maty j 6 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 What powers the gun doing? I found breeze blocks are quite good. The pellets tend to break pieces off the block with every shot and the pellet stick to the block. Best of all they are pritty cheap If you havn't allready got them lieing around. Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 you don't want anything too hard , too britlte or too thin. the best thing to use is a pellet catcher ( around a tenner) or a bag of general building sand. you dont want ANY richochete's .......... for obvious reasons. cheers sean Quote Link to post
