I made this target stand years ago for my 17 HMR but never really used it until I mounted a metal ringer behind each hole. From right to left the holes measure 2", 1", and .5". To get the satisfying ringing sound I had to use a thinner metal but I couldn't use the 17 HMR because the bullets were punching through the ringer.
.5 and 1 inch holes
Very easy to make and the only thing hard to make is drilling the holes. If you buy a metal hole saw, you're almost half way there. The metal I was using were scrap metal laying around the house. The crater marks on the face metal is from the 17HMR but pellets don't phase the metal. Very satisfying ring when you thread the pellet through a .5 inch hole at fifty yards.
