I have a couple of types of steel target holders, but they all have one problem in common: They hang too low for me to comfortably use at Cascade, where I want the target to be up higher to make sure I don't hit the "deck" (level ground). I like to use steel targets for simple blasting with older rifles, since I find that fun . . . and shooting at paper targets at 100-200 yards with an old milsurp and iron sights just isn't that enjoyable for me.
I received a package in the mail today from jcvibby at JC Steel Targets, and then of course I paid a visit to Home Depot for a cheap 2x4. Here's my new target, with a gratuitous selfie thrown in so you can judge the height (I'm 5'9").     I cut the 2x4 to about 5' 6" long. That's an 8" round target. So far I'm happy with it. Now I just need to get out and try it.... _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Yes, everything that you see except the 2x4 came from JC.
