After a question on the member side about a swinging target able to withstand 5.56, I was contacted by a member here, cerberus. He has a side thing where he builds pistol swinging targets. He thought he could get one built that would stand up to the rigors of 5.56. We talked delivery and pricing, all handled professionally. He came up with the concept, I placed a down payment so he could begin the build. Along the way he provided updates and progress via communication and pics.

He completed the project in the desired time for the desired price. We talked about delivering the target, he drove from his home, to the range where I am a member, not a 10 minute jaunt for him because he wanted to see firsthand how it performed.
He arrived, we went over how to set the target up, then walked it down range.
After thumping on it for a bit, another walk down range was in order to check out how the target fared
Considering what the target was up against it did rather well
Now, this is not indestructible, I understand that, there are clips, bolts and framework, that if they take a hit will need to be replaced or repaired. That is not an issue with the design in as much as a result of a 3,000 fps projectile being hurled at the target.
All in all I am very pleased with the result and happy I made this purchase.

Would be pretty impressive it fended off the green tips that well!
