Something to do in bad weather

[Freddie Pier 4]

I made this spinning target with a couple of cheap tea spoons from poundland bent then 90 degrees with pliers drilled the handle and found an old cleaning rod to suspend them from either side of the handles are washers and cable ties to stop the swinging in the wind left to right and also slow them down quicker when they are hit.

There are still some things I want to add to it like a carry handle across the top and some steel strips to protect the upstands, have a look on youtube for reactive targets for airguns there are loads of good ideas. If you got stuff laying around the garage or shed you can make these on days you cant get out and keeps you away from the misses and the washing up.

Sling them in the bin and get into lurcher's..they are a bit more rewarding than pop gun's.. ..i have both by the way..

So you swing both ways It's easy to own a "pop gun " the question is can you use it ??

pop guns rely on the skill of the user to do the job, not some other animal to do the work to make up for the shortcomings of the owner, easier to point a lamp than a gun

The targets look good mate.

 

You have made something out of nothing which will no doubt give you hours of fun while improving your shooting at the same time.

 

Cant fault you pal.
