Shoot Anywhere With Your Homemade Target!

This video discusses the creation and potential production of a half-scale steel target system. Initially a shop project made from scrap AR 400 steel, the target proved popular, prompting plans for a commercial launch. The planned production version will use 3/16 AR 400 steel and be offered at an "awesome price point."

This video focuses on the construction of a "Phoenix Plate Rack." The description provides a direct link to purchase the product from tatargets.com. While the video title suggests a 'how-to' build, the provided information doesn't detail specific firearms or calibers used in conjunction with the rack. The content appears to be primarily product-focused, demonstrating or explaining the assembly of this specific piece of shooting equipment.

This video demonstrates a DIY method to reinforce target stand uprights against shrapnel damage. The creator installs custom-cut steel plates onto the sides of the uprights to prevent further degradation from bullet impacts. The approach prioritizes protecting the base of the uprights embedded in concrete, while the upper, more easily replaceable sections are left exposed.

This guide details how to create a reusable shooting target stencil using birch plywood. The process involves tracing and cutting out target zones like the brain box, heart box, and pelvis box, allowing for custom target creation. The stencil can be used with spray paint for efficient target marking, offering a durable alternative to paper targets, especially in adverse weather conditions. The instructor emphasizes the importance of thinking for oneself and adapting training methods.

This video showcases a DIY project to build a dueling tree target using AR500 steel plates. The creators detail the process of purchasing the steel and welding it together, highlighting the design choice of a non-spring system that relies on plate angle for resetting. They identify a need to adjust the angle further towards the shooter to prevent paddles from bouncing back after impact. A crucial safety tip emphasizes the importance of eye and ear protection when shooting at dueling trees.

This guide, informed by Roy Huntington, Editor of American Handgunner Magazine, details the critical differences between buckshot and birdshot for home defense. It covers their physical characteristics, penetration capabilities through walls, and effectiveness at close range. The advice emphasizes choosing a load based on concerns about over-penetration while stressing the universal importance of training, target identification, and using a light for any home defense scenario.

This guide details the field stripping process for a 1911 pistol, presented by Roy Huntington, Publisher of American Handgunner. It covers essential safety checks, step-by-step disassembly, and reassembly, emphasizing techniques to prevent damage. An alternative 'cheat' method for faster disassembly is also demonstrated, along with advice on using specialized tools for tight components.

This video showcases an exceptionally rare find: a first-generation 1873 Colt Single Action Peacemaker, discovered via metal detecting in Arizona. The expert speaker details its museum-quality condition, dating it to 1875, and analyzes the authentic patina and wear, including specific gutta-percha grip details and muzzle wear from holster friction. The firearm's discovery context among homestead ruins adds to its historical narrative.

This guide, presented by Roy Huntington, Editor of American Handgunner Magazine, outlines an efficient '5-minute clean' for modern semi-automatic pistols like the Glock 26/27. It emphasizes that over-cleaning is unnecessary and can cause premature wear. The process focuses on targeted cleaning of critical areas like the barrel and slide rails, with minimal lubrication applied only to high-friction points. Proper function checks after reassembly are also highlighted.
