Fresh from the lair of Honest Ross's Pheasant Safaris is this wee beauty: A gong in a gong:wtfsmilie:
Hopefully the weather gods will smile on Sunday and I can take this out and christian it. Will be extra useful being able to see fall of shot if, no... when I miss the inner gong.
I'll sort out any teething problems Ross, so its working fine for your next visit:thumbsup:

That looks the business, what distance you shooting at and with what?
Jeez that would be a good addition to my range. What are the dimensions of the outer and the inner?
Patent pending:o
@Ross Nolan will know better, but I think its 150 dia inner and 250 x 250 outer.
Will throw anything I have at it, and will just hang it from trees in the forest at various ranges. Would like to get myself out beyond my standard 3 hundy.
Aye, that’s the bees knees. :thumbsup:
Genius !
You’d likely be fighting Thomas Haugland of THLR.NO YouTube fame for that patent.
It's 350 x 350, with a 150 diameter hole.
12mm AR500, so pretty much proof against anything shoulder fired past 100m, but I think it will shine at 400-500m.
In the right circumstances and with a good spotter you would still be rocking the inner at six hundy.Quote:

Very cool
Where @XR500 will be hanging it is along and then across a gully, with the shot line covered in part and not in others. In other words, a cast iron bitch, and I suspect it will be very humbling for the 500 m shots.
Otherworld as it is doesn't always match the supplied plans, that's for sure.
You need a 10 hole, would tighten your groupsQuote:

I made a light weight going for kids shooting 22s a 300mlronund with both a 50ml and a 25ml hole with a swinging plate on each hole. I'll find a photo of it but kids love shooting it
I have one I made as well.
In truth, if you hit the centre one it swings back with the shot and bangs on the front one as it falls back like a bell ringer. If you miss the small one and hit the big one the big one hits the small one, making it swing back and fall forward in the same motion. I found you get he same sound whether you hit the centre or not. The only ways to make it different is making the small one so it has a rubber stop out to that as it returns to vertical it doesn't clang the big one. That or make the big one out of ply etc more like a gong in a backboard.
Still fun to shoot either way so have fun and hit it lots. They do ring better than a normal gong too...
Nothing a splash of paint wouldn’t help with. A number of years ago I was fortunate enough to have long range targets peppered across the open slash country of @Barefoot ‘s felled forestry block. I really enjoyed shooting up there as the topography of the valleys meant that you were constantly challenged by the swirling wind which could be left to right at the end of your barrel but right to left at the target. Sometimes shooting up there you could pick up the glint of the sun on the copper bullet and watch it snake its way toward the target as it passed through differing cross winds.Quote:
