What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Hateful McNasty]

rebuilt one of my back stop and started thinking maybe makeing a pellet catch instead. ( trap ? )

I just shot pellets wherever or ting steel and one day just built a few traps . Nothing fancy but 5 gallon bucket traps ..
Afterwards I think how I should of did the traps years ago ... No pellets all over the ground or in trees downrange just no big pellet trash or pollution..lol.. I st shoot and periodical empty the traps..

So far one shot with my Atomic and a H&N Terminator and it hit dead center on a 1/2” target under my bird feeder 16.5y.

What kind?
I using the buckets now but this kind worked good


A sand bottom to catch pellets and a colander to sift out sand when cleaning worked well

I've got a very similar pellet trap but 1/8th steel construction. Wouldn't the pellets blow through the plywood backing pretty soon? My TX is about 13fpe and will in short order chop it's way through plywood of any thickness it seems. .22 guns and don't even bother with plywood. I got some free 3/4 ply pieces from work and my Ghost shot through it at 75 yards like nothing...oi.

Ya, the plyboard don't last long .. just add a steel backing plate inside on the sloped panel part.

What am I doing airgun-related today? Hoping to take stock of my current pellet amounts so I can prioritize future purchases if a good deal pops up (missed a few pellet bundles in the AGN classifieds because I wasn’t sure whether I had what I needed in that type or not). I’m also trying to track down my next purchase, but both of the guns I’m looking for/considering are proving to be rather elusive…

Outside of that, I considered bringing the TX200 to work for some pest control because the rain/wind makes for a slow day at an airport, but it also makes for a poor day to hunt for pests lol. So I’m browsing the forums in my downtime instead!

4 pellets shot today. 2 at a target to verify zero, two more a few hours later at an invasive. It moved when I took the first shot, 2nd shot was shot on the money.

These little juveniles are quick little buggers and don’t stay in the same place too long.

Even if you don't need a particular pellet, you can always use more pellets! For a "causal plinking" pile if nothing else

I bought a new compressor. I do not do a ton of shooting or fill storage tanks so could not justify a really fancy one so I got a GX CS2 Compressor. It should do a good job for me.

That fills tanks ? It could I guess but ...lol ijdk

A guy had a scuba compressor ( maxair? Or one like it) for 1200$ . If it was fully working and maintained it's was priced fair.

No, no storage tanks, just guns. This was $250. which is a good buy.
