So quick question, how much would you guys be willing to pay for this spinner target setup if someone was making them for resell.

 

 

On the left and the right up high you have metal spinners that just spin vertically. In the middle up high you have a spinner thats quite difficult to hit but very fun to try and hit that spins horizontally.

 

Then on the bottom you got ducks and beer bottles that are actually attached to rubber straps so when you hit the target, they rock backwards but then stand straight back up again so this setup you never have to resetup your target like other .22 setups.

 

Lastly in the front there is a steel ramp that protects all of the rubber and bolts behind etc.

 

Last note, these are only for .22. The guy may do heavier steel targets down the road but wants to see if there is a market for these yet.

 

PS they will come UNPAINTED.

 

so how much would you pay for this nice made in the USA .22 target?

30-40 bucks imo

40-50 if it'll hold up to .22wmr

geez you guys are cheap. You can buy 40 dollar ones from cabelas and ish that fall apart in 3 seconds. This thing will actually last. Guess I'll tell the guy there doesn't seem to be a market for em.

I think 50 bucks is more than fair for scrap steel and rebar...

I agree on the prices, and I also dont think he can compete with the cheaper ones. While it can be made with scrap steel cutting the shapes, cleaning them up, twisting the circle targets takes alot of time. Its not worth his time

yip apparently, ill pass it along

 

Thanks guys

Thanks guys

 

 

Matt it's like a lot of things I made in the past for myself, they were very cheap to make, cost of material but if you factored in my time, it would be useless to try and do them for production due to my labor.

 

Take for example the 2 custom brackets I made of of tool steel for my hang glider brackets for my truck, very simple in design, but the time to machine them I would have had to sell them for over 200 buck to break even if I made minimum wage, but the material cost was only 10 bucks. lol

 

Harry

yeah its not me making them i don't have teh skillz lol

 

guy said he'd need like a 100 bucks to make it worth his time so clearly thats a no lol

 

M

I would pay $100+ for that easily. Much nicer than many close to that price! I'm in for one!!!

id pay 125 bucks !

 

If its made from scrap or not whats the difference ? If your going to make a item you need to figure what the material will cost!

 

Look at the time to cut , twist and weld this think together.

 

With the price of steel today you couldn't buy the material for this for 40 or 50 bucks

i would also be in for one for 100 bucks

I would pay $100.

Thanks guys I'll keep letting him know and if he decides to make them I'll post them up on here.

I may be interested, I think a Benny is fair.

What type of stand does it have?

Hey Matt can you thank the guy in the picture for having long shorts on

lmfao that was effing priceless!

You can get similar stuff from Cabellas for less than $100, less than $50 depending on what you want.

 

If you really like making them or have a lot of free steel and time then do it. If the goal is to make money then you need to have somebody in the Orient or South America to set up an operation to make them. You might be able to feed yourself making something like that, but you'll never make money unless you put it into production by others.

Hey Matt can you thank the guy in the picture for having long shorts on

Yeah, thank goodness for that

 

And I would pay $125 for it.

there is nothing in cabelas built like this. The crap you buy in cabelas I can destroy in an afternoon at the silo range. This is 1/4" plate steel and will take anything from a .22.

The stuff at Cabelas is Chinese made which is made barely strong/thick enough to take a few shots. The stuff your friend makes is clearly overbuilt, obviously the American way. The problem of course is that we (America) want it cheap but good. This (as you know) is not possible.

 

If I could see it in operation, know it would function for the rest of my life and that I could give it to my kids to use and their kids, yes, then I could see spending up to even $200 on this. I have however seen 1/4" plate steel beat to smithereens by 22s over time. How long do the elastics for the poppers last, are they commercially available and are they easy to replace or do I have to modify something over and over to get it right? Again, it goes to longevity.

 

I've recently been looking at walking targets (you hit them and they walk away from you) which I believe I saw on NJH. Those are fairly easy to make (some plate steel and a plasma cutter and then a few spot welds to hold the two pieces together).

 

If he's going to do this, and set this up to make some serious cash as a full blow business, he should also consider doing this for handgun ammo (which of course is more challenging).

Matt, I could see $100 for it. If you want bring one down and we can take it and my kids over to CJ and put it through some abuse. We could easily do 2k rounds and see how well it holds up.

I will see if I can obtain one and see what kind of punishment I can put it through. Maybe I'll have to start shooting .22's again.
