Exercises for Shooting Plates 

Excellently done, very informative. Thank you so much. I am an old guy who shoots just for fun and was looking for some tips. This is exactly what I was looking for!

I built my own plate rack, today. My dad got me some scrap steel, from his workplace(1/4" thick, regular mild steel). I took my grinder, and some cutting discs, and made 4 - 6" x 10" plates. I had some 1" x 2" magnets ➡️⚡️⬅️, so I decided to use them, to hold my plates up. I've got one particular target 🎯 stand(I have several stands, made with saw horse brackets), that's got an 8' foot 2 x 4 across the top(the beam, that the targets hang from). So... I drilled 3 holes into a piece of 1/8" thick, by 1" wide, 6' long, flat stock steel, and screwed it into the back of the 2 x 4 beam(about halfway down, that's why I cut my plates 10" long). Then... I cut some small strips of steel, and super glued them around the outside edge of the magnets, to protect them from shrapnel. Then... I drove 2 finishing nails 🔨 underneath the plates, and a couple beside of the plates. This gives the plate a shelf to sit on, and some support on the sides(I left the nails out far enough to support the plates, while the plates are attached to the magnets). Now... The plates fly off, when I shoot 🔫 them. Everybody uses hinges, but I just wanted to try something different. It works like a charm. ♦️👍✅😜 Edit: I may end up drilling a hole in the bottom of the plates, and tie a piece of wire to them, so they won't fall all the way to the ground. 💡👌🏼 This is just for .22lr. 9mm will dent it, over time, and occasionally cause some "pitting". I have some thicker steel, for 9mm training. And, I've got some AR500 steel, for rifle work. Great shooting!

very nice, another twist that i do is put a 24 in piece of plywood or a door on a stand in front of me. staying in a box on the ground shoot 3 on the left , reload then shoot 3 on the right. or make a window in the plywood and shoot the 6 plates through it. fun stuff.

awesome video...thank you...love your gear setup
