buildit Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 We need to have an OR gun day at your house!!!While I would love to do that, I was told by my insurance agent that large groups or pay for shooting would be considered a violation of my policy. So if something bad happened.... I could end up screwed. I was told the same thing about opening up my yard for a motorcycle training area.

Just explain what you want and they will often times be very accommodating if they have scrap that meets your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Franklin Iron in Dayton has tons of "drops", spare leftovers from bulk cuts, and can be had way cheaper than new sheet or plate stocks. Do scrapyards sell as well as buy? If so, that would be the place to go. Couple manhole covers and you got some BMG backstops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Sleznicks in Canton has a cut shop. Lots of scrap laying around you can give them $5 for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple manhole covers and you got some BMG backstopsI've heard Dayton recycling does sell scrap as well as buy, but I don't know how well they'd be able to help get you the right shape or size you need. I bought the 6" discs I used for this target from a shop off 142 in Plain City.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYmJB9rDkXs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
