Took it upon myself to build a 50 yard line in the back yard and as part of the project, a bullet deflector/target frame. Thought it might be of small interest to a few here, so the pic will pretty much speak for itself. Angle sections are 1", target backer tracks are 1/2" angel iron, deflector is 1/2" AR400. The bucket affair on the backside of the deflector plate will hold sand to reduce the clang of a bullet strike. Total weight is around 100#, Dims are 18" square on the face.

One of the benefits of handloading and casting is the ease of crafting subsonic loads in a variety of guns. Lacking a suppressor for most that I shoot, I chose to build a baffle box to reduce muzzle blast. It is 5' long, 15" on a side and has 6 baffles. The interior is lined with insulating foam. The hole in the end is 5" diameter and first baffle is 6" past that. A .357 mag can be discharged with the muzzle just past the first interior baffle without need for hearing protection.
