Quirk Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Sorry if this is wrong place for this question. I'm looking to buy a swinging target stand for practicing. One for both dry fire and live fire use. I liked MGM's https://mgmtargets.com/tactical-targets/mgm-swinger but it's expensive. Any other popular sources? Thank!

Quirk Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 thanks for the info, the .GT Target Fellow replied back. The "mini swinger" is the fast one,,,I will probably be ordering one of those shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I made my own using the idler pulley off of a Toyota Tacoma. The perks of owning a welder, obviously. Actually works as well as any of the commerical ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quirk Old and grainy, but here you are: Bolt the center of the pulley to the stand, weld a piece of angle iron across the face of the pulley to begin the target frame... and hang some form of heavy steel plate underneath, tacking it and moving it around until it moves the speed you want. Armor the pulley with angle or flat plate, too. (Not shown, added before delivery) This is six years old, and the second shooter to ever fire at it managed to center-punch the armor in front of the pulley. No one has hit it since he did, however!

hornetx40 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Your weight should be movable so you can change the speed of the swing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be. This was a KISS design used at short distances on an indoor range, so I set it for a faster swing and welded it down solid.
