I made a right meal on my 1st effort with the biathlon target 😂 I agree that the rings andll the hole get a little mixed up when aiming at times. I might paint the paddles to help see through the reducers

@hftshooter 3 ай бұрын

Makes a big difference. If you decide to spray the front you need to protect the paddles with a bit of card otherwise they get sprayed too. 😅

The bi-athlon target is probably intended for use with a diopter rear sight and a ring front element.

We use a large plastic storage bin filled with shredded rubber mulch for our backyard “silent” trap. It works great, the bin keeps the mulch and lead inside so there’s no mess or dust if it’s used indoors. Just don’t use or make the box too big, otherwise it gets difficult to relocate.

A bag of sand is £2, tape target to it, all done. Silent. They last ages too

with the 12 ftlb guns a old levi jeans in the catcher will work ./ with high power airguns a large 8mm hard steel plate under a sharp angel resting on stones , and on top a 100 kg sand and inside wil be silent , the bullets will slide in the sand , only a option id its permanent

this might seem a bit obvious but at our club we put a strip of masking tape on each corner. nice video

Just a thought you could mount your metal funnel type pellet catcher permanently to a piece of A4 sized plywood then just slip it into the angle iron target holder, that way it could be totally level and your able to collect all the lead. But still be able to remove it when needed. Just my two cents.

@hftshooter 3 ай бұрын

Thanks Graham. Yes I could do that but then I'd still have to contend with quieting the pellet on metal.

Why did you remove the long string and then add a short string?

Because I wanted a detachable string and the one provided is a bit naff!

@RaoulDuke333 3 ай бұрын

Have you seen the guy who shoots with his goat 🐐? He melted all his old lead pellets into the pellet catheter as a lining. Then all lead that hits the lead lining just becomes part of a lump of lead . He says it’s near silent

Hi there, nice video... I'll buy a few clipboards myself now, cracking idea. Btw, what did you do with your two budget underlevers? I've just bought both to get back into plinking after 35 years away and I have to say, with a little tlc and decent scopes I'm really quite pleasantly surprised. So thanks for the advice, The only issue now is the missus has been bitten by the big and wants a rifle... But the x36 magnum and the war hawk are way too big and heavy for her. Any recommendations? ( I think my next is an HW97 import) Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work

@hftshooter 3 ай бұрын

Thanks. I have one budget underlever that's due for another appearance soon. Perhaps an HW30 springer or an air arms S200 pcp for your wife?
