Crummy pic but just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about here. This is a steel sprocket that I got from work. It came off some sort of box manufacturing machine and measures 12" across and 7/16" thick and has to weight 4-6 pounds. After knocking out the bearing the center hole is 2" across. Im thinking if i weld a chain at the 11 and 2 o'clock positions it could be hung 200-300 or so yards out as a reactive gong type target. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea as to what kind of steel is used for this type of sprocket and would it be suitable for a reactive type gong  Someone else suggested I get another 1/4" or thinner steel plate and weld several 1/4" thick nuts to that and hang it in front of the sprocket so it lays losely on the sprocket so the welded nuts would keep it 1/4" off the sprocket. The 1/4" or thinner plate would break up the bullet making it do less damage to the sprocket and make more noise with every hit. Ya think The 2nd plate would at least cover the 2" center hole.Below is a pic of the 12" x 7/16" thick sprocket...  Anyone know of any online pics of gongs so i can see the set up arrangement? Maybe a youtube.com video? Thanks for your time. |
That just screams for a 40mm HEDP round!

This is a little off track but................here's a little project a buddy of mine and I made. Targets are made of .75" Thick 4140 steel. Diameters are 3" 2" 1.5" 1" and .75" As you can see at the time of the picture only the 2" one was used. We also hang a gong off of one side and a bowling pin on the other. I don't have any pictures of the gong but it is a 10" diameter 1/2" thick piece of D-2 Tool steel.
