I made a right meal on my 1st effort with the biathlon target 😂 I agree that the rings andll the hole get a little mixed up when aiming at times. I might paint the paddles to help see through the reducers
There is something you can buy at the hardware store called “duct seal” putty. It’s not cheap, but it makes a near silent backdrop if you line a baking dish with bricks of it. You get a “splut” on impact and you can “heal” the putty just by squishing it back into shape. I don’t think you will recover any of the lead thought.
Having the whole target area black (including the centre) might not be great for scope use but it's perfect for intended use, i.e. with biathlon / match rifles that use diopter sights :)
We use a large plastic storage bin filled with shredded rubber mulch for our backyard “silent” trap. It works great, the bin keeps the mulch and lead inside so there’s no mess or dust if it’s used indoors. Just don’t use or make the box too big, otherwise it gets difficult to relocate.

Just a thought you could mount your metal funnel type pellet catcher permanently to a piece of A4 sized plywood then just slip it into the angle iron target holder, that way it could be totally level and your able to collect all the lead. But still be able to remove it when needed. Just my two cents.
with the 12 ftlb guns a old levi jeans in the catcher will work ./ with high power airguns a large 8mm hard steel plate under a sharp angel resting on stones , and on top a 100 kg sand and inside wil be silent , the bullets will slide in the sand , only a option id its permanent
Have you seen the guy who shoots with his goat 🐐? He melted all his old lead pellets into the pellet catheter as a lining. Then all lead that hits the lead lining just becomes part of a lump of lead . He says it’s near silent
I have an excellent new rifle that I was due to review, but another youtuber stole my thunder and I didn't want to be accused of copying so I'm waiting for the dust to settle before I feature it.
Hi there, nice video... I'll buy a few clipboards myself now, cracking idea. Btw, what did you do with your two budget underlevers? I've just bought both to get back into plinking after 35 years away and I have to say, with a little tlc and decent scopes I'm really quite pleasantly surprised. So thanks for the advice, The only issue now is the missus has been bitten by the big and wants a rifle... But the x36 magnum and the war hawk are way too big and heavy for her. Any recommendations? ( I think my next is an HW97 import) Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work
