Wanting to know

If any one has access to steel plate and can make up 4 of these Steel Walking Flipping shooting Targets.

The dimensions are 8" tall 9" wide and is 1/4" steel.

I would also like 4 in thicker plate say 1/2 - 3/4 thick steel & 12" tall & 18" wide for the larger to magnum cals for a lil medium-long range walking fun

I am also after 18-22mm plate steel in 300mm squares for LR Swingers.

I have seen them Gnome and thought about making some. I have some 75mm x 8mm mild (like 5m of) but thought that might be a bit heavy for .22lr but probably ok for small centrefires, not sure how long they would last with the wby mag - be fun to find out though

Looks good!

Found a sheet of 3mm mild steel in the garage yesterday arvo, The Gnome came round for a visit and this happend



Plasma cutter got a bit of a work out and the 2nd one was definatly a bit neater but I guess they are only going to get shot at.
Chris has some photos of the finished product and is taking 2 away this weekend for some 'testing'. The did however hold up to the power of the Nerf gun so I am pretty sure they will be fine

Going to work on something a bit thicker for use with 20cal and 223's at a little longer ranges

[JasonF]

Looking good. Bet they tumbled with the nerf power!

[Gnome]

Yup there gonna get tested this weekend for sure
