Depends on how busy the steel cutter is. So far we've seen a 1-2 week completion time after the final order is submitted, but I'll keep everyone updated on this thread.

If you have ordered some plate and don't have a way of hanging it I can weld up any custom design you may have in mind. I live in the Calgary area, if you bring your own steel that will help with the cost of building the fram if you would like me to supply the steel the cost of the steel would just go on to the welding bill.

PM me with any questions.

Thank you good Sir

some pictures of the old target stand and my new one modeled off a Picture Jordan posted.

With my Son Alexander the greatest helper a Dad could ask for.

I used 20mm rebar big weight gain worth it for the savings in over all space taken up

cheers

hey guys ive used my full size ipsc target thing now quite a bit out to 500 yards with the sniper rifle...175 gr matchkings and my m1a springfield with 145 gr fmjs out to 350 yards. built a tall frame like 5'5" or 6 feet out of 2x4 and 4x4 s, the inside of the wood facing the steel is getting shredded now because of the break up of the bullets. so i have to put some flashing around the posts/x-beams.

something i never thought of

just letting every one know if you use wood for a frame protect where the bullet guts are gonna splatter

Figured Id put a note up in this thread,
If anyone is bored of their ISPC target, feel free to PM me!
Thinking of turning my gong into a ispc hostage set up and wanted to check, seeing as these are the best darn targets Ive found

I bought 5 IPSC targets and they work fine. I am looking to see if anyone has a bunch of smaller targets they want to sell. I am need of a bunch for a 3 gun event in October.

Ok I might need half to a full sheet of smaller 8" round or similar targets. 3/8"

Can you weld bases on round discs or square plates?
