Clay Holders - On A Budget



We are always looking for ways to save money since we are always having to buy for two. Aside from guns and gear, another thing that gets really expensive is targets to train with. We were at Lowes one day and I saw something that might actually work to hold clay targets for training with a shotgun [or pistol]. What I stumbled upon were actually metal stakes that are used for holding electric fences. They are shaped in such a way that they hold the clays just right [Figure A]. And when they get hit they are not harmed because they are metal. They do have a rubber coating at the top end but ours have taken a lot of abuse and are still holding up [Figure B].

 Putting them in the ground is easy to do since they have a dual prong at the base that has a plate built in so you can drive them into the ground using your foot [Figure C].When you first start to use them you may have to spread the curled end a little so that it actually holds the clay. Also, since clays are so fragile, be careful when putting them on the stakes. With continued use you will get the hang of it. The stakes only cost a few dollars and should be easy to find. Hopefully this will be a welcome addition to your training equipment and a more economical way to train with your shotgun especially if practicing for 3 Gun competitions. Happy shooting!

    1. Sorry for the delayed reply. We just now saw your question. My 24-7 is a 1st generation and those mags work. If you try using a mag from a 2nd generation 24-7 it will not work. Most retailers should have the G2 in stock again. Let us know if you have any more questions!
