Target

[Beekeeper]

OK here goes.
I have a little time every day and want to keep at least competent.
Want to build a target box/backstop so I can sit out by the garage door and shoot a BB/pellet gun at about 65 feet.
I get a few minutes ever now and then whenever the wife doesn't need me
anyone got one they can send me the specs for? Or what one to buy to do the job

I use the one that Outers makes for 22Lr.

I made one that'll stop a 22 hornet safely; got a small plastic drum (with snap-on lid), filled it with dry newsprint (easier to put in place), stuck it on a home-made cradle, filled said drum with water until the paper was saturated.
Set it up at 25 yds and have shot consistently, keeping the paper wet and moving the "impact zone" as needed to prevent "shoot through".

For pellets a box made of 1X4's with a plywood back and about an inch of Duc-Seal molded into it works great. Mine is the size of a sheet of printer paper. Targets are printed off the net and attached with push pins. Duc-seal can be bought at Lowe's in the electrical department.

I know some folks who have made variations of this one to shoot colibris in their basement. Use 4 layers of the aforementioned Duct Seal for colibris.
