Slinging Target Boards (Read 776 times)

How would one go about making one of these 'diana' boards?

Here's Channing's video which covers things well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpa-S7CxXic. Basically what Blindsquirrel is describing.

If you don't want to worry about cutting metal for the diana plate, just jump on Amazon and get a heavy duty 20 inch pizza pan. It's already the correct size. That's what I've been using for a while. It's dented up quite a bit, but still working fine. Because a pizza pan won't hold up as well as a thicker plate, I have three connection points. I have a video where I replace the board if you want to see it. It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ije7S3e6jF4.

Posts: 341	Re: Slinging Target Boards Reply #3 - May 29^th, 2023 at 4:38pm I use a jury-rigged one with a folded-over duct tape frame and a cardboard diana, and it works well when tied onto a baseball backstop at a local park. I'll attach a photo of it soon.

Will definitely have to try this, as I am unable to build one out of wood at the moment. Thanks for the suggestion!
