So after going to the store a few months back and realizing how much these things go for, I decided I could make them just as good for a lot less money. So I bought the material, and had the blank swingers laser cut at a local vendor that I have used at my past employer.
I have some time on my hands this week after losing my job last Friday, so with some help I fabbed up a bending jig, and a weld fixture and started making them. The swingers are hand bent using a torch and a clamp. The steel rod is formed in a scratch made bender specifically made for this. We also set up a weld fixture that was scratch made just for this target.
I just have to clean them up, and paint them, I only bought enough for 8. I hope to have better photos and have them up in the classifieds by the weekend sometime.
I have some ideas for a cheap take down rifle swinger that I want to work on next.
The photos are all from a cell phone, I don't want to risk my good camera out in the shop.
