Very nice new target setup you have NCG ! That backstop should last you a long time and the plywood is a great idea to cover the gaps
between the 2X8's as they shrink due to drying out.

Thanks, forty. It's been very windy the last few days, so hoping the wind dies down to get out and try our new setup.

Thank you, Roper.

Forty, there won't be much shrinkage on the 2x 8s, because we use treated lumber for all our outdoor projects. Without that treatment in our cool, damp northern climate, woods rots fairly quick and/or gets covered with moss. Speaking of moss, hubby just got done cleaning the moss of the roof of the garage. Something we have do every now and then.

We have been shooting with our new setup and it works great. Lots of fun, all the more so for being able to do it in our backyard. Just grab an air rifle and walk out the door.

Of course, being able to stay home and shoot has been one of the reasons there has been a big run on airguns and pellets during this pandemic. Not the only reason sales are up and supply is down, but it's one of them.
