Steel Target Question

hmm.. thanks for the replies everyone... I might just have to give it a try! Yep, I always wear my eye and ear protection.

I've got a question about shooting steel targets. Oh... btw... talking about pistols here...

I did a search, but all I could find was that people DO shoot them, but not HOW they shoot them....

Reason I ask, although I will go to the public range to shoot when I need to sight something in, or just dont have the time, but my preferred shooting is out at the "ranch". We will load up some groceries and chairs and just go make a family fun day out of it. We take reg shilouette targets, cans, etc.

The important things are eye protection for everyone, even people not shooting, and distance to reduce the risk from splash back. You can get spinners for 22s at Academy. Very fun for kids.

If you know someone who welds, they can make gongs from steel plate with two attach points, and you can hang them from tree branches for your run and gun idea. Make sure you have a good backstop in all directions you would shoot.
