You'll need to brace/frame it with 2x4's.
If you get two holes in it and a gust of wind smacks it, the stuff will fold

Our gun club has two meets a year.

About every third year we can get on a range that allows us to shoot
more than 600 yards.

We call these shoots our 8541 meets.

For a long time we shot straight military targets but the paper would
often flap in the wind.

This year we are shooting at 800 yards and we are gluing the paper
targets to 1/2" MDF.

This should settle down the wind factor.

I am making these targets.

I wish that I could figure out a way to cheat.

On Sunday evening I will give you a full report of how MDF stands up
to 30 caliber ammunition.

It is important to us wooddorkers to know how our materials stand up
to hard use.

(The club is restricted to shooters of the 1903-A3 Springfield - the
best rifle ever made)


watson - who hopes that Jim Clarke, who is 81 years old, will not kick
his ass again - too badly.
