lol yeah that was pretty bad.

sits on top of the frame....I'll just post a picture tmrow. but it meets all the dimensions so it should be fine. Looking sideways the frame is the solid line and the 12'' legs are the non solid. ________------ So the legs are not inline with the frame I screwed the 12'' peice into the frame but it the sits on top..thats really the only way to do it unless you have like 14" screws!

The right way to do it is if you take a 12" piece and line it up with two 2x2x10" pieces not in a perpendicular way but so they kind of line up if you look at it from the side with two screws but just one washer per side as long as the wood isn't too soft on top of it when you screw it in so you can get a good fastener with all the pieces of wood when it gets put together. So all that's needed is a piece of cardboard where the wood meets near the top of it when its standing or laying down for that matter just as long as it's kind of straight where it sits on top of the metal pieces. Don't worry if the angle isn't right as long as the wood is soft enough to screw a screw into but not too soft where it meets near the bottom. And if its too soft just pick up another piece of wood to brace it near the middle of the two side pieces but below the top piece and above the bottom piece when you put it on.

Yeah I would add/remove material inorder to get it to fit correct but the rest can just be whatever?

remove a tad

you can also just buy a frame at Young Guns or Windward Gun Shop.

Heading to the range today.
 
For the pistol range, can I use my rifle frame?  or do I need another frame for pistol shooting.

damn.  young guns does not have them in stock :(.
Just go Home Depot and make one, not that hard. If you think about it, all you need is the side posts and cardboard. Put the posts in the stand and staple the cardboard on the wood. It holds, I do it all the time. It also makes transportation easier.

Thanks for the information, but I ended up getting one from Security Equipment for $16.  First time shooting my pistol at the range in three years, and  I put more rounds in the frame then the actual target  ;D.  It would be a cheaper choice just to build my own frame and work on my trigger pull.  Sort of hard not to jerk the trigger when you got that trigger safety in your way.

Koko head shooting range was run very professionally and the staff was real friendly and helpful.  Will definitely be there next month :shaka:

Duct tape is awesome. Did you see the Mythbusters episode on duct tape?

I agree! My first time going, and the wife came with. One staff member was a little grumpy because I signed the wait list before signing the log book. No big deal. Found out the ol 22 needs to be sighted in, my new frame is heavily modified now. :wacko: The AR did awesome. (new build)

I was hitting my frame lol.  Once i took my cardboard off my frame fell apart, so i just put it in the scrap pile.  Now that i have seen the range i know how to build the frame.  There were also a couple left over frames that were in much better shape then mine.  Did get warned not to cross the yellow line when i went to grab my empty ammo boxes.  Looking forward to trying out my new parts next much.  Will be practicing in the meantime

The wife and I had our own targets on the same frame, upper and lower. We both aimed center mass and hit the frame in two spots. We started aiming low and left after we could see where we were hitting.lol Sure enough, we hit the black. The scope on the 22 only cost me $20. You get what you pay for. The AR has iron sights,there was a learning curve on that one too. Aim low and center, good to go. :thumbsup:

The wife was reminded not to cross the yellow line when just standing there, toes hanging over. They are very self aware about what's going on. For the most part, I took a couple steps back behind the yellow line when a cease fire is called.Over safe/aware if you will, to the point of being annal. One shooter got yelled at on the microphone "not to touch anything and get behind the line."

The whole range thing is new to me. On mainland the guys bring a bunch of bottles of water,cans of soda, watermelons,Good Will dinner plates, or clay pigeons. Yeah, the kinda stuff that blows up or makes a mess.

This trip was a good learning experience

Haha nice, I finally shot thru my first handgun frame on Saturday. I'm surprised it lasted this long with so many holes in it.

The rotating objective is nice so you don't have to get up to check where you hit.
