I had sent this video to a member here during a PM conversation and thought I'd share it here too. I made this gallery from a gifted galvanized steel firewood bin, scrap aluminum plate, stainless steel spoons from the Dollar Store and various rods and things I had laying around in the shop. The red paint is from a leftover farm implement painting job before I got hurt. It weighs probably 175 pounds and sets on concrete blocks now. Hours of suburban back yard fun for my entire family. $10 total investment in parts. Thanks for looking. Oh. I have a DIana 34 in .177 scoped with a 3-9 Hawke, an English made Webley Stingray in .22 with a Bushnell scope, and for old time's sake, a Benjamin .22 pneumatic from Walmart with aftermarket Williams peep sight. Love them all, and yes, they've accounted for many marauding garden pests. Don

Nice set-up you have! Good times for the family don't have to be expensive to be entertaining.

Thanks for sharing. The spoons are genious. If you added some shooting action going on I could probably watch that video for an hour.

Don I watched your vid on the shooting gallery. It is a pretty neat shooting gallery.
The video that came up directly after your video on Youtube was shooting Iguanas in Puerto Rico.
It seems that they have a pretty big problem with Iguanas in PR as they have no natural predators. they were brought in as pets and went ape kind of like the hogs here have . There was one they shot that was 6 feet long and weighed 30 lbs! That's serious lizard. All shot with Airguns.
Then they BBQ'd them. Tastes like chicken?
I now have a reason to go to PR other than to see J LO!
