| One Buwwit Weft   | Pellet gun fun.. A buddy of mine has a 60' long ranch home with a very nice basement.. He wrangled up a nice big pellet trap, and we're able to shot 50' with ease.. The following are photos of the setup, and shooting fun.. (better than watching TV, anyway) The trap is just wood, with a 3/16" steel sheet set at an angle, and rubber mudflaps in front of the sheet.. What passes through the mudflaps is stopped by the sheet.. It's a couple feet wide, and we set items on the shelf and hang cans from a string. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0883.jpg The targets are usually old discarded toys, or whatever else we can find.. CO2 canisters and old Mosin Nagant spent casings are good fun.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0898.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0892.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0894.jpg Stone Cold's been shot a bunch, but he's damn tough and is always ready for more!! http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0896.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0882.jpg More than one army man has fallen to our shooting.. They're tough, too!! http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0885.jpg Yeah, that's a pellet in his hip.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0888.jpg War is hell.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0891.jpg Of course it's well lit, and all the lights are protected by lexan.. This trap has survived 3 winters of pellet shooting.. I think it's got more years left in it.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0897.jpg Here's the range in it's full length.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0911.jpg Here's what the trap looks like before shooting. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0928.jpg And after.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0915.jpg By the way, we don't shoot at the cans.. We shoot at the tabs the cans are hanging by.. Shoot small, hit small.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0919.jpg And here's the trap owner and his son, having a little shooting competition in the basement.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0930.jpg By the way, the doorway they're shooting through doesn't have access to any other way into it.. No chance of someone walking through the door while shooting.. Same rules as a range, with all guns up while setting up targets.. And yes, the pets are locked upstairs while shooting.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...l/IMGP0908.jpg Anyway, we'll blast through 250-500 pellets during a session.. $4 for 500 shots seems like pretty cheap fun!! Now for spring rummage sales to find more targets!!
