There are a couple guys out there who make steel knock-down targets and you can get spinners for airguns from Birchwood-Casey (i.e. through just about any firearm store/vendor) as well. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

I thought the price was really good...once I got them I KNEW it was good. I have welded up a 30' wide "swinger" target frame..just drive it in the ground..has 6 different size targets on it. have it set at 25 yards. I may just build 4 individual little "swinger" frames so I wouldn't have to keep re-setting these, plus would be easy to place them at different distances. I'll check out Birchwood-Casey, first time I've heard that name...thanks! _________________ HEY !!

Will they fall to a 500 FPS pellet??   Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 5:08 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA I like my spinners. I drilled holes in a patio block to set mine in, because I;m shooting in my basement. I can make the small one in the middle flip 4 times! I just make the big ones swing back and forth. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

Pointy head....re-read my post...I built frames for each one and they are now "swingers" heck with all that gettin' up, walkin', bending over, etc,etc,etc. They are mad out of "305 M" ( I think that's what it's called) Anyway, I 'm shooting them with a 2250 HPA gun and a Talon SS..NOT even the slightest dent in any of them.(NO DAMAGE) course the paint takes a beatin' but it's $1.00 a can at the "dollar store".. _________________ HEY !!

Packrat I have been looking at your picture and trying to figure out just what it is that you have done. I think I understand the concept of the target being a swinger meaning when it is hit it either falls over and then rights it's self or just wobbles. however for the life of me I can't imagine what you did to make them behave that way. Would you mind posting a diagram or something to help me understand?   Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 10:12 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA He welded bars like this on to hang from. He puts a loop of metal over it so that the hole is at the top of the loop. When he shoots them they swing back and forth like a little kid on a playground. Here is the basics of what he is talking about- THat's about the best way I can decribe it. Did I mention I can spin the middle one four times with my 2400? lol _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

Oops- I read it as you had them and THEN made them into swingers... I was just wondering of the reacted to a lower powered gun, or if you needed an 800 FPS .22 to knock them over. The larger set looked like a real bargain as well. _________________ With style and aplomb.
