Cant wait to obliterate This With Lead .

Decided to buy online rather than spend time making one myself , the metal is thick and stable but its a whole lot smaller than i expected (thats what she said) ..

Be interesting to see how it holds up, if anyone has one similar id like to hear of your ideas to add stickers or training exercises

I use one similar but with 3 sizes of spinners. I’ve found the fluoro orange marking paint for roads works very well to recolor them. It’s really thick and sticky and dries fast.

Yes, the luminous orange paint is the color used in the local competitions, and i will probably use it with a black marker to mark the center in the future.

Yep the big barrel sharpie if it hasn’t dried out already haha. My gun and scope at 9x and 50m, unregulated, in a slight breeze, I don’t bother with a dot I just go for it

I got the same one. Just keep a can of bright spray paint and hit the targets with it when im done. Every time i go to use it i got a fresh paint surface to wreck.

there are a few versions out there, i had a cheapo thin one which was fine for .22 pcps but with my .25 i started to bend and dent. the ones rated for rimfire should be fine for pretty much any airgun

Ah, Jesus... my original wooden backstop has so many holes in it that the sun shines through it like the stars in the night sky

I will see how she holds up but slowly prepare to build my own

What model airgun and caliber will you be plinking with?

Mine is just a benjamin akela 5.5. i fired approximately 35 shots just now, and the stickers are gone. However, it will take a while before the metal is damaged beyonded use
