"PAPER Target Hole Punching
Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2013 2:05 pm
On line Competitions usually involve downloading a target on to paper which when shot @ tears badly with pistol power guns, thus making accurate scoring a nightmare. I get round this by gluing all my targets on to cardboard i use wall paper paste just mixing half a cup @ a time, and do several targets @ one session they dry in an hour or two, i keep these for actual comp targets & put up with the tearing on practice targets the cardboard comes from boxes such as you get from "amazon" or cereal boxes or any boxes big enough up to 3 ply card board thickness. The target is atached to my target box with a bulldog clip.
The target box is 14" high x 10" wide x 18" deep (36cm x 26cm x 46cm) the back half of the box is packed with old telephone books, argos catalouges etc (the front half the face you shoot at) is loosely packed with old newspapers magazines or leaflets, this will safely stop pellets up to 12ftlbs energy. From time to time you replace the front section + empty out the used pellets. safe & happy shooting , M.
PS: the box itself is just a 3ply cardboard & will last a year or so after each session i put brown packing tape over the holes on the front face.
