PRS Talk New Baracade

[Fig]

So, I’ve been working on a new barricade that I can haul around more easily and that’s more solid that the one I was using, which was a 3/4” plywood type, and had fixed supports.

This is what I’ve got so far (pretty much done except for finish work):

Now that I’m ready to sand and paint I’m having second thoughts. I framed out the baracade and then sheeted it with 1/8 veneer. I permanently mounted carriage bolts from the inside of the outside studs. You can see on that bottom one that’s exposed). I used steel angle and then braced the feet. Now that I’m done this thing is so solid that I don’t think I’ve ever shot off one this solid at a match...!?!? I guess when I put it together I can leave the wingnuts loose so it isn’t so solid...? Maybe I overthought/overbuilt this?

I just finished up my barricade on Saturday. I used the 6.5 Guys plans on their website. The way it's done, there's no hardware necessary for it to stand on it's own. It allows the barricade to be pretty stable, but still allows for some wobble.

Here's the plans.

pics or it didn't happen.
Mine is similar. My removable feet are a lot wider, and I think the steel makes them a lot more stable...maybe too stable.

I'll post up a pic tonight. I don't have any with me. I have it set up in the garage and was doing some dry fire last night. It worked pretty well.

Worked on mine today. Still have the feet to go. Also got a rooftop simulator done also. The roof pitch worked out to be 7/12 or 30degrees.

Here's mine that I forgot to post a picture of.

Just got the legs on. Now for some rope in one of the cutouts.
