Some things a mate made for me recently

[bigfellascott]

Some Bisalloy Gongs in sizes from 3" up to 5" and they ring very nicely indeed (only tried the 3" one with the 22's @80m but they make it ring very well in deed even with subs.



And he also made up a BBQ Plate to suit the Gasmate Gas Burner - she's a bloody rippa and part of the shooting kit now well and truly, there's nothing like having a BBQ whilst out shooting - absolutely love it.

BBQ Plate with Handle


Packed up and ready to put away


Everything stores away neatly inside the Stove (oil, tongs, handle and papertowel fit nicely inside it)

Nice one Scott. All set.

Bloody oath G, she's definitely part of the spotlighting kit now, nice and simple and compact - perfect! A few slices of bread and some bangers and I'm set for the night.

it really is a great little idea, no pan to cart around and clean up, I just wipe this one over with the paper towel and she's done and ready for the next cookup.

Points for the BBQ kit. Love it.

We normally take a full size BBQ plate out and set it on the corner of the fire.

Heavy and messy though

Yeah that's why I like this little setup, she's good for that stop and have a quick feed type thing, no need to light fires etc, I just set it up on the tailgate, fire it up and cook a feed, simple no fuss way of cooking, cleanups just a wipe over with the paper towel (which we then burn) so no mess at all, I can also use the case it comes in as a windbreak.

Clever handle.

He's a smart cookie alright, it really is a well thought out little setup.

Your welcome mate

Sounds like a good friend to have.

One of my regular "gongs" is a yard of railway girder stuck upright in the dirt

Works, but not something I can take to another range for fun somewhere else

The ol Railway Girder, that will last you're lifetime and the next generations!

Yeah he's a bloody good fella for doing that for me, I wasn't expecting it (well the gongs he told me about) but not the mighty little barbie plate, that was a real surprise indeed.

It's probably had about 2,000 rounds thrown against it by now an no signs of wearing out yet.

I'll be long gone before it is I think

Did he just get a job in a workshop or something?

That's usually why people are keen to make tonnes of stuff (for a while)

[whert]

Very kind of him.

I'm making do with little steel plates to connect timber sleepers together from Bunnings.

They swing, but don't *ping* as they get shot right through. Not quite as fun

[lole]

Rate the little BBQ set.

Pain building a fire to cook sometimes and they will do good.

Nah pretty sure he's been doing it for yrs mate, he mainly writes programmes for CAD systems but still does welding when needed (he's some sort of Engineer) can't remember what they are called now.

Very kind indeed Whert.

Anything is better than nothing when it comes to gongs.

Yeah definitely a PITA to build a fire just to cook a few snags, I love this setup, everything packs away into the plastic case, so very convenient to throw in the back of the ute and when your ready just pull up and set it up on the back of the tailgate, cook a feed and pack it away after a quick wipe down with some paper towel, doesn't get any simpler and easier hey.

[whert]

Yeah it's still good.

Being light you definitely know when you've hit as well as they flail around like crazy.

I see guys at the range doing 300n - 500m fixed gongs trying to work out if they hit them because you can't hear on a noisy day.
