Something you might consider is hanging your plates off on chains. It would save on wood and have less chance of ricochets off fixed steel. In some of the pictures some of the people are fairly close to the targets. I've been hit by jackets off steel targets that were fixed at greater distances.
Targets are all faced downwards with springs.

I really wish I had a skid-steer to work on my range. I have my tractor but it's just aint got enough juice to get thru the clay. At least in this lifetime.
Oh...I could probably use some skills as an equipment operator, too. I'm sure that would help.
Your range looks really nice!

I had to hire a guy to bring in the dirt and use the skid steer.
Good job. I couldn't tell from the pictures. I couldn't help myself after being a health and safety union steward for 10 years.
Very nice!
I would really recommend that you get away from T Posts. They are ricocheting MoFos! Go all woood or use them to hang chains on and keep the t posts wide away from the swinging targets.
If memory serves the mounts you are using on the T Posts are designed to be mounted on 2x2 wood. I have some of them and cut a 2x4 down or buy 2x2s.
You have a great looking range!

Online they definitely market T-post target mounts. But I’m with you.. in my experience they ricochet a lot, especially with .22lr
Yes, they are designed for T-posts.
