Dirt Merchant # 61422 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'm just hoping it's a shotgun target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dang It Dan 13202 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'm just hoping it's a shotgun target Nah, pistol. Kidding. Actually this was version 2.0. I modified it so it goes faster (yes faster) and all the birds are on the same plane. Version 2.1 would have been the one we were going to use at TLS. Oh well. Maybe I will donate it to whomever steps up and takes on the Florida State match this coming year. Who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Looks like a pretty cool target. I know it will show up at some match or another........I can't wait to shoot at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Brady #24830Life Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I LIKE it! If in the future we can use it, will give you a call :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockingbird, SASS #22893 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Like it without target in same plane, much tougher. A local club uses this sort of spinner with 4 clay birds (in same plane) but obscures it partially behind hay bales, so you have to wait for the remaining birds to appear. Very fun.

BJT Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I assume the solution is to aim for the hub, if you do not break a bird with the splatter then you might stop the rotation by buggering up the mechanism....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice try. Version 2.1 has a gaurd in front of the hub and a splatter gaurd over the bearings. I try to build things that really are bullet proof.

Put that on Stage One. Seriously Zack, don't give Sharpshooter any ideas - he has enough of those on his own. Looking forward and scared to shoot this one some day.

Looking forward and scared to shoot this one some day. Don't worry - it's much faster now . Let's just say that if you are prone to getting dizzy, you might want to sit down to shoot it. Now what do I do with the 4' stars I cut out?? Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
