Had to mow the grass around the range today so I also brought along my 4 new hangers I made for the soccer frame target to see how they work.
The gun today was my 1872 OT setup for 38 Special and also brought my Springfield XDE 45 that has been resting for a while.
The XDE fired off 7 rounds without a hitch without any cleaning or lubing since I put it away. Will rotate it back into my CCW as before.
The hangers worked great and the 38 Special Open Top was better on target after filing a bit off the front sight as it was shooting low.

Looks like they have a chance

Yeah I think they will work okay. Have to try my 45-70 on it and see how much they swing!

I like that idea of the soccer goal frame and the way you hung 'em, Forty!!!
I'd like to steal your idea for this! As soon as I can find one of those soccer goal frame gizzies at some garage sale somewhere.......

I like the hooks, going to try it on an older gong I have.
Good idea.
I'm bettin the the 45 will make 'er swing pretty good.

The soccer goal frame was a freebie from the city parks & rec as they were throwing some old ones away. This is the smaller Jr. frame.
Hooks easy to make with a 1 inch wide piece of schedule 80 2.5 inch pipe I believe it was. The frame tube is 1.5 OD and the rod is 3/8ths steel rod.
A little rod bending in a large vice with a little hammering plus drill a 3/8th hole in the section of pipe with a bit of welding.
