I started out with just wireties but went to DGA and ordered the 8 and 4 inch rings. Less than 8 bucks for the two rings and I put them on all three of my targets.
I have a DGA Mach III and these wood ones catch mighty fine. They do have 26 sets of chain instead of the 24 sets that the DGA has.

Here is a closer look. BTW these are close to the deminsions of my Mach III.

how do you get the rings connected to the chain?

S-hooks for sure and DGA has the rings.

I've got some plans made up. I just need the official height and distance between the top to the basket. If someone could post those I'd really appreciate it.

1.89 for the three inch and 2.99 for the 8 inch.
I ordered the s-hooks from Grainger. They were the cheapest but you can find them at hardware stores. Get the 1 and 3/4 inch ones cause they are the same size as the 2/0 chain. You can clamp them down with a pair of vice grips and a pair of channel locks.

so do you count the s hooks as a link?

Thanks. I'm so new to DG, I don't really know which way to look.

Here is mine. We had a fan die, so all I had to do is buy the chain.

Since the picture was taken I added a second layer of chain.

I built this one about a month ago with a chip bowl from Wally World and chain and a livestock pan from Home Depot. The post is a mop handle and the base is a 5 gallon bucket with about 6" of concrete in it. It is only about 3/4 scale, but is perfect for mini disc-ing around the house and with the kids in the yard. It has also improved my putting with it being smaller than reg.

what size tire did you use?

I still have to put the finishing touches on it, but here's my first attempt at a practice basket.

I'd have to look, but it was from a jeep grand cherokee..the diameter across the opening is about 26"
