I made a heavy steel frame to hang targets off of. So you guys will have something other than yourselves to shoot at...Who can I get with to get it to the HUN farm... It will fit in a pickup truck but its made out of structural steel so its heavy.... I can also make some galvanized steel (sheetmetal) targets yall can plink at. All it needs is the chain and some 3/8" holes drilled in it.. |
LOL. I tried but missed, the guys kept moving. Thanks for the steel frame, gonzo111. I think some members might have a pick up truck and haul it. Where are you at? Can you make it to the Hun farm in 2 weeks? |

Thank you gonzo111! Your charity will be remembered as long as there is a Hun Farm. Naturally, you are a fully vested member of the DFW Crew with all rights and privileges appertaining thereto. Sorry, I was reading from my diploma.  We really needed a target system. I thank you. The trees thank you. The Pease River Cleanup Committee thanks you. Eric The(Grateful)Hun

Ok, I picked up the frame and it's sitting strapped in the bed of my truck. We'll someone to bring a stout cordless drill, also will need some chain(cut to length, 1 ft sections maybe), some 3/8" eyebolts with nuts and washers. Whoever gets to the farm before me needs to firgure out where to put the frame, hopefully where my truck won't get stuck going to and from. I'll also need at least 1 person to help me get it out of the truck. We might want to drill some holes in the legs to drive some metal tent stakes through. It is large and stable, but we all know what the wind up there can be like and with targets hanging it might just be enough to tip it over. Who ever had the metal plates, bring them. Gonzo made about 20 plates for it, but they're about 10 ga sheet metal...you knotheads that like M885 will probably swiss cheese the little guys. Might want to pick up some Rustoleum or something for it too. Mostly to paint over where bullet strikes will knock the paint off. mm |
Gonzo has already welded it up. We'd just need a 14.4 or an 18v drill to put the holes for the eyebolts through0. We need eyebolts and chain too, and some hooks to hang the targets. mm |
| One thing we could really use out there is a cutting torch to cut the bottom off of the empty helium cylinder that we shoot. It would probably ring quite a bit more if the bottom was off. Also, I would like to thank gonzo111 for putting together the frame for us and mm38 for picking it up. |
