  • I have a couple kits that came from Owl Creek Fabrication. They use 100% American made AR500 steel, and cut the steel with a CNC laser.. Awesome targets!

    I use 5ft sticks so i can get 4 targets center sections per 20ft stick of angle iron. I measure 8.5 inches from the front of each tube to the front of next tube. This is in case you cut your own tubes and cut one too short. Never measure from the rear .of one tube to the front of the next because it will be slightly off if the tube is shorter or longer. . I do like you do for the base tubing but mine are only 6-7" long. I drill a hole and weld a 1/2" nut recessed some. I use a 3" long 1/2" bolt with a piece of small flat bar welded as a wing on top of the bolt. This way you can snug it down tight by hand. I make these occasionally on the side. I have sold about 10-15 of them. I also make some smaller .22 A36 steel on 1.25x1.25 angle iron. I use 3/16 thick for those. Measurements for those are slightly different.

    very nicely done dueling tree - i bet that would be expensive if bought retail

    Have you tried 22lr on this setup? Curious if itd be able to flip the plates/how many quick shots.
  • @jon316love9
    How long was your square tubing that’s supporting the angle iron? Thanks. Good job on the tree!
  • @jimgandee2570
    The angle is to steep. I think you added incorrectly. When you stated you wanted an 18* forward leaning angle you drew 72* on your plans. I think that should have been 82*.

    Great video. Very informative, but ... that range needs a backstop.
  • @nateboyce1
    Whats the smallest pistol caliber that will knock them to the other side? Did you try 22lr?
  • @daveellison4913
    Stupid question but...is the square iron the same 1 1/2' as the angle iron or does it need to be larger, if so what size. Thanks
