[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 147641, member: 25"] If you setup farther out consider placing your steel plates side by side touching so you get a larger target that will catch bullets easier. I would paint them white, the bullet splats will show up much better. Hang the targets close to the ground, you want to catch low shots and don't want them to go under the steel. I would also consider using S-hooks and either light chain or old pieces of fire-hose. The hose can be mooched from any fire-fighting sources, they throw away a lot of older stuff. We have a very simple stand that you might consider, easy to make and dirt cheap. If someone would like to post an image I can email it. Remember that the farther out you go the larger the steel you will need but your bullet energies will be diminishing so you may get by with thinner steel sheets. [/QUOTE]
