We are looking at buying some moving targets / different targets for our pistol range. (We are hoping to source them in Canada if at all possible to cut on shipping).

So far we have found a dealer that has a Texas Star ~$1200 but here is the catch... cheapest dueling trees we found in Canada to date are $1800 plus?? I looked up dueling trees in the US (same rating: magnum pistol rounds) and they run $400 or so. HUGE difference, no???

Anyways I'd appreciate some input on target types and sources.

Thanks,
 
order them from the USA, shipping is not that expensive, and find a buddy with a plasma cutter.... a 4'x8' sheet of 1/2" ar500 runs about $1200 right now and can make alot of targets.
 
May have to go to the USA afterall unless someone offers up some more info. We have been looking on youtube as well. Once we get a few different models, I am certain we can make get some of our members skilled in metal work / welding to make some targets of our own.

Regards,

Contact the pistol chair at Mission Rod and Gun in BC. They installed a mover for Bianchi last year.

This....I just bought a texas star (they call it a whirl gig) from mgm for my club....$750 all in Canadian....free shipping inside the US, so if you are anywhere near the border it is a good deal, I think to ship to direct to me, it was another $80
