[QUOTE="BrandonM, post: 1529267, member: 6435"] It aint auto cad, but here are the dimensions. Everything labeled as 2" is 1/4"x2" mild steel strap. The rest is 3/16" mild steel plate. I had the plate on hand. It is fine for no more than the .22, but if I was to design it and purchase the material specifically for this build I would use 1/4" plate all the way. The round targets are 3/8" thick and are welded to a 6.5" long 1/4"x2" strap with a 3/4" hole drilled into the top for the 3/4" solid steel rod they swing on. I used washers welded into place on the 3/4" rod on either side of the 2" strap to hold the targets in place left to right, but allow for swinging. Since I mounted the 3/4" rod as high as possible in the box I had to grind the top back edge of the strap used to hold the targets so the 90 degree angle didn't hit the backstop before the long 6.5" edge. Hopefully this all makes sense. If not ask some more questions and I can clarify or take more pictures for those interested. <a href="http://s957.photobucket.com/albums/ae59/twssosa/?action=view&current=22bullettrapjpg.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i957.photobucket.com/albums/ae59/twssosa/22bullettrapjpg.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> [/QUOTE]
