So i pulled the trigger (haha) and bought myself a pistol. Its my first handgun ive ever owned and honestly....i cant shoot it for shit.
Part of it is the gun itself, i bought a taurus 856 revolver. Its a 2inch snub nose .38 special (yes, i went old school). I plan on getting my CPL and carrying mainly up north on trail rides, as well as having it in the house for defense.
Either way, i wanna build a stand to put these bad ass targets i bought on....they look like this if youre wondering...
So anyways...im trying to decide if i wanna use weighted PVC pipe for the stand...or 2x4s...im leaning toward 2x4s at the minute but what do you guys think?
And then the backer for the target....i was thinking OSB board but will that splinter to bad? Stopping the bullet isnt a huge deal as i shoot in front of a big hill that stops it.
Any input?
