steel targets

[calib]

can you guys who have made your own, bought or used steel targets post pictures of them?
i got a bunch of steel and am wanting to make a handfull of each: pd, crow, rabbit, bobcat, maybe a fox, coyote.
i am thinking on the bigger ones like the bobcat, fox, coyote there will be a swinging vital set up, but on the others i would like to make or find a cheap base set up that would make them auto ressetting.

anything would be great

Here is the stand. The tall rod is a reset stop that lets
the hog lay back horozontal, stops recoil, then
bounces him back up to a vertical position.
This is my favorite target.

The lower black portion is a counter-weight
that keeps 'Ole Chuckie' in a vertical position.

Junebug & I were doing head shots only from 500 yd

Two hits from 1680 yd.

What does the spring in the rear do?

What does the spring in the rear do?

I looks to me to be a old broken tooth off a Swathers reel for picking up hay, and he has just run it down through the hole in the back leg so it does't move around, of course that is just a guess.

The spring is a hay rake tooth. I just push it in the ground as an anchor.
Wayne was correct. Good thinking wayne!
