The Random Ramblings Of An Airgun Addict

In my new house I can open the rear door of my garage and shoot 35 yards to the back of my property. I have gotten to know the gentleman that owns the land behind my house and he has graciously permitted me to use a small portion of his property so I can put some targets at 50 yards so I can practice for Field Target shooting.

I have one nice steel target stand that I made a few years back that I am going to move out to the 50 yard mark but I wanted another target stand for my 35 yard shooting that I do with my 10 meter match rifles. So I decided to make a new stand from 1"x4" pressure treated wood instead of steel. The assembly was pretty easy and it only required 3 1"x4"x8'boards and one 4"x4"x4' pt post. The nice thing about a wood stand is that fabrication and modifications are easier and when a pellet hits the stand it is a lot quieter.

I made my new stand with an area that I can shoot MiniSniping ( www.minisniping.org) and I made the spinners with on spinner on top of the other. Having the spinners offset like that makes them spin a lot even with low power rifle hit. I put some gray screen around the back to keep the targets from flying all over the place when they are hit. The stand works pretty well and so far I am happy with it.
