As many may know its a problem target... always bends back, and encourages air balls.
I looked around for fixes, and found some ways to get it to keep its shape some guys are welding stuff to the bracket or making modifications that to me, now, seem overkill... you can even go as far as buying a (more sturdy one) that is probably the ideal way.
But thats gonna take time to order and receive... and its WAY more expensive then what I did. And at a month or more later I can say it looks like its still working very well and has not bent back at all... no matter how many point blank shots its taken thus far.
Im not trying to say the other peoples fixes are not good... or dont work! Im just shocked how little I did and how fast and cheap it is to do it my way. As opposed to building braces, welding, and some of them alter other parts of the game or drilling/fabricating something much more elaborate!
So......What I did was remove the target... bend it back all square for the last time
.... and right at the top of the target (as far as that bend goes that mounts it to the under side of the PF) Take a zap strap/cable tie, and pop one (or 2 if they are the tiny ones) on there and pull it tight and trim off the excess then.... oh yeah, your done! LOL
What it does is shorten the over all length of the metal just a tiny bit... but that tiny bit makes it much more stiff... also the zap strap probably absorbs a small amount of the shock that happens with every hit as well.
It has NOT bent even a touch since i did this... it worked so well I had to share it with all of you (and now that it proven it can take beating)
So for a few pennies, er I mean less then a nickel your good to go.
Sorry no photos, but if any are needed just say the word
