What type are you after, field target style, shoot to reset, spinners are a good cheap alternative only down side you can't see your misses

You can get the Gamo and BSA (Tasco) ones from the firearms store and of course Fleabay. I made a few with mdf. Others have used the gamo as their template and made their own steel ones.

I got to a point where I got lazy and made a few mdf ones with different target diameters. Rather than having them fall over and having to muck around with the machanism and string, I installed a steel swing plate on the back. Not too different to the Bell target idea that you poms use in the pub shoots.

I just got a few sent over from the UK , they are great targets but the postage was as much as the targets themselves but !

Still, I wont wear them out ....and they are fun :D

Why knockdowns?

What about spinners? Much easier & more friendly to use?

Only problem with spinners is you can't see your misses

Any reason why you couldn't put a backer behind the spinner?
