back stop

[victor 10]

just wondering if any of you have picures as im getting my first gun in a few days ( own gun) and have set up a back stop but dont know if it's too hard, like if the projectile will reflect off it or not, it's a shower base 3i nches thick with abit of chip board in fround just so that it'll stick into something. ill post pictures of mine on monday.

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.

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

well fured a shot. it works a treat only went through the wood and hit the first concreet paver and shattered, ( wood blocked all richoshay) am happy.

massive thick log (i.e a tree) would stop a 22. rimmy in its tracks and defentenly an airgun pellet.
