    Bell Target

    Hello Gentlemen
    I am posting in the hope that one of you will be able to help me, since coming in here I have grown a distinct liking for older BSA rifles and now have 3 Pre WW2 models, also reading the posts in this interesting section led my mind to trying to fathom the workings of a spring operated bell target, I cant find drawings anywhere but I did find a photograph on the net which I forgot to paste to my favourites so lost it, anyway I set to and have now got a spring operated device which is triggered by the force of a .177 pellet and I can also adjust the power needed to set it off within a certain degree,I have attached pictures of it from the front and also in "cocked" and "uncocked" mode from behind, my problem now lies in the size of the target plate,how big the scoring rings and how wide a diameter of hole on the centre for 6 yard shooting,
    I aren't sure if this is the right section to be posting in but thought if any group of people would have the knowledge I am seeking it would be you, I will then be able to shoot these wonderful airguns in the way they were intended.
    Many thanks in advance,I will of course add further pictures of the complete item once it is finished

    Many Thanks

    I must have been reading it so hard the section I wanted was slipping by my eyes,so now I need a 4 inch circle of hardened steel and engrave 3 circles onto its face with an 8.5 mm hole in it and I can start shooting.
    Thanks again Guy my head was starting to ache searching for that

    Bell Target patent

    Here is page 1 of a 1906 patent for a bell target. I do not know if any were made. If I can get some iron casting done I will make a few.

    Don't forget that our own member on here "Red Bob" makes some terrific bell targets at very reasonable prices with a very loud ring if you can shoot through the centre hole.
    They also have the dual purpose of being a fine target card holder...
