Show us your plinking target setups

[ibo7]

I want to make or buy targets that can work for airsoft and airguns and want some inspiration.

 

So show off your garden setup and let us all see them!

I just draw a rough circle on a cardboard box and prop it up on a plastic garden chair. Imo there's no point in buying anything fancy if I'm just going to shoot holes in it

As the man above said, if its for shooting at, whatever takes your fancy that you don't mind getting damaged.

I'd be more interested in what your planning on using as a backstop, what's behind your garden that needs to be considered if any shots go wide of the target (or through it ?🤕), especially in regards to airguns.

PS I find jam jar lids suspended on a line by clothes pegs make effective targets for airsoft, get a nice "ding" when you hit them.

Brick wall backstop, nothing to worry about there. I've shot air pistols in the garden without issue, I just fancy a proper setup with targets and wanted some inspiration.

I have some offcuts of carpet that i paint with fluoro/glow in the dark paint, and a UV floodlight. with tracer BBs it is quite fun. The carpet lasts a little while too..

Paint can lids are my favourite. Make a mess but you know when you hit them.

I have employed some former Conservative MPs to run around the garden while I shoot them; however, they seem to find it rather too enjoyable.
