Not sure how the others feel, but the best yield would be all squares and if there was an agreement to go 100 percent squares you would be able to get more plates to sell, less scrap/waste and maybe even a little lower price per piece. That and your cutting time would probably be reduced also.

 

Like I said I'm in for 6 round or square and all square would be my preference, all 6" pieces.

I agree with Harry, Looks like the circles produce lots of scrap. Offering Squares only will get you at least a few more targets out of the sheet, and lower cost per target.

IMO, if the circles were touching and offset, i.e. pyramid, there would be very little scrap. But adding the hanger/stand portion to either shape would increase the waste.

I like the hanger design. Again it gives the end user more mounting options. For example with the hanger I can bolt a piece of round bar to it and hang it on a rod as a swinger etc etc without putting the rod right in the line of fire. But if squares can significantly reduce the $$$ well I need squares too

I am a Realist. Round plates are a true test of accuracy. One's aim is usually to the center of the target. Misses are measured from that center. On a square plate, one could score a hit further from center than a miss was.

 

 

I agree but thats tempered by being broke 3/4 of the time LOL

What kind of frame is everyone planning on hanging these from? If someone has a design in mind please share. I would be in if I can find a nice easily transportable way to hang them. Thanks.

This is how mine is set up. Has a bracket on the back and then the clip is welded to the bracket so it can mount on the top plate.

Any word on this??
