    Quite frankly - brilliant! Well done Tony
    i was managing OK with stuffed cardboard boxes, but this looks sooo much better. I will give it a go too.

    Too much effort

    Why not buy targets and a pellet catcher from the NSRA?
    They are exactly the right size, don't need modification, make beautiful holes and are relatively cheap.
    They will fit the pellet catcher without modification or tape. (More time for shooting).
    It also supports our shooting organisation.
    Win, win, win.

    At those prices the NSRA will win, win, win

    I just looked at the NSRA shop. I'll do it my way thanks, much cheaper

    Mine cost me about a fiver, (the tripod was a freebie) it's made from a few bit's of an old pallet, a scrap of chip board, a bit of old steel shelving and a hand full of nails. the only thing i bought was the Bulldog Clips £2 and the spring Clips on the back £3. It can be mounted Vertical or horizontal. Below are a few pics.

    Hi Jason,
    Thats how I want to mount mine on a tripod.

    That one looks like one of my old lighting stands from my days as a pro photographer

    Have to find something similar for mounting it on instead of the garden refuse bin

    Good eye there Tony, a lighting stands is what it is, also from my photography days. I knew it would come in hand again some day, it's spent the last 15 years in the loft.

    Pistol backstop

    I've used 3mm mild steel plate 12"x16" from work (welder fabricator by trade) drilled 2 x 3mm holes ,one in each top corner ,an old wire coathanger bent in a V between them to hang it. Then fixed a bulldog clip to hold the A4 targets . Makes perfect round holes. Best not use wood as it sends the pellets back at you !!!!!!!

    How do they fit the A4 targets that are used for the UBC?
