Slanted steel targets.

[Darto]

i.e. not vertical but tipped forward so that bullets bounce of towards the ground. The general idea with chains: use spacers on the bolt so the chain is fastened a greater distance behind plate, like the attached image, target kit.jpg (which is a diagram made by shootingtargets7).

If not using a chain, such as cheaper bungee cord, I need a good way to attach bungee to a bolt behind the plate, instead of bungee cord attached to the plate hole (in order to slant the plate).

One way occurs to me, use something like this:

Bolt goes through the steel plate, spacers added on bolt, and then bolt goes through one hole of the tie link and bungee hooks into the other tie link hole?

I'm cheap so hang em like that, works fine until you hit a bolt, then you have a spinner

For a bungee I think the tie link idea might work well

^ ha .. diamond braid rope is my preferred method of hanging plates. As long as you keep it out of the spall zone it is amazingly durable. Much better than chain.. cheaper and easier to replace.

The 'link' to the plate i use is a strip of old tire that i cut and put 2 holes in. The tire and rope can take dozens of hits. Added bonus is the tire strips flexes the plate to slight downward angle and keeps rope behind spall

Id say bungies might be too sloppy. And a metal tie will get swiss cheesed

use my st7 link for free stuff, lol. VVV

The bullseye targets come with the chain/bolt setup for downward angle. Hell of a deal. those chains and bolts are $$$$ @ the hardware store
