Hi Guys,
Does anyone know where i can get one of these spinner targets in NZ. I would prefer AR500 steel (or equivalent) for rifle use.

Damn, I could play with one of those for hours
Gillie any engineer worth his salt could whack you one of those up.
Try Bert at Oceania Defence, he makes AR500 steel targets.

Sorry, link shows fine for me in the original post...
could price it up for you @Gillie
Probably only want two. And given the price of AR500 and the labour involved (both disks are AR500 as well as the joining strip between them because someone will hit this bit I am sure) I would prefer an existing design (i.e. that works) as compared to one I design myself (i.e. that may not...). I am not sure the purpose of the counter weight behind? I would have thought the weight of the heavier disk would have had the target return all the time.
Surely one of the pistol clubs already have one of these?
I would appreciate the pricing guys. Maybe a 12" target for the bottom and 8" target at the top... maybe the counter weight is because the targets on their own aren't heavy enough and it is too easy without the added weight?
Looks fun
I'm following this. It occurs to me there may be a few of us keen.
I'm wondering if it's worth costing the plate unit alone. The frame and counterweight is more manageable locally for some of us; it's the profile cutting of the specialist steel where a bulk order will at least distribute the computer time etc
Just a thought....
JC Steel Targets Spinner
12" target at the bottom, 8" target at the top (that makes the AR500 target piece nearly 1.5m long!). 10mm, 12mm, or 1/2" thick AR500 (or equivalent) would be fine as I would want it to be suitable for up to the 338 magnums. AR500 portion is an odd shape and I would expect a fair amount of wasted steel "off cuts" out of it. If I could get some 100mm square targets out of the off cuts that would be cool as well.
Surely one of the pistol clubs already has one of these? @R93 have you seen on at a pistol club?
Interested in some plates as well , just square jobbies

Something like this to reduce waste steel. I would keep both spinners and the smaller gongs, everything else I would likely put up for sale.
try the Green party - they got plenty of "spinners".
I'm keen on some plates if there are any going.
Yes, absolutely expecting the price will be scary. JC targets have them at US$400 without postage so that equates to NZ$550 each - so i expect the price to come in about this for the spinners each. Of course i have no idea what the bearing would be worth and i would expect a good quality sealed bearing would be good for it as it will be outdoors in any weather.
All up i would expect there is something like NZ$1500 worth of targets in there... :thumbsup:
Ideas on one for a. 22 / 17hmr out to 100m? Could spend hoooooouuuuuurrrrssss on one of the them with the 22, not too mention the ammo costs.... :yuush::oh noes:
Will see what favours I can pull for you @Gillie
Not my pic, I flogged it from another Forum member!
$550 buys a lot of ammo:D

Would take some thinking... i think 6mm mild steel would be good enough from about 40m out. Size of the targets would be something like a 100mm target on the bottom and a 75mm target on top. Not sure about the dimensions, particularly the distance between the pivot and the targets.

Knocked this up a while back and the boy spends hours plinking. I'm going to add another plate on the back for the recochet off the top edge. Disk is 6mm m/s welded on angle facing done. Digs quite a trench after a while
Having the plate angled by as little as 10 degrees significantly reduces damage and gives better ricochet control on any steel target.
How many South Island members would be interested in one or two of these or just a square or rectangle plate?

@Happy has done this I believe
I'd be keen for a large plate at the very least. So @223nut and I are Invercargill end of the country
Is there a price on a spinner ,(plate only) yet?
I dont want to go cutting @mucko 's lunch so will stay out of supplying NI.
If I do it I will probably do it as a perk if possible then I get some beer money and people get a decent deal especially if freighted by forum members.
I just want a FIRM show of hands before I book up 1-2k on my tool account for plate.
@veitnamcam ditto
