Making Moving Targets for Airsoft Practical Shooting

[N_Force]

since moving targets need to have longer time for set up and reset, steel challenge is always the easiest way to have fun, here you go, the new '606' Head to Head Steel Challenge is done.

This is awesome, thanks for sharing!

CAPS aka Canadian Airsoft Plactical Shooting will have all these targets running open to public. If you want to experiencing this exciting moving target design, don't miss out, come to Ultimate Airsoft Convention this weekend and visit the CAPS booth. Illusion and me will be here to see you.

enhanced dueling tree is up, more poppers mean more challenge!

[mighty_kit]

can you please post more pictures? I want to build one.
and a simple texas star. so, I must found a way to keep the plates in place until they fall down.

[mighty_kit]

I know your youtube channel and I've seen your videos. but I'm interested to know the trick behind the dueling tree. today I made a prototype with one target (plastic with duct tape over it) and a hinge. the shots are to powerful and the target comes back. I tried to lean forward the tree. it's a little better but not so much.
the next step I want to try it's to buy an aluminum foil, make a target and use several hinges to see which works better.

This is using madbull poppers and cut out an inches at the bottom to make it shorter for around 20' shooting. A hinge has two side, one side with three contacts and other side has two contacts to joint together, for the better popper flapping when hit, three contact side on wood and two contact side on popper.
when you design your dueling tree, distance and the power of your weapon, the length of the poppers and the angle lean forward, are all the factors you have to know. If you use it indoor in close range and not switch weapon, keep the full length and play around the leaning angle to see. If not enough force to hit it flap, cut popper shorter to reduce weight. hope this helps.
This later one I set it two poppers in one section to lean forward. Good thing is keep all three or four sections in same distance.

thank you very much for the informations. so, the secret behind the dueling tree is "trial and error". in this case, I think I will use as suport a piece of wood like you did.

[mighty_kit]

what is the diameter of a Madbull popper? I bought an aluminium sheet and now I want to cut it. so, it would be helpfull for me to know your measures and thus to cut some errors.
if you can make some more pictures with the setup (including the stand) I would be grateful.

thank you very much. I see you made each plate separately. did you choose this solution because it's easier to find the angle at which the plates work fine?
I made the first test today and I think the sistem works very fine.
you can see a quick video of the setup:

this was just a test. I plan to build a wood base and I don't think it's so hard. I don't know the dimensions yet, but I will find them.

this is my project made with Sketchup 2013:
