So I finally got a bunch of that dang yaupon cleared out so that I can get a shooting lane. Built me a frame to hold 3/16"T x 4"W plates to stop pellets. Works like a charm. I knew the bug was bitting me and Air Arms is all fine and stuff but FX Impact heading my way now. Since I cleared yaupon out the rats are coming out, they don't last long when I see them tho. Sure is fun being a growed up kid.

+2 on that. In fact, I'm thinking I'll copy it...and make one modification; a drawer at the bottom. This would make collecting spent pellets a drudgery free task.
edited to add: the drawer should be on slides and have a fine screen bottom

I have a drawer on my indoor air pistol back stop that I shoot alot. Gives me quite a bit of good lead for my BP rifle. Thought about a tray on this one. Once I get to using it alot I'll probably fashion a tray to catch the lead.

Pressure treated 2x4's and 3/16" thick 4"Wx4'L steel plate. If i'd done a single 3' x 4' steel piece it'd been 92-94#'s and that's just too heavy for me too deal with. By going to 4"W strips it solved a lot of problems.

Nice range! Put some bait out, encourage those pests to stay still for a few seconds. Works like a charm.
