Built myself a spinning target!!!

[Deadly Z Driver]

I still have some tweaks but this was the first time I was able to actually get it out and shoot at it. I am pretty happy with it!!!

looks pretty cool. im in franklin if you need someone else to test it!

 

[Deadly Z Driver]

Anytime as long as you got a place to shoot!

I freakin love it! Im assuming those are clay pigeons? How do you get them to stay on there?

Binder clips, I have around 20 bucks in this not counting my boat battery, clays, and I salvaged the motor from a paper shredder.

This may be a stupid question, but what exactly is a binder clip?

And it has a motor hooked up to it? I thought it was more like a Whirly Bird or Texas Star (whatever they call them)

 

[Deadly Z Driver]

Binder Clip. and yes it has a motor hooked up and a rheostat to control speed.

Haha Nice Job! Looks like a fun project!

That spinning target is awesome. Where did you get the idea to build it?

 

[Deadly Z Driver]

Thanks I don't really know where I got the idea from... I just kind thought it would be cool so I did it... lol

 

[Deadly Z Driver]

WOW!

You did well.

Looks like something I could use!

Thanks it was fun to build and fun to shoot!

Hmmm...

I am not sure, but I think I have seen this elsewhere already...

lol yes yes I believe you have sir...

Looks cool, does the motor run direct or it is a belt drive? I figure you need some slip, since it looks like it spins backwards when the weight gets offset.

 

[Deadly Z Driver]

It's direct right know with a rheostat to control speed but I'm going to gear it down for more torque less speed.

I'm also getting ready to start another project, motion activated pop up targets!
I got bored and threw this video together...
