any recommendations for using it would be great as at the minute i dont think it is safe whether its my fault (shooting at the wrong material) or the power of the pistol i also find its not that accurate im a welder and i have made a load of metal targets to use but didn't attempt to use it on them because of the rebound when shooting the wood i though it would be worse on metal?

so the things i have shoot at is:

wood = sent the bullet back at me
hard plastic bottle = put a mark on it but didnt penetrate it
bean tin = again marked it but no penetration and unsure if the if the pellet ricochet
balloon pegged into the grass = pop and i am assuming penetration into the ground.

The kids have had a go shooting at the ground but i would like to shoot at some sort of target without the risk of ricochet i just thought the problem was the air pistol was not powerfull enough?
