Re: Home ranges.....
KennyC, I can totally relate to that, it is amazing the amount of tidying up one can get done when at home like this.
Re: Home ranges.....
I think the carpet needs to be free hanging, to absorb the energy without it going through.
On the same idea as the nets that archers use.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I applaud your enthusiasm, even though your grip on reality may be somewhat tenuous......
Re: Home ranges.....
I might not need to find out, as I remembered I still have the box that my Hornady Lock'n'Load reloading kit came in, so am scrounging around the house for extra cardboard to put in that.
The amount of cardboard it is made out of is very impressive

Re: Home ranges.....
I would tend to agree, and with a reasonable pile too. Cointract, hard rubber backed, short pile, carpet pulled tight would probably act like a drum and send a pellet straight back.Plumose wrote:I think the carpet needs to be free hanging, to absorb the energy without it going through.

Re: Home ranges.....
Here's my pellet trap - old ammunition box, stuffed with rags and a foam or polystyrene sheet cut to size holds it all in. I've tacked a thin strip across the centre to clip the target to (or use a magnet) and about an inch high dam to hold the debris in. Backing is fire proof concrete board. Official height for 10m pistol is 1.4m
Just bought a manual pump for £50 for the PCP's (works well and keeps you fit)
Plenty of downloadable targets about but here are official sized ones.

And my rather mediocre mornings efforts. 10m, One hand, open sights. 1980's Walther CP2, Co2.(85,85,86,87)

Re: Home ranges.....
Any advice for someone that has only had a brief go at air pistol (and came to shooting after the ban)?

Practice, practice and more practice. :)Plumose wrote:Any advice for someone that has only had a brief go at air pistol (and came to shooting after the ban)?
What pistol are you using? Are you trying to shoot one handed, competition type shooting? Are you using open sights?

Looks more like using a 28guage with a 16g of BB
