Ricochets

[The one 8,598]

I just got my air arms but from the gun smith and he sighted it after fixing and servicing it but on getting it home we set up our usual range between the two garages , as a back stop i use bags of compost and put the target on a hardwood logs i use to cut up the rabbits on , first shot the pellet richochets and hits my son whos doing the shooting on the leg , next one lands in the garage beside him ?. after that it settled down and the pellets either stuck in the log or crumpled and ended up on the floor like usual . Im thinking a real hard spot in the log ?>

Aye she was spot on the bull at 25 yards but we often use the garages to check the zero and thats the first time a pellets bounced back

If you know any builder round your way see if you can get a cut off of 75 mm insulation board , I've used this many a time with a few slabs behind it as a back stop , the insulation absorbs the pellet , hence no chance of a pellet flying
