Air rifle quad segment target

Post by B4408 »

Made up this metal target to give a visual display of the hits and centre misses. :lol: :lol: Centre is 28mm and corners 50x50mm.
Moves ok with the .17 should be very good when the .22 arrives.
Plan to use it 25 to 50m for field practice, and see how the wind blows the pellets around.
Air rifle rated only.......wonder if I can scale it up.

Looks very strong and a great design.

I'd hate to imagine how much scaling up it would need to deal with the daisy's at Yass.... :shock:

I have been thinking of it for a while but was making it to complicated. Then saw a pic online :idea: and plagarised it. :D

Had a rainy day here yesterday so spent it in the shed. Went through thr scrap metal pile and made up another target for the 22.
Plan on using it at 150 to 200m for a bit of fun. Centre is 75mm, 260mm x 260mm square overall.
May help me learn to read the wind a bit.
