Texas Shooting Star DIY Steel Target 

Thank you twotwentyswift, appreciate your kind words mate! And yeah, pherhaps born in the wrong place with a warm heart for the shooting sports. :) There is a (terribly windy) sister video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ltYw-LIwNY0.html that might add some clarifying angles? (Apologies about the sound, only had a cellphone to film with at the time) This star worked much better than I even could imagine. I gave it away to a CAS brother for heavy duty trial and it has lived at the practice ranges and been at quite a few CAS/IPSC competitions in Northern Europe and I have yet not heard a single negative word back. Of course you have to do maintenance every now and then, change the gas dampeners like once a year. And it is ridicilously easy to do after you done the first one. (At the car recycling yards they'd trade you a stacked bucket for a bag of buns or a sixpack, mostly nice relaxed dudes at those places) Oh and a little hint, the length of the arms changes how fast it reacts/counter-reacts, so thats something you can play with. (preferably light/sturdy arms) Thanks again, Have a nice one mate! :)

Me too…and he even painted it the great colors.🇺🇸

Thanks mate, appreciate your feedback! :)

Thanks Dave, nice to get such great feedback. (Would have answered sooner if my PC had not been apart for upgrades.)

Very kind feedback, thank you Elaine. Forgive me but if you liked this maybe you would like to see my new version/new mechanism prototype here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ltYw-LIwNY0.html Safer and as far as user friendliness goes, superior. Thanks again for your feedback :)

+Jonathan Colon Howdy mate, actually I must be ashamed and confess I tried to show the details and how it is build and functions and intended this as a DIY/How to. And making and selling another has honestly never even crossed my mind. (I had a real tough time getting the above together since I dont have an garage or workspace of my own nor a trailer that I could haul around such a big piece between apartment and opportunities to borrow garages.) Speaking of travel, where u located mate? :)

+helturflippad I'm on the East coast! I'm sure u could sell these! I would hope they would be reasonable, but they look great!

+helturflippad Selling these, you would be able to build your own garage in no time!

+Jonathan Colon Hey mate, I should tell you that I constructed a new mechanism on these thats like a billion times better and likely makes everything totally absolete. You might wanna check out this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ltYw-LIwNY0.html (Mind tho the video is windy, apologies) But I think it will blow your mind mate :)) And hey, thanks for the awesome feedback mate!
