I have a friend with a fab plant. Has a plasma cutter with C&C machine. He cut me some heavy duty spinners 1” and 1 1/2”. I have to clean the hole, grind them clean, give them a twist and a blast of paint. I have 200 coming with different diameters. They make awesome targets. Crow

Yeah I took advantage of our college metal shop where the wife works. The instructor likes me and ordered a 30' square sheet of AR steel to make rifle targets for me. Kids cut them out for experience and all I had to pay for was the metal. Half the price of our local metal dealer. Got 12 targets each, 2 other buddies bought in, of differing sizes and they hold up really well to high velocity rifle and even better for steel challenge style pistol shooting. As long as the kids are low on projects I can keep sending them work. Next will be welding up a metal door frame and door for my safe room. Need super tight seal for prybar protection.

Made more spinners. Now these will hang from branches or I’m using a pole. Reason, soon be buried in snow if left on ground.

 The poles I get at my buddies near Algonquin Park. Their up to 35 ft. long, skinny, straight as a die, dead, dried out and strong. I got a few to hang my spinners. Just tie into trees.

 Kitty in background, gone on Wed. These spinners will last indefinitely. Easy to make 1/4” rod, 3/8 I’d. tube for spacers between spinners. Bought my first 39 spinners on Amazon proximately four dollars each.

 These are 1/8” thick,I’m going to go 1/16” on next lot. I find this the most reliable target. I ordered some diamond shaped ones today. Crow
