They might sound like a lot of work till you realize you only need 3-4 pumps for plinking.

Again I reach into the ol' bucket-o-stuff and pull out what I needed to make something to shoot at.
image uploader
1 piece of an 8th" thick steel bracket
1 piece of a 13mm steel rod
1 18" piiece of 4.5mm steel rod
2 sections of 4.5mm id aluminum tubing.
Now for the why and how.
The piece of steel I had wasn't big enough to cut out one piece with a 1x1 square on each end which would've been the quickest and easiest way, so I had to attach a counter weight.
I also dont have a welder so I have to get creative sometimes.
To do this I just cut a slot into my chunk of 13mm rod , then stuck it on and hammered the snot out of it to lock it on.
I know it's not going anywhere because I could not get it off when I thought this wasn't going to work, that was before I went ahead and pounded on it a whole lot more just to be extra sure it never moves.

I've been shooting at it for the past hour or so and it's working great, spins well when hit.
