Setting up a bell target range

[les allam]

There is a chap on this forum (red bob ) who make's Bell targets,they look great. .
Or he can supply the face plate .Best to give Bob a PM to make sure he still does them.
Get your self some Titanium Dioxide powder and mix it with Johnson's baby oil to make a non drying paint.A little goes a long way.
The Hw30s is a great gun for Bell target shooting,my one is spot on and is great for young and adult shooters.
I made my Bell target out of hard wood ,with one of Bob's face plate's.I used a fire bell inside and it works a treat.

A .177 HW30s is ideal for bell target & easy for your daughter to use too.
Are you sure your cadet major is a .22? That'd make it pretty rare!

Another vote for the HW30S.

Quality, lightweight, superb trigger, low cocking effort and super-sweet firing cycle. Many members on here have fitted aperture sights to these with this very discipline in mind.


I've often thought about setting up a "bell" target at home, but without the bell, just a faceplate. And then I saw Bozzer's idea of the even more therapeutic version........

Red bob's targets are a thing of joy. Same as sold by protek. Occasionally he puts one up for sale on here.

I want to make a bell target but using a Tibetan Singing Bowl instead of a bell. The singing bowls are made from the same material ( literally bell metal ). The 'singing' is the bowls resonating and producing a wonderful therapeutic healing sound.

So you can shoot and meditate at the same time. It's perfect ... the meditation breathing will aid the shooting stability. The shooting stability means you hit the 'bell' more. The more you hit the bell the more therapy you are getting. Win and win.

Be happy and be well.

Too much of this bell ringing and the dog will tire of barking at the front door.
