Shot a couple of indian minors a few weeks ago, so thought I would make a few metal targets for plinking with the air rifle.
Searched online for some animal shapes, enlarged them with a photo copier and then cut them out of some scrap 3mm checker plate. Just used a jigsaw and angle grinder.
To give them a bit of movement I mounted them on springs from old tent ropes.
The HW100 is good fun plinking from the verandah. Should handle 22 subs ok, might make a couple more and move them down the paddock.
A bit of video, shows spring attachment at end. (Should have some lambs this winter )
