Cuz Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) I'm looking for a durable single clay target holder for a shotgun match. I know a lot of you skilled guys are making your own, but I'm not one of those guys. I found a lot of holders online, that don't look durable enough to survive a shotgun match, and only two that look like they would. MGM Targets makes makes a set of 6 for $152 which look very nice, but are expensive. GT Targets makes a set of 12 for $120 which is much more reasonable: http://www.gttargets.com/ShotGunand3GunTargets.htm I just can't find any decent pics of reviews online. I know both MGM and GT make good stuff and sponsor lots of shooting events. Is anyone out there using the GT Target holders and if so, can you provide any feedback as to their longevity and durability? Also, if there's another manufacturer out there making decent/durable single clay target holders please pass along some info or a link. Thanks, -Cuz Edited August 12, 2022 by Cuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Ok, if nobody is using these, what are you all using for single clay target holders that are durable enough to hold up for a match? If you are making your own, please provide some details and pics if possible so I can try and find someone local to make some for me.

Chills1994 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 If you give me a day or two, I have a prototype that I started on like 10 years ago that I can post a pic or two of. I never did get around to finishing it. I am not saying it is better or worse than any of the current designs. Just different. I don’t know what GT targets charges for shipping and handling, but 10 bucks each is super CHEAP! In my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuz Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 Thanks for the info Nolan. I'm still wondering if anyone is actively using any of those holders, and if so, how do they work? I did send GT Targets an email asking about shipping but haven’t heard back. Might have to give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I think it was going to be around $400+ to ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Squirrel, yeah, I talked to Karl, he was very cooperative, gave me a couple of dates he was coming up to the Sig Academy in September and October if I wanted to have him drop anything off to save on shipping.

Chills1994 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I know it’s been a few weeks, but I finally remembered to take a pic(s). My idea about 10 years ago was to make my own stakes…maybe out of rebar???. Then a square hollow tube would get welded onto the back with a threaded nut and bolt with a T handled welded on it. The square tube would be oriented on the vertical axis. It would slip over the (rebar???) stake. Then a few twists of the T handled bolt locked it in place height wise on the stake.

Noah Gladstone Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I use this clay holder and many other GT products they are all great. The clay holder is suitable for match use with no issues. Karl is great to deal with and stands behind his products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
