I'm getting this mental image of a .22 flipper hard enough to survive a .308 hit "FLIPING"
More like a hellicopter taking off and flying 100 yards down range :lol: :lol: :lol: :wtf:
There's always room for at least one more gun in my safe.

Someting like 4 of these @ $16 each in a star config might do the trick.

A concern would be ricochet, a .22 just goes SPLAT a CF what projectile? FMJ? Steel core? So many variations bits could go anywhere. :unknown:
It would be fun tough, might be a little hard to see at 100 yards after the first hit if it came up 90% from firing line. 8-)

Worthy point.

100m is widely agreed as the 'safe' distance for metal targets at ranges. Might not want to be using inside that distance.
