I realized I don't really needed a pellet trap outside. Since there is nothing behind and no rocks in my back yard. So made this simple stick into the ground, target holder. Just simple 3/16 rod I bent. Like to find a better way of holding the cardboard though.

I like to use binder clips. You can find a size that will clip over your 3/16 rod and clamp on the cardboard. You can use them on the sides and bottom to keep the paper target (if you choose to use one) from blowing.

Neodymium Rare-Earth Magnets. I use them to hold targets in place with my Champion bullet box. They are very strong & should have no problem holding cardboard in place. You can pick an assortment of sizes at Home Depot.

Inspired by the recent interest in BB shooting around here, I had a couple minutes between shower and time to leave for work and I had a quick look around at my guns.
During the time that I was gathering metal/metal 880s searching for 'the one" I collected a half dozen or so that fell a little short in accuracy to compete with Betty Lou's "Dark Lady".. as she refers to it.
These are untouched as far as mods except maybe I removed the flat spring. I'm thinking Betty Lou and I can use them to open up a new realm of completion. I think we'll open up a can killin' bidness.
Open sights at 20 meters. First to rip the can off a 3" dry wall screw buried 1" into a 2x4 wins the round. Just hitting the can won't do it... it has to come off.
We do this at 35 meters with pellets and scope with 880s and let me tell you... some of those cans get pretty well shot up before they come off that screw.

My money is on Betty Lou! Besides the fact she's a better shot, her losing would probably results in Bill having to eat out for awhile

That's 'cause she's SOOOO much younger than me.

Ok, what was the topic?
Oh yeah, I went home for lunch and pigged down some leftover "sketti" the went to the shop to gather up some BBs. I also located a couple m/m Daisy 880 pumpers and loaded them up to see if they even shot.
Yes and yes. Looks like we got a couple shooters for the BB challenge that Marty is putting together. Talked to Betty Lou and she's all in as well.
Let the games begin.

Worked on my "2060" After applying the "stone" paint in the chosen places, I applied 3 coats of matte clear to the entire stock.
Repaired damage is hidden and it feels good.

Man,that's pretty nice looking! Can't wait to see the "finished" project!

RobertMcC · « **Reply #657 on:** March 28, 2019, 06:29:14 AM »

I have an ulcer again, been keeping me up, and un able to really concentrate on shooting.

Slowly been working on the PP700SA, removed the stock and waiting on a shim for the shroud. Trying to dial in the regulator. Filling in the hole I drilled into the stock. Since it never will be installed again.

Got the pistol scope mounted on the PP800 Rebel. Tried the stock, and did not like it. SO back to pistol mode.

I dunno why, I don't find the rebel stock, or the PP700SA stock comfy.

I re assembled my Liberty and aired it up for the first time, I've got just a little over 3K in it right now but eventually I'll have more. I haven't had the chrony out in a while but it looks like it's about time.

Started doing the prep for the Hajimoto baffle stack and stripper mod for my Air Speed .25. Then I will try with and without my Neil Clague LDC
