I am planning on buying and either .40 or 9mm pistol and I want to make some steel swinging targets to shoot. My family owns a business where we manufacture propane delivery trucks and we often have to shorten the frames and cut off pieces of the 1/2 channel. I was wondering if this would be a good material to make targets out of and was also wondering how to hang them because of ricochet. My family gas a small range we have made that bumps up against thick woods buy we also have a large pile of sandblasting sand behind where we shoot. There are only fields on either side of are range and nothing working a mile either way.
