    Where can we get target holders like this?

    My club need to get new target holders for our indoor range. The current ones are about 20 years old and no one remembers where we got them. Does anyone know where we can get holders like this, or very similar?

    We'll probably have to get them made up specially, but it would be useful if they were available off-the-shelf.

    Thanks

    Looks a bit like the gamo one that contains 4 or 5 knockdowns.

    Like this. But with the front removed.

    Looks unusually wide.
    A modern single target version is the Do-All Bullet Box:

    I suspect you'll have to get them fabricated if they have to be that size.
    If they were folded from say 3mm steel plate and skipped the end plates (overkill if you use 3mm) it should be very cheap.

    Hate to disagree but after running an indoor range for ten years can I say that 3mm is not overkill unless you are only shooting 6ft.lb.

    We've moved away from 3mm in some cases as constant impact in one place by 177 and 22 pellets from 12ft.lb rifles bends it. Our LSR boxes (20 yards range) are now being fitted with 5mm backplates.

    We made a number of boxes from 12mm ply sides and a steel backplate. 177 pellets hit the backplate and shatter into tiny shards of lead which fly off sideways at roughly 90 degrees. These shards have eroded the 12mm ply and in one case we found last month, only one lamination of ply to go before there was a hole in the side of the box.

    I would suggest.....

    You try a local fabricator.

    Someone like this :

    I don't know them and have never used them but this sort of company would be able to make them for you?

    There are lots of others if you google fabricators?

    Good luck!
    If it has a trigger, I'm gonna enjoy it!
