My Wife and I bought a small AR500 steel plate, built an all wood holder and hung it with rope. I shot it about 10 times with jacketed .380 auto and jacketed .45 auto from about 20 yards. There were no richoccets in my direction. I noticed the wood directly above it and in the side braces on both sides had shards of lead imbedded in it. It would appear to be a much safer setup than attaching it to chains with carriage bolts. I would think the heads of the carriage bolts would be a big riccochet hazard as well as the chain. I'm sure the rope will wear out much faster, but I have a lot of rope and it is a quick fix. I also made sure the ground below it was just dirt and no rocks. And with it being a swinging target, I would think that would make it even safer. For those who shoot steel, am I missing something here? I have heard a lot of opinions on the safety of steel, and while nothing can be 100 percent safe, I'm trying to get close.
