About LinkBacksAt the farm I had eight circular Hardox 450 gongs set up. The gongs were 4 inches, 6 inches and ten inches in diameter and were suspended between Warratah standards placed at various distances to provide a one MOA or less target area. They are going in for some maintenance today and then the challenge is to find another place to erect them.

Norway likes this.It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

They look like good hang points on those targets. The 4"needs some attention

Yep they hang so the projectile deflects straight down when it hits. The only issue is that the lugs are mild steel so if you get a hit on one it tends to smash it about a bit or breaks the weld. That is why the need for maintenance. Originally Posted by Neckshot

Worst that will happen then is the chain could get hit and bust.

Only problem Pete is the angle starts to get a little steep on the far targets. I don't mind fixing them from time to time, doesn't take me long and keeps me out of trouble. Originally Posted by P38

That is a bloody good idea Pete. I will discuss that possibility today. Originally Posted by P38
