Finally finished my new shooting gallery and backstop.
Finally got my liberty to quit leaking!🎉🥳🥳🎉🎉. Now all I need is a replacement gage for the plenum and I've got 1 ordered. Dang thing won't be here until the 16th of December.

Got impatient and drug my shooting gallery out to the range so I could free up space in my workshop. It was raining too much to give it the real test it deserves from all my guns, but I managed to christen it with the Crosman 760. Managed to tag each target with a BB at about 10 yards. Each target had a fresh coat of paint so you can see the hits. Even the four spinner targets up top got tagged good.Everything worked perfectly! Nothing broke when I used the lawn tractor to drag it into place. Now I can move it when I need to mow. Even the deflector for the paper targets worked as expected. I'll probably end up adding some sort of sand/pebble tray underneath to actually catch the lead so it's not just going into the ground.And yes, that koala got shot a new one.

Wished there was a way to replicate your range/gallery with modifications to either PVC or Carbon Steel with tees and elbows. Doable?
I wasted about 75 pellets trying to shoot a good target for the "off season casual match".Wow... "off Day" is an understatement.

Dang thing won't be here until the 16th of December.I've been trying off and on to stop the leaking poppet on my Bandit for months. At this point I might just order a new valve assembly and be done with it.
