Made me some steel target frames today.
Scrap steel I had laying around. The cross bar for the orange targets is a bent trailer axle I just replaced. The top is old bush hog blades I cut and welded to angle iron.
Might not be pretty but it didn’t cost me a dime
Targets I already had. 1/2 AR500.
Make a note. Ar500 will play hell on a drill bit.
The boar target I made years ago as a knock over. Decided to drill two holes to bolt the chain. Didn’t take long to realize I need to fire up a plasma cutter.
But all said and done. I now have swingers at 200, 300, around 500 yards.
Each one has a boar and at least one square or round Gong.
Next project is making myself a charging target. From about 100 yards out to 10-15 yards from me. Not sure how to go about it.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
