I had the house to myself this morning and since I couldn't get to a game today I figured I'd do some pistol shooting and try out my new USP C. Fun fact 3 pizza boxes make a perfect target and backstop. It comes with a bullseye and everything.

Lol

we are still waiting to be allowed to play up here in Scotland 

I made a target for using in the back garden months ago when this all started
 

 

 

 

Swapped the aluminium panels out for cardboard, too many ricochets 😂

Paint can lids are good. they make a mess but the way they shatter everywhere is very satisfying.

Personally I favour jam jar lids held on the washing line with a peg, audible when hit plus they swing on the peg, & small enough to be a challenge at 100+ feet

I chopped the bottom out of an old washing powder tub and taped a pillowcase to it. No more clearing up, just unzip the pillowcase into the bin.

I’m quite tempted to try some clay pigeon targets, can’t be arsed to clean up the shrapnel in the back garden off of them though

Will bb's shatter clays, didn't think they were that fragile ?

I use little chalk lego men, £8 for 80 on ebay

 

Explode when hit and degrade with the weather

I attended a practical shooting event at Land Warrior late 2018 , they had this set up which was amazing to use 😎

Same idea as ljnl above just showed, but a bit more commercial and professional 

The coloured lights are like an illuminated silicon semi sphere

I have been playing about with that Audrino set up on TinkerCAD and must get round to making if for real! Still working on the code as quite basic at the moment but I would like different time delays / game modes.

My GF made this one...cardboard box within two old recycling bins then clingfilmed a few times over the front to prevent BB's bouncing back out.

I must also point out that it looked much better than this a few weeks ago. I've just mashed it up with AEG's, pistols and now zeroing my new boltie.

Now if only that could save me £500 too. Tinkering is half the fun!

Put this together:

 


Targets light up random after a hit. The targets can be set further apart ofc, this is just a test setup :)

 

They look good fun.they have similar at nae. 

No good for me though. Small garden and skitty neighbours. They jump if I open a can of lager! Lol

Apart from recognised airsoft venues I think you can shoot on private land with the landowners permission and making sure no projectiles leave the boundaries of said private land.
