Down Range Dummies

admin

A local range asked me to build some hangers for them. People shoot them all the time and they wanted something durable and cheap. I found that the old hangers would get hit a lot in the joint where the top of the hanger was welded to the lower half so I added a deflector there and I hope it works. If you can think of anything else just let me know.BTW they are paying with a case of Winchester 5.56 frangible ammo. That is worth more than I was going to charge in the first place, shhhh.  Attached ImagesI carry guns because cops are too heavy. .. ..-.   -.-- --- ..-   - .... .. -. -.-   .... .- .-. -..   . -. --- ..- --. ....   -.-- --- ..-   -.-. .- -.   ..-. .. --. ..- .-. .   .- -. -.-- - .... .. -. --.   --- ..- -

Reply:I have been known to try and make the hanger swing  That was just with handguns, though (9mm or smaller), so I don't think I was doing any damage. Ours had deflectors like those. Nice work!
Reply:I typically use 3 inch wide 1/2 inch plate on edge for hangers.  Bevel the leading edge and they last a few years.  Not sure exactly how they are using the ones pictured,  I use a single vertical for 'gongs' (6-10-18 inch slices of cold roll) and a double on shelves for pin etc.When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.

Reply:Kudos on the worlds best father daughter bonding time, I can not wait until my girls get just a little older.  FOr something like that where weight would become an issue I would still suggest using strap instead of bar stock.  Maybe 1/4 by 2 and bevel the leading edge.  With a moderately sharp face then anything other than a square center hit will deflect and you would be able to "erase" the occasional ding from a good hit with a grinder.  Pull them down every few weeks and touch up the edges untill they get down to 3/4 of an inch or so then replace.When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives.
