I've always just hacked something together to shoot at when I felt like shooting. A scrap piece of plywood leaning on a couple of cinder blocks, a paper target stapled to a 2x4 post driven into the dirt, or a target taped to an old 5 gallon bucket worked fine. I bought a decent target .22 handgun for my 14 year old daughter to shoot several months ago and finally built a real target to shoot at. I'm interested in new ideas to improve my little back yard range and wondered what others here have built for themselves. Here's mine. The plywood slides into the frame from the top and can be replaced once it's shot-out. I'm using 1/4" luan but it will take up to 3/4" ply. The gongs are 8", 6", and 4". The spinner is an old one I built years ago that I could stomp into the ground re-purposed. Now let's see yours.

So... I guess I done messed things up pretty good... Here is what has happened with my 1911. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I purchased a Wilson Combat "slip on" magwell for my Kimber TLE custom II. The following occured while I was re-installing the grips. It looks as though one of the bushings cross-threaded and would no longer accept the screw properly When i tried to remove the screw, the bushing came out with it While attempting to remove the bushing from the screw with needle nose pliers, I royally messed up the bushing So now I have no bushing in the top right side of my gun, and thus no screw. What do I do? Does a gun-smith need to install a new bushing? Does anyone have a recommended gunsmith in the central NJ area I can bring this to? Thanks.
