What is the best mixture for painting on the face of bell targets as a strike indicator? Thanks.
No problem sir, we use Johnsons Baby Oil to mix the paint for the Bell target at the Boinger Bash as it doesn't discolour.
I did wonder if Sudocrem would also work as it's a mix of Zinc Oxide and Paraffin Wax and would save a lot of messing about for folks to use on a home range.
All the best Mick

Thanks once again, Mick. When I lived close to Bisley I regularly shot bell target at BFTO using my vintage BSA’s, but never gave a thought to the messy white stuff which always magically appeared on the firing point. Anyway I’ll give it a go down here in Bournemouth now I have a faceplate.
