Mate I can understand you being a bit upset but ramslammer was just answering a question and providing an alternative which happens here all the time.At AV whilst we support various businesses we do not lollygag our members to our preferred businesses nor do we stop them from legitimately criticising a business.
When Ramslammer said "prefered supplier" I think he meant for SSAA Silhouette clubs which in the few times I've shot with them is the impression I got.

Don't mean to offend you or have a go at you mate I am just explaining how I see it.

No problems.

I have seen some crappy Targets my self. The first lot of Rimfire i had cut by a local Lasor company . When i went to pick them up the bloke said i'll just get the fork lift to load them for you i said the fork lift!!!

They had forgot to scale down the full bore CF Targets to rimfire .Even no good for CF as they still used 6mm mild steel,. Next time they got them correct. !
