They are very nice and we'll built. Stand mine in front of my bullet trap to shoot indoors. I have a ton of 1/4 inch dots for the paddles. Have no image storage as my website of 12 years just got crazy expensive. Have Amazon photos but have not learned how to post from it yet. CHEERS!

Finally got my two targets. Nicely made and certainly robust. Even with my 10.7 ft/lb TX, the spinners spin nicely when hit. My targets are set up with a 1.5, 1, 3/4, 1/2 and 3/8" spinners. I have the 1/4" on the outside of the frame just to frustrate people who try to hit it at 30 yards in the wind. :twisted:

I set it out at 30 yards and there is certainly some challenge there when you get down to the 1/2" and 3/8" targets. The fact that the wind was quartering towards me at 15 to 20 kph did not make it easier. Sure was fun to hold about 3/8" high and 1/2" right and smack that 3/8" target, making it spin like crazy. If doing that doesn't put a smile on your face, I'm not sure what will. :D

Great target, Rob.

Here is the 1/10 KYL Silhouette target I got from Rob G.
I went to Home Depot and got some 3/4" conduit for the four legs and cross beam. Also grabbed an old shower curtain rod for spacers and 3mmx25 SHCS to fix the legs onto the A frames.
Well the results speak for themselves. Beautiful/quality target as always from Rob G.ImageImage

It's for sub-500 guns/pistols. Even 12 fpe guns will deform it.

Looks like the silhouettes aren't single distance scaled, so if you shoot them from one distance you will not get a good feel for how challenging the further targets are. Just FYI.

I am not so concerned with the actual scale used. The fun part of KYL is it gets progressively smaller and tougher. All I care about is how well the targets stand up to repeated hits from 20 fpe guns at any distance.
Knowing the size of the largest paddle, I will likely put the Silhouette target at close to 55 yards outdoors to shoot. Since my primary goal is to shoot FT competotion successfully, this is a fun target for practice, especially in the wind.

The silhouettes are 1/10 scale. As KYL the intention was to get more difficult as you work your way across the rack. The blade on the end is 1/4" wide. With 5 racks you could put common racks out at the prescribed air rifle distances for a more traditional silhouette shoot. The nice thing about the swingers is no collecting and resetting.

I have a set of 5 racks of 1/20 scale that I can use either as a mixed rack KYL or a common rack put out at different distances. I prefer to put the 1/20 scale mixed racks out from 25yd to 55yd for practice. Hitting them at 50yd is very satisfying. The 1/20 scale was made to be shot from a FT position, thus the smaller size.
