Thread: Anyone know where i can get a spinner target in NZ?

Surely one of the pistol clubs already has one of these? @R93 have you seen on at a pistol club?

No mate. Not for centerfire rifle. Seen smaller versions for pistol.
Think we even have one.

Interested in some plates as well , just square jobbies

Something like this to reduce waste steel. I would keep both spinners and the smaller gongs, everything else I would likely put up for sale.

try the Green party - they got plenty of "spinners".

Maybe you could use a green politician, im sure they would "react"to a hit.

I'm keen on some plates if there are any going.

I'm wondering if it's worth costing the plate unit alone. The frame and counterweight is more manageable locally for some of us; it's the profile cutting of the specialist steel where a bulk order will at least distribute the computer time etc

Just a thought....

will get a price soon and scare you later.

Yes, absolutely expecting the price will be scary. JC targets have them at US$400 without postage so that equates to NZ$550 each - so i expect the price to come in about this for the spinners each. Of course i have no idea what the bearing would be worth and i would expect a good quality sealed bearing would be good for it as it will be outdoors in any weather.

All up i would expect there is something like NZ$1500 worth of targets in there...

Ideas on one for a. 22 / 17hmr out to 100m? Could spend hoooooouuuuuurrrrssss on one of the them with the 22, not too mention the ammo costs....

Will see what favours I can pull for you @Gillie

Not my pic, I flogged it from another Forum member!

$550 buys a lot of ammo

Would take some thinking... i think 6mm mild steel would be good enough from about 40m out. Size of the targets would be something like a 100mm target on the bottom and a 75mm target on top. Not sure about the dimensions, particularly the distance between the pivot and the targets.

@223nut
Knocked this up a while back and the boy spends hours plinking. I'm going to add another plate on the back for the recochet off the top edge. Disk is 6mm m/s welded on angle facing done. Digs quite a trench after a while

Having the plate angled by as little as 10 degrees significantly reduces damage and gives better ricochet control on any steel target.
