How To Make Plate Resetting Target

Welcome to Tiffany Outdoors! today I will show you how I made a plate rack target for my pellet gun. I got the idea from Brain Exploder check out his channel for all things airsoft. he also makes 3D target holders so check out his store.

Hey Scott!! Yes it's so much fun !! Thank you for watching

I have a back yard full of air rifle targets…but it looks like I need to build one e more! Great design!

[@beverlymichael5830]

Gal after my own heart. I love coming up with ideas and building from scrap and inexpensive parts something that costs so much more store bought. You go girl.

Thank you so much Beverly Michael for the kind words!!

Great work! If you put magnets on the front piece of wood, it'll help keep them set

[@tiffanyoutdoors3885]

Joe I think that is an excellent idea I do have some small magnets to try. Thank you for watching

[@bryansmith5980]

when setting the hinges place them back a 1/8 th of a inch from the front board. That way the target leans slightly to the front. And that should help them stay up without the need for magnets? The magnets are a good idea though.

Drill a hole in the top for a bolt, drill a small hole in the end of the bolt, and hang with some bailing wire. Makes a great little bell target. Have a wonderful day.

Great job 👍. I actually live on a small houseboat. So I can only "real" shoot at the range. So to practice on the boat I use a lazor pistol. I'm working on a BB target trap so I can shoot on my deck outside. It's enclosed but I have to be really careful and it's a challenge for sure. Anyway, you did a great job and gave me some ideas. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work 👍🤠

[@thestalicho]

Move the hinges back 1/2" so the plates lean forward slightly, that should stop them falling down before they are hit. Be careful with files they are brittle and can snap and fling razor sharp bits into your eyes etc. I think your resetable plate targets are brilliant, well done for working it all out, I might have a go myself.

Tiffany Outdoors , I like this style of target you can shoot over and over with out having to replace them so you can focus on the fundamentals of shooting, muscle memory, grip sight alignment etc.

[@benjaminmills1766]

Great idea! If you wanted to make one for higher calibers without breaking the bank on ar500 steel, you could simply rivet tin cans in place of the electrical covers. Once the cans were destroyed you could just replace them. Mount the whole thing upside down and just let gravity reset the system.

[@tiffanyoutdoors3885]

Great job ! You could also use a V string connection for your string pull up. A bridle of sorts if you will....Using 2 points of connection might help it work more uniform and smoothly. Like how a kites bridle functions. Hope that makes sense.

[@JaleelJohanson62]

Nice job! It's always tough to come up with a target design that can work flawlessly with a large range of different powered air guns. For the rifle, I'd either lean the entire base forward a little or move back the hinge on each target such that the targets lean forward a little when the base is level. This should prevent targets you're not shooting at from falling when you hit the one you are shooting at. Personally, I'd avoid shooting bb's at a steel target as the ricochet's can become unpredictable.

[@tiffanyoutdoors3885]

Thank you for the idea. I was thinking that I would try putting some soft foam on the back of each target so when it does fall the others wont fall too. Yes I agree the BBs did come back at me on some of my shots

[@JaleelJohanson62]

You're most welcome. I think what you came up with is pretty cool!

[@Fisiek_Inferator]

i think a pieces of magnets placed at the back of the frontal piece of wood acordingly to the target plates would do the trick of unwanted falling of others

[@tiffanyoutdoors3885]

that is a good idea!! thank you

[@usernamemykel]

Agreed - move the hinges back a little.

[@brorjordas1979]

Was thinking of doing one of this kind of targets myself too. The end of my backyard is quite rocky and uphill towards forest.. An idea came to mind. If turning the hinges the other way around, the targets/plates would get more space to lean more forward (if needed). A long screw could be screwed through the front wooden panel for each target - and the angle of how much each target leans forward could then be adjusted separately.. I was thinking of building this in a low, wooden box. Since the box would be placed on an uphill terrain - the inside of the box' back wall would then be visible behind the targets and catch all the missed pellets. No idea though yet how to collect the pellets that hit the targets.. :D :D .. or just maybe oughta build all this in a wooden box.. Oh well, there goes simplicity out of the window, once again.. ;) :D The basic idea of this kind of target is quite easy. But if you do not want to shoot your environment full of pellets throughout the years - then somekind of an "collector" would be good to have.

[@tiffanyoutdoors3885]

That is a very good point Bror Jordas!! I think you will love this once you get one built and if you come up with an idea to collect the pellets let me know too ;) Thank you for watching

[@elincarlsson6388]

Styrofoam. Put it behind the targets for any stray ones, they get stuck in there. I'm thinking of putting styrofoam on the targets themselves then printed bullseyes on those, not a fan of pure metal since it makes them bounce.

May I suggest small flat magnetic strips that have adhesive on one side and a flat magnetic strip on the other. They would be just strong enough to stop your targets from falling when you hit the wood.
