Sort of my thinking, I did some target shooting in the garden in lue of doing some HFT and found I was pants at the standing at best, and not alot better at the kneeling either, consequentially I have yet to attend any HFT events
Then I picked up this Model 24D in a dodgy deal with the same mate I'm getting the model 6 from, it was in a proper sh!t state, so I'm currently rebuilding it while incorporating stuff I've learned from the tech heads on this good forum and utilising my skills to make a new stock as well
I made my pellet catcher from a half inch thick slate, some 6 inch thick memory foam, couple of pairs of my mums old jeans folded up and an MDF box, its fairly heavy and stops a 16 grain .22 pellet at 11.6fpe, even at 2feet when I crono, from my BSA Lightning XL with no dramas, about 50% stop short of the foam and fall out the jeans
