Challenge Targets DIY Auto-Reset Popper Plates - Part 1 - Building the Stand

[@rolfhogfeldt7645]

Looks like you guys had fun building it. Great EZ project for hours of fun.👍🤠

[@ArtisanTony]

It is awesome. I donated it to the our rifle club so more people could enjoy it :) Thanks!

[@kitohammond]

Exactly what I needed to finish my shooting gallery! Thanks guys

[@ArtisanTony]

Thanks!

Good target stand, Artisan Tony. Both you and Barret did a good job. The most impressive part of the video was 'what was NOT shown.' Big Tony and Barret loading the 4" x 8" timber, with the targets on it, into the back of the big Ford truck. That's one heavy piece of the target stand. Next video, it would be interesting to see Barret ride the horse around the shop. The one with the wheel for the front legs. It looks like it would be a real hoot!!!

[@ArtisanTony]

***** What is this a comedy channel? haha

[@1023471965]

ArtisanTony >Could have been!!! = Big Tony lifting the 4" X 8" timber and Barret, both at the same time. Barret would have his feet way off the ground, while still holding onto the timber. Plus, Barret could have sat on the horse earlier in the video and sang, "Yippy ti yi yo, get along little doggies. It's your misfortune and none of my own. Yippy ti yi yo, get along little doggies. You know that Wyoming will be your new home. "

great looking target !! looks like you guys will have a great time on that .

[@petrokemikal]

Attach a threaded rod to the resetting bar which hangs out horizontal behind the wood when its pulled up to reset the targets, that way you can put on some opposing counterweights which will pull the wood back down after a reset of the targets !!

Excellent work gentleman

[@ArtisanTony]

***** Thank you much :)

[@dmo848]

Jus what I needed to see to build my pellet gun targets. Using electrical back plates cut up into your design

[@ArtisanTony]

Yes, this was a fun project and it is still at our rifle club where I donated :)

[@centralmn4071]

Gary Jordan Thanks Gary!

[@mrbakerskatz]

Looks good guys

[@ArtisanTony]

mrbakerskatz Thanks! :)

[@paleogeology9554]

mount an upright board on the side with a pulley thats raised about 8" above the targets so when you pull on the string it has more leverage so you can easily reset the target

[@thisoldnew4544]

Nice project. Nice father & son relationship u 2 have.

[@FOGHORNNC]

Great job!!... how heavy is it?

[@ArtisanTony]

FOGHORNNC I think the main beam with the steel is around 90 pounds and the two braces are not bad at all. Two people can easily carry it. Barret and I had no trouble loading it in the truck. The thing is, if it were any lighter you would pull it over when trying to reset the steel plates. It needs to be heavy to function properly. Thanks!

[@romansten9]

+ArtisanTony Very nice design and video. As for weight, you'd think you could simply pound in some stakes to hold it! Thats what I did on a swing set. If you haul it around, stakes would be much lighter to carry.

[@FranciscoDelValle180]

That was great work. Should have included the addition of the spring but still great work.

[@Johnnyyonnadam]

good job guys , my suggestion is instead of the rope for the reset why not installing a spring behind the metal targets so they flip back when hit ? just a suggestion

[@ArtisanTony]

You can set the targets to do that, I just like seeing them go down :) We would have little competitions to see how fast we could knock them down Thanks!

[@RadioWagonRob]

Very nice target setup but what did that end up costing once it was all said & done. You saved on the material but those plates are sold in packs of 3 at like $189

[@ArtisanTony]

R Ochoa I had most of the material and challenge targets supplied the steel targets. You are right. It would have been a little pricey.

[@wildingber]

Where did you get the targets?

[@ArtisanTony]

Challenge Targets :)

[@mostknown1237]

Can u use those hinges for the plate for Airsoft like do u need to get something else or this one but just not as heavy?????

[@ArtisanTony]

The 9mm barely knocks them over :)

[@mach1mustang1971]

fantastic...

[@ArtisanTony]

Scott AKA mach1mustang1971 Thanks very much!

[@twigglykevin]

is that jerry miculuk to the left on the sketchup print?

[@ludwigcorrea1587]

very very good

[@ArtisanTony]

Thanks! :)

[@eltenda]

pretty cool..

[@ArtisanTony]

eltenda fabrizio Thank you much! :)

[@yankey4]

ArtisanTony Love it brother. I wish I had the cash for that drill and drivers, Seeing you guys shooting going to be fun. God Bless,

[@ArtisanTony]

yankey4 I think I found them on sale :) Thanks!

[@Campbellzbest]

Is that a power C? Go Mocs!

[@johntaylor8582]

How about a little wood glue

[@ArtisanTony]

I try not to depend on glue for anything. I try to make the mechanical connections work which server better through time.

[@TheSib]

Cool setup, but wouldn’t it have been a lot easier to let the steel plates dangle from that horizontal beam? No reset necessary.

[@ArtisanTony]

The whole point of these targets is to hit them properly so they fall over. You can cheap plates if you want dangling targets.

[@harrytombs2081]

Can u do a video testing it out

[@ArtisanTony]

harry tombs We are going to the range tomorrow to test it! :)

[@M.M-M]

Nice work guys, but I miss the "auto" in your "auto reset" system. Looks like you reset it by hand.

[@_DefiJack]

Michael Menke-Mischke - yeah the title is misleading. This is NOT an auto reset system.

[@Quokkat7]

Thanks tony and ed sheeran

[@ArtisanTony]

haha, Barret gets that a lot and Barret is also a good musician :)

[@twigglykevin]

no soul in the intro music :P ;) im jk great video keep it up

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

Take aim.

[@TFger-nm9pr]

If you use a rope to reset it that means it is NOT auto reset.
