Homemade .22 Reactive Targets Post Yours

The walking targets are a great idea! I'm going to have to make a couple asap, my 9 year old son will enjoy shooting them as much as I will!

I found the walking tarets on eBay for $20 plus shipping

I'm curious if they could be made for less ?

Any idea how much would steel and waterjet cutting cost?

At $20 its not worth making them, but shipping costs are the unknown factor that might make it worthwhile.

From my steel supplier they wanted $100 for a 20' length of 1/4" x 6" flat bar and you could probably make around 20 targets with that much steel so it could be made cheaper if you can get the cutting done for a decent price.

What is typically cheaper waterjet or laser? Looking to make a bunch of the walking targets up.

I would say CNC Plasma is probably the cheapest but you will have to call your local welding/machine shop to get a real idea of the cost.

Maybe you can figure out how to make a properly operating duelling tree. It would be the ultimate in 2 shooter fun.
