Easy bell target.

[2Ten]

I bought this cowbell with a handle at Tactor Supply for $3.98. I think it’s for calling in you cows or something. It had a plastic handle grip that I slid off. I can now stick the handle in the ground wherever I want it and then have a good bell target.

The steel is pretty mild. It definitely wouldn’t stand up to firearms, but it’s doing okay with my break barrels.

Looks like it’s taken a bit of a beating with those 4 shots. Bass pro shops has some decent targets, but I highly recommend building a rubber mulch trap. All the materials cost me around $20 and it’ll last essentially forever. Unless you are looking for some sort of audible noise when shooting. The rubber mulch trap is super quiet, which is another reason I like mine as my neighbors may raise an eyebrow if I hit a cowbell 50 times.

Ahhh... the joys of not having neighbors. as a matter of fact, if folks around here don't hear the occasional gun fire they come around to see if everything is ok.

I live in a rural setting, and I wanted the sound so I would know if I hit it from a fair distance. Yep, four hits up to that point. I’m not gonna say how many misses. Lol

Do you live in downtown Detroit?

Just kidding luckily with suppression I can shoot without making much noise. Wish I could suppress the Gamo break barrel. That sounds like a nail gun.

I just got a tractor supply down the street. I’ll have to give them a visit

I’d love to live in a rural area, but then I couldn’t shoot these pesky iguana from my backyard

Loud guns make me as happy as loud pipes on a Harley.

Nice target! Everyone needs some cowbell! How far away is it? I have a mutant soup can at 80 yards and I love the sound of hitting it. PaToink!

About 50yds. Pretty satisfying when I do hit it.

I've seen folks use 4" 1.4" wall square steel pipe cut offs. They sound really good when hit.

My son got a boat load of those. He gave me 70 bells.
‘This plate and several others I put a bell to cover the hole. You have to rotate them occasionally. But they are awesome. I have 20 bells up .

Those are 1 inch holes. Enjoy. Crow
