OKCGC Saturday April 30th All Shotgun Match

The pipe on the stages today looked like 2" EMT electrical conduit.
It may have been fence post material. They are similar in size.

FYI, there is a place in Sand Springs OK. that sells tubing. Its a little heavier wall thickness than what we shot today, but not much. They sell off their drop really cheap if they are still in business. Been a few years since I bought from them.
 
I have enough broken galvanized fence posts to keep y'all going for a long time...

What choke was most folks running on the X stage? I'd have been tempted to run a full on that one.
IC out of a 26" gun using 1300fps AA's. I shot Top, bottom, back of top on the spinner.

The end/corner posts are what we shot. The galvanized stuff I bought from ACE Saturday is thin. When the WAD hit them big dents where the result. I had targets setup at 7-10 yards. Using any choke at all throws the pipe a long way which was a problem. Guys running LM shooting the inside 12 yards and closer tossed them 5-10 yards making them hard to find.

I had some black corner posts which are a bit thicker. They held up a little better in terms of wad hits as well as flying to the moon when shot with too tight of a choke.

If you have any of the larger diameter end/corner post I'll gladly take them off your hands.
 
In that case, I probably don't have the right type. Mine couldn't withstand a little afternoon breeze.

Also, what I said about mowing a lawn in an EF-0 was not really factual...

What did y'all think of the fence post targets?

The end/corner posts are what we shot. The galvanized stuff I bought from ACE on Fruday is kinda thin. When the WAD hit them big dents where the result. I had targets setup at 7-10 yards. Using any choke at all throws the pipe a long way which was a problem. Guys running LM shooting the inside 12 yards and closer tossed them 5-10 yards making them hard to find.

I like the cost of these things but durability concerns me. One target cost roughly $1.25. 25 people shot them and a few are junk. That's $.05/shooter. That's roughly half the price of using a clay pigeon target for each shooter. The targets react like a clay which is what I like. One BB will knock them over. Unfortunately you can't set them very close 7-10 yards or the wad hits with ruin them pretty quickly.

Let me know talks thoughts before I stock up I more of them before the July match.
 
I liked them.
You could tap them back into a rough circle with a hammer to get more use out of em. As long as they stand, they're a usable target.
 
Better than the gas pipe we used to use that would just get heavier as more shot gets embedded in it with each shooter.
 
I noticed some had a bit of overspray on them marking the stands with fluorescent marking paint. There were a few times that was the reason I was able to find them after Tony knocked them 75 yards into the forest! ;) If we stacked them on the side and hit the ends with that paint enough should get on the inside to make them easier to find. We could also drill some of them and make a lanyard/leash with a piece of 22g wire to drop over the stand for the ones near the dense brush and high grass.
