Here I show how I went about making some spinning metal targets to shoot at with my airguns. They are pretty simple to make and very rewarding to plink at. Make yourself some and enjoy. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done. Thank you. I could easily buy targets similar to these but spending long periods of time in my warm basement with the woodstove going during a cold winter day sounds infinitely more rewarding. We often forget that the joy in making things adds immeasurably to the joy of using them. Now I'm off to look for smoke scrap steel.....
Fun to make. I like them, specially the very small ones😉👍 Would advice to mount the spinners in a pellet catcher. Also easy to make. The lead you can recycle for casting other bullets....Thanks!
Franck Pierorazio you are correct Franck, a ricochet is possible. I live on two acres with space between myself and the neighbors. There is tall grass and trees with unoccupied land behind where I am shooting. Even with ricochet, it would be difficult for the pellet to leave my property and or hit something unintended. These are meant to be shot with airguns and soft lead pellets that deform. Shoot at your own risk and be aware of your backdrop and surroundings. Shoot safe my friend!

Reactive targets on the 'cheap'. I love it!!
One of the best ideas I have seen yet for this.
Nice job mate, that sort of target set-up is expensive to buy and you've made your own and saved heaps, and it'll never wear out - well done cobber!!!
Excellent idea, thank you very much for sharing this project with us. I’m making some of this too.
I like that. Heavy duty!!!
nice to see another build video from you. hope you are well. nice work! -t
Thanks Tim! You have been doing some pretty cool stuff on your channel. I loved the intern, she is working hard for you, you taskmaster! Ha ha! :)
Ha ha! My mom's a good sport :)

mullz1 Thank you! I appreciate that.

Keep it up green arrow u are working very hard for these kinds of video. I appreciate u my friend.
Wonderful idea, great video. So, I subscribed.
that's clever but, tell me, isn't it a bit dangerous if you miss the target and hit the bolt? no ricochet?

You are in love with that reciprocating saw. I suggest getting a cut off saw. Good video
bandsaw is better for this
good job
Yeehaaa, cowboy!
sise's would of been nice,measurements for each piece
make them for your own size needs. Small is harder, bigger is easier.
It's up to you
all you need is a steel shop.
This could be made solely with hand tools.
Spend some money on an angle grinder😂 nice work.
Length .75" and with .25" for tang?
Looks like drilled hole would be 5/16"
the square looks to be .75"
Ummm! Am I close?
Real world testing ! 😂😂🤣🤣
