Popular setups[yardage]

[iAMzehTOASTY1]

Normally when I go out to sling lead for the day; I will tote along more than 1 slinger. Set out a few targets at various distances then go about my business.
Got me to thinking as to what are the more "popular" distances that get used.
My close targets are usually: 15 yards(max for most of my small pistols) 30 yards (max for most of my pumpers) and the 50 yard area(everything else)
I've also taken and hidden a bottle at about 90 yards that I have yet to destroy(nicked it a few times but not worthy of being called a HIT...yet!)
And i feel like packing for next range day...days before it arrives. This is the start

Im set up from the muzzle to 100y.. lol

I got this type rack starting at 20, 30,40,50,75,100. The a tripod rack for closer then 20y.

Also this type is easy to set up it just pushes into the ground and ready to go

Looked nice when it was fresh made ..lol

Hello @iAMzehTOASTY1

The more standard distances for rifles would be; 10-meters, 25-yards, 50-yards, 75-yards and 100-yards. Most printed targets are within this range.

Thanks! Looks like I am going to have to adjust my 2 closer targets a bit then.
That 100 though idk if I wanna walk that out(sandyyyy and unpredictable stability underfoot at that range where I normally go) could possibly adjust my downrange angle by adjusting where I sling from...ah...when the time comes!

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Well 50y with my rifles is my favorite most shot 80% of the time. 10m ,50' pistol.

Ya, walking in sand like at the beach works on the legs if you go a long ways..

Just a fyi on mine above its old cow panel that i had that were to bent up to be resued ..

Then from the good parts i cut out the rack part

With the stake bottom you just push in the ground then add a spinner or two and folder clips to hang paper or whatever

Heck yea!! I will definitely be making these in the future

That is a great way of recycling @Hateful McNasty !

If you can leave that cow fence at 100 yards @iAMzehTOASTY1 and hang some steel on it, you won't have to walk out there much at all. That's what I have at 95 yards. The "tink" is gratification enough. If you can hit a 3" gong at 100 yards reliably, you are doing pretty good, IMO...especially in wind. A 1" is MOA, and any of us would be proud to hit that reliably at 100 yards. Anyway, I like my gongs on the far targets .

I would but I go to a open public shooting area. It would either end up stolen or mangled from higher caliber powder burners out there

That lower middle white square with the dot is 3/16 . Then some i cut like 4x5" out of old disc blades .. also my critters are cut from disc blade.. the spinner ones are cut from old brush hog skin when i reskinned my brush hog (1/8 too thin) . Ya, most all is off the scrap pile.

One thing about the disc steel is it dont dent or bend not a blemish after a million shots ..lol. Lifetime.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I was going to edit this in but got hung up...

Anyway. I also thought why not grab these roadside signs for the stick in the ground frames? Plenty around after election time lol.

Ya same concept just more heavy duty..

Wonder what scraps I got handy

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Wood or pvc pipe suk. If your a bad shot like me they dont last long.. 1/8" plate is ok but the gamo will pound them out and sooner or later yull be hammering it back flat . Now 1/8 ware plate is harder but not common to buy. I get scraps off my jobs . That thin disc blade steel is mean . You better have a equal mean drill bit to drill mounting holes in it. Tap magic is a plus on that to. Just finding somthing that the pellets cant chip away at, bend up , blow holes through, cut in 2, ect....

But i use the steel( discblade here) as a backstop for paper using the folder clip.
Also i get a nice report when the pellet hits the steel. (Ding!)
