Dueling tree airsoft/nerf

Heavy Remix from Fully 3D Printable Swappable Target Dueling Tree for Paintball Or Airsoft Target Practice by LithiumPB. I basically just reused the targets. I have these same targets made out of metal for shooting (Grizzly targets) and they work great and are super adjustable. This is a airsoft/Nerf version that I made. How to Adjust the targets: Adjust the stiffness of the targets by loosening the nut. This will allow the spring to have less tension and help the target to bounce over the hill on the lower mount easier. If the target is flopping back to the other side tighten the nut. these are designed to fit on a 1x2 piece of lumber. you can make it as long as you want. Longer = more targets each target takes up roughly 4 and 7/8 inches if you use the big target, so plan accordingly. you will need to have some wood screws 3/4 inch to attach the mounts to the wood. The springs can be made from filament. Print Spring mold and follow directions from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1096880 This dueling tree doesn't need to be placed at an angle as it uses the spring tension/gravity to hold the targets in place. You can mount the 1x2 to a flat piece of wood, attach it to a fence post, or whatever fits your needs. happy shooting! UPDATE: (i know, i just published this) I was dreaming about it (yes, i dream in STL), and I thought about the shaft getting caught up on the hill for the lower mount. I put a radius on the shaft where it contacts the hill so that it would clear it a little easier. this area should also be sanded to make it nice and smooth as well. UPDATE 5/25/23: Printed and modified files as well as updated the spring to be made from filament.
