I am aware of the effects of welding on steel. My intintions were to place the welds to the sides far away from the intended point of impact. I was thinking if I hung the tragets off of chain I wouldn't need to angle them as much as they would absorbe a lot of the impact.
cut holes for the chain.
i would just buy them from the guy on here. bobcat steel. i saw a target of his the other day that another member had, and it was realy good quality stuff
cut holes for the chain.
If you want to use cable to hold it up get some schedule 80 pipe to slide over the cable or even heavy square tubing would make it last longer.
Id recommend against that. Goes back to the predictable fragmentation. The tubing is no different than mild steel.
Chains get shot in half.
We use mild steel for the revolvers, rimfire, and slow cast bullets in rifles (44-40 and other cowboy loads). I have several chunks of D2 that are years old and still taking hits, from 357/40/45 pistol to .223 to .308 rifle.
We just weld a stud on or cut a hole in the corner, and use old sections of logging chain, haven't lost one yet.
Alro Steel will sell you a 24" x 24" piece of AR-400, 5/8" thick, for just over $100.
I doubt that. I will now go away and let my tongue bleed.......
Yeah, I'd be pissed to if i paid too much for steel, or an extra pile of cash for an attachment point.
If you have receipts and or material certs I would be very interested. People do screw up, yes. Most companies of good character will honor a quote if the error is theirs. How many times have you bought at that price?
I will just about guarantee that an employee couldn't get that price on the steel.
I've bought at that price every time. A "guarantee" prefixed with "just about", isn't. Certs are shipped with each plate, just as my customers demand in a finished product, whether it be buckets, booms or track sections.
Start a thread on "predictable fragmentation", I'll just about guarantee I'll read it.
