Thank you for posting the photos for me Troubledshooter i just thought someone may be interested in making one as they are fairly cheap and easy to make and a lot of fun, The red sticks are pieces of dowel but sticks of chalk are good too

Flies and snails.

2 litre coke bottle filled from the compressor to 100psi.
Now that certainly wakes up the neighbours.
If you have a compressor, it's only the cost of a tubeless tyre valve. I stand a metal plate in front with differing size holes depending on what distance I'm shooting from.

Yes charub they sure do look like fun there are some videos of people making and shooting at them on youtube that i have seen in the past, Don't think i would have the balls to fill them to 100psi though

Another one for chalk sticks.

I made a holder by drilling 10x10mm holes in a piece of wood to make a stand, I break the sticks in half and set them up at the end of the garden.

A very satisfying cloud of white dust for every hit.

I cover them with a fire blanket whilst filling, and carry with a pole with a wire loop around the neck.
Not had one go yet though.

I used to loved shooting at coke bottles (any size) with my young son. keep the caps on, fill it up with water.

1st "The Head Shot" - shoot the cap off

2nd "Make it Wee" - Once the head shot is done, my young son loved shooting the main bottle and watching the water shoot out. Lowering the shot as the weeing stopped, or maybe more than one spout at the sane time

3rd " Sending it to sleep" - knocking the bottle over

Finally when the bottle is on the ground shooting it in turn to make it spin


One thing I forgot to mention is the sound it makes a great loud noise as the pellet strikes, great for annoying the neighbours from hell who despite calling the police and complaining to the council, couldn't do a thing about it.

We have both grown up now and moved on to proper targets.

They'll take a lot more than that!

Well,,,,,, this is sort of airgun related:

Small part of my job a long time ago was testing PET pop bottle caps' security. So I know!

Best was when we tried a new recipe for M&S. The trial pop production run was put in the boiler room to make sure it would not ferment. It did! The pressure reached about 120 psi. On the nightshift 'certain people' used to drop the 1 litre bottles down a bit of drain pipe resting on the car park, cap first, and with the 'mortar tube' aimed for the A617 main road.

The sound they made on launching and the general effect is the funniest thing I've ever experienced.

Think I need to get out more....
