Just an FYI.... Standard Field Targets are usually made of 3/16" steel plate to stand up to the 20 FPE guns allowed.... They are tested to fall with a hit of 5 FPE.... less if they are to be used at a non-PAL meet....

Nice work. If you can get them to drop at 4.2 fpe, you'd have a bigger market with the sub-500 crowd...
i was knocking the proto with my sub pal phantom as well , i had no problem so far but obviously the test phase is not yet compleded.
3mm is almost 3/16 it's actualy right in betwin 1/8 and 3 /16. i have no doupts in my mind it can stand a point blank 20 fpe shot
Nice work,
I have a dozen of the Gamo targets but I like the looks of these.
3mm should be heavy enough to handle some higher power guns.

Sorry, 3mm is under 1/8".... 0.118".... I would suggest 4mm minimum if you want it to stand up to 20 FPE.... just my opinion....

I'm with rsterne on this one. I think you may find that 3mm will be to light a material over the long haul. Sure it will stand up to one shot. But the way I shoot it would need to stand up to 100's and 100's of missed shots. I have a couple of Exotic Woodies FT targets and they are all min 3/16 . They do take a pounding and survive.
3mm = .1181
1/8" = .1250
3/16 = .1875
4.8mm = .1890
I sure do like that rooster. Hope you can get these to market in the near future. They look well made.
will check the diferences betwin 11 and 9 ga steel in price it may end up in 9 ga steel , i may stay in 3mm but get higher grade steel thanks for the input it's always apreciated
Those look great, Poil!
Whenever they do make it to production, you can sign me up for a set. I was going to get some Gamo ones at LeBaron's, but would rather support a fellow member if I can.
Cheers,
