This ain’t working, that’s the way you do it, bb style

Today was a clean out the garage day after getting a plumbing estimate in the morning. Everything I get seems to come in a huge box! It took me the entire day to cut up boxes for targets.

Part of my problem was not thinking about these two boxes.

I stayed focused and cut up 12” by 12” cardboards.

I ended up with 50 of them.

Yep I kept thinking about those two boxes and put them together. I’m right on target!

I like the song reference. And the targets.

Yeah, way to channel your inner Dire Straights. Nicely done!

Now the song is in my head and I’ll be humming it all day.

That’s not helping........

Well at least I got rid of Nowhere Man running through my head from work.

Great targets Gene.

[Sir Henry]

Great targets Gene.

The pellet trap with the ducks is great. Even the Red Ryder will make them spin. I’m getting two more the next time I’m at Cabela’s.

I have a very similar cardboard target holder. It's great to throw in the back of my truck when I'm going up the road to shoot. Unfortunately it's not been getting a lot of use in the past year. Hopefully the ammo shortage will be over before I'm too old to shoot.

[Sir Henry]

Ammo shortages seems to come in surges. Your target will see more action.

Problem is when the shortage ends the prices don't come back down to pre-shortage prices. Before the the big .22lr shortage you could get a 500ct. brick for under $10, now they're like $20. I'm thinking we will be lucky to see 9mm for $15 to $20. Who knows what .357 will be. I think I see one of these in my future.

Dave what scope did you put on yours and what height rings did you use.

[dave77]

Dave what scope did you put on yours and what height rings did you use.

These are the rings I used, fairly cheap but seem to be good quality.

Scope is a Weaver Kaspa series 3-12x44MM Model #849820
I like it, has a illuminated reticle, not really noticeable in full sunlight but nice when overcast or getting dark. Bought it over 10 years ago, kind of surprised it's still available. I'm definitely no scope expert, this is the only scope I own or have ever owned. Just wasn't getting much use on my 22lr rifle so I thought I'd give it a try on the new air rifle.

BTW, the Amazon link says its a 1" tube, it's actually 30mm

Thanks for the info Dave. Still looking at another airgun here. Just don’t have a direction yet
