A New Target for my Range

[Rum River]

I couldn't resist this.

It's a 2' outside diameter with an 8" bullseye and 4" rings. The plates are all 3/8" AR500 and move independently.
Found it at the gun show in Ft. Worth for $575, they knocked off $50 for cash.
Was able to wedge it into the back seat of a Honda Accord for the trip home to Minnesota.
Probably weighs 75 - 100 pounds.

I thought it was a toilet seat at first!!! Nice!

that's what I would have to name it, the toilet seat target.
Tell folks shooting that they want to do it just like in life... keep the load inside the seat....
Nice target, enjoy, "Kabing, Kabing, Kabing"

Some shooters asked for more info on the builder. I was at a show in Fort Worth, Texas where the father and son had a huge display.

Cool looking target. I really like that design, reactive all around.

Have now tried it out a little. All at 25 yards, a combination of .45 ACP 230gr. FMJ, .45 Colt plain lead 250gr., 9mm 115gr. FMJ and just two or three 5.56 55gr. FMJ. For all the shooters who are about to chime in with comments about high strikes - that's what happens when you realize your short barrel handguns need a six o'clock hold when shooting at 75 feet.

This is a 10" AR 500 plate at 7 yards, it does a good job deflecting stuff into the ground.
I have a larger version of the same basic arrangement holding steel at 100, 200, 300 and 400 yards.
