Plate Rack
 
Here are some pictures of a plate Rack we made down here. We drilled holes in the 8" plates and looped rubber over the top of the Rack. We used bolts to secure the rubber to the plates. We didn't want to weld the bolts on because if the threads were damaged due to poor marksmanship we would have to cut them off and reweld them. Also being able to remove the plates makes transporting the rack easier. I plan on making one for my range as soon as I get home. Any other simple metal target ideas would be appreciated. The Metal Range here is crap and we want to have our own to use, but all targets need to be portable. We have access to Steel and a welder.

ME! ME!

I had a different answer ready if nobody liked it....;)

Actually this is k's project. He wouldn't let me near it. We did shoot one of his plates with the AR-Big Gun - the verdict was they ain't designed for it. And he let me use the frame for a demo shoot. He's a good guy.

Bummer! When you come to visit me, you will find that Des is less than 25 minutes away.

Rack
 
I said we built it not me. But you lost me in this thread. The Plate Rack is not where we are going to shoot at it in the photo. I am going to make the LT'S pull it across the Range while you yell at them with the Bullhorn

You mis-spelled "intimidate"...

LTs - no fun, easy targets. IF they're ring knockers, they might offer a little challenge... (no offense to any QPs, we would only harm leg LTs on this site)
