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. :lol:
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! :lol:

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. :lol:
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??? :lol:

What happened to one of my small gong hangers...a 5.56 drilled center hole you think? :lol:

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

Old swing frame works well as the tombstone gong hanger.
