New gong stand

Well this morning in between rain showers I put up a new permanent gong stand in the back yard.
Then I can use the portable one else where.
I still need two more eye bolts so I can hang the 4".
I will paint it once it drys, likely be a day or so as rain off and on through tomorrow.

The frame is scrap angle iron 3x3, and 3x4's it should last a while.
And still 50 yds from the back deck.

Ha! New things to shoot at! Lookin' good. I need to root around in my garage/shop for some target builds. I KNOW I have stuff in there somewhere.
Good idea Randy.

Nice! Remember nice looking fresh paint can be a bullet magnet!
Down at my range I had an old bench swing stand and used it as my big gong hanger. So far so good but does have a bullet hole or two in the legs.

The wife just left to go pick up the grandson, so I eased out on the deck.
Like forty said I felt like I should try it out, that fresh paint was calling me.
Four out of five, rushed the second shot trying to hit it while in motion.

Very nice to have that right out your back door. I have to drive 30 minutes to my shootable backyard!
Now who will be the lucky one to shoot the chain off???
What happened to one of my small gong hangers...a 5.56 drilled center hole you think?

Get a 4 inch and hang it along side that one Randy.

Old swing frame works well as the tombstone gong hanger.
