Good ideas and good work! This is the kind of targets we don't get to use very often but you have given incentive to get into the shop and make a change to my range trips. Thank you!

@huyked Not sure - probably just a minute or two. Action shooting is usually against the clock and you would take your shots in the first few seconds of the swing. The pivot is lined with steel tube to decrease friction and you could increase the swing time by using a heavier weight and/or using a longer release stick to increase the release angle.

Great idea. I think I would design it so that I could pull the string to lift the weight so to speak.. So I could get it going over and over without having to walk out to it.. It could even have both ideas.. A catch that is like your hinge stick so it resets.. And you have to shoot a steel target to get it swinging.. But could be reset from your shooting position. Would be fun. Lots of ideas. Would require a little anchoring so it doesn't just move toward me, but other than that would not require much. But I never saw something I didn't want to tweak lol. Great job! Thanks for the ideas.

We use a steel knockdown, like the one in my can thrower video, to support the bobber arm. Another option is to tie the pull string to a bowling pin positioned behind and slightly to the side of the bobber. Turn the pull stick so the hinge is to the front and make sure the string is taut.

That would work. Sometimes though, in wet or windy weather, it's useful to be able to mount two or more card targets together to give added rigidity. Not so easy with staples.

@bnewtzie The plate weighs 5lbs. The weight is not critical so long as it's heavy enough to balance out the weight of the target and holder, but a heavy weight will swing for longer.

Nifty. I can see a fun game if you were to make a prop stick with a target on it, so that you had to shoot it for the target to swing into view.
@perryowens111 жыл бұрын
Yes, if the spindle is not exactly at right angles to the uprights the arm will swing at a slight angle, not parallel to the uprights as it should, and the end of the arm may hit the uprights. You could try re-drilling the pivot hole closer to the weight - shortening the swing might give enough clearance for the arm to swing freely.

@perryowens1 Ah, true. That's for the tips, and other variables that affect the time. Cheers. Have a great day.

Very nice, very nice. But I agree you should have a small target as a activation point. Maybe add a wall hiding it so to make it alittle more practical for training.
@perryowens19 жыл бұрын
We sometimes use a half scale pepper popper or similar knockdown target as a trigger. The end of the swinging arm just rests on the top of the knockdown so a hit starts the bobber swinging.
@perryowens111 жыл бұрын
The holes for the spindle need to be at 90 degrees to the swing arm and uprights so the arm will clear ok - hard to do with a hand held drill. Also the spindle bore needs to be a snug fit. I have about 1 1/2 inch clearance each side between the arm and the uprights and use steel tube spacers and washers to keep the arm centered. Maybe your arms are too close together?
@ramjethero91312 жыл бұрын
Hi, love your swinging target. I would like to build one , what is the weight of the metal disk? Thanks
@perryowens111 жыл бұрын
It's not meant to simulate a real-life scenario but if it bothers you just shorten the length of the activating stick and that will reduce the initial angle of swing.

If you mean for making the frames then the answer is no - scrap wood is generally free and easily available. I have used corrugated pvc for the targets - the stuff they make real estate signs from. It's ok but most box plants have a dumpster full of reject corrugated board you can have for little or nothing.

@perryowens112 жыл бұрын
Sorry I have no plans. I made it up as I went along from whatever timber was to hand. There are no critical dimensions - the wood is 3 x 2, 1 x 2 and 4 x 4in and the metal fixings are 10mm and 6mm studding. The weight could be scrap steel plate - the heavier it is the longer it will swing for. Make a spare target holder and release strut - they will get lost or shot up.

Design your own, quietlike. Can't be hard. I designed two wildcat cartridges that are entirely "de novo," meaning "of the new." Total cost for the two shells and the rifles to fire them is around $13,000. You can design and build one of these target swingers easily. Just start sketching...
