Aha... I spot your evil plan Paddy, You intend to sweep the CO2 category by employing that new superaccurateandpowerful (tm) CO3 stuff huh!! ??

Unfortunately it wont work because they've not developed the proper targets yet.

I thought I checked it for mistakes .

Well spotted, that will be two points taken off your score for June

Hey where'd this thread come from? I thought the last couple of days had been quiet. lol

I prefer the scoresheet as it is, in alphabetical order, 6th place, woohoo! BTW Paddy, did I mention my Sunday name is Aardvaark?

Hi all

I've been using pieces of fibreboard taped together with the pargets pinned to it to shoot & practice for this comp.
But it soon gets shot to bits

I found this american website offering really nice holder/traps for paper targets.
http://www.archerairguns.com/airgun-pellet-trap-s/6.htm
Will cost too much to get sent over here... but I've found its possible to cobble together something similar quite cheaply.

Basic taget holder is a hardboard clipboard with the centre jigsawed out
(the clipboards are very cheap @£1.99 each and come with the metal clip)

I've stuffed mine with rags and this catches the pellets a treat.

If you tuck the bottom of the paper under the bottom of the clipboard it holds the paper quite tightly.

It also helps on the scoring front as the pellet hole folds inwards - if you flap it back - you get a great POI mark that makes scoring 100% accurate.

Could be an opportunity for some enterprising soul with more time than I to make a batch for others perhaps?
