Target Maintenance

 In August we host a titled event, and I've already begun getting ready.  Lots of stuff to do, and today I began target maintenance.  Our targets were "thrown together" several years ago, and they have served us fine, but suffer from a lack of maintenance.

Today, I started getting them ready  Degreased then, then took them to the bench, swapped hardware, Changed old bolt heads for new, countersunk screws, and found a conveniently round object to put over the glass when we paint them.


I think that is a lot better. It will certainly be easier to grease the targets between stages, and a new paint job will help make scoring easier.  I got half done today, and I'm charging the batteries on the drill motors.  We'll finish up tomorrow.

Preventive maintenance is a LOT better than the alternative...just sayin...
