Re: steel quail egg targets
Those look pretty cool! I wonder how much more they'd be if made from AR500 just for greater longevity/durability.

Re: steel quail egg targets
ar500 steel would be nice but think how much fun you would have if you made a polish plate rack or a Texas star out of it

Re: steel quail egg targets
for rimfire targets I would think that 3/8 AR 400 would be plenty. PM me if you are interested in having some made.

Regular old A36 works fine for 22lr. No need for AR500.

Re: steel quail egg targets
I made the above Egg Rack (these are the size of chicken eggs) to use as practice for our annual egg shoot. I just used 1/4" common strap iron that I cut the eggs from. So far the only damage they have suffered is a loss of paint. The grand kids and I burnt up 150 rounds at them a few Saturdays ago.

Re: steel quail egg targets
Sweet setup Larry. Is that just a threaded rod with PVC to seperate the swingers?

Re: steel quail egg targets
Thanks
It is just a 1/2" rod, not threaded. The Cross road is 4' long and the pieces of PVC are 7" to space the swingers apart. I used 1/4"x1" x 12" long flat iron for the hangers. As you can see they are welded on the back of the eggs on edge so only the 1/4" width is visible to the shooter. A 9/16" hole is drilled towards the top for the cross road to slip through.
