Have you considered a JTS Aircuda? As I understand it, they are very accurate and can be had for around 400.00

yeah, for now I leaned a pallet against a tree and stretched an old door mat to it. Didn’t work still sounded like hitting wood.
ive got some left over carpet pad I’ll try.

You can try a 5 gallon bucket and fill it with rubber mulch. Cut a square on the lid of the 5 gal bucket for the target. Then place your carpet on top of the rubber mulch and then the lid. The lid will help hold the mulch and target. The carpet won’t let the mulch fall out of the bucket. If you want to be 100% sure that they’ll be no pass through, put some 2x4 behind the bucket or in the bucket first. I do this in my basement. I don’t hear the impact.

OK... I am ready to roll. My Zelos arrived in short order, thanks to Midwest Gun Works. GX Pump under-delivered on their promised delivery time, but it finally showed up today. I just put an initial charge on the air cylinder (attached to rifle) to get a benchmark on my GX-C3 pump.
0-3000psi with no cylinder : 19 seconds
0-1000 1:50 (1min 50sec)
0-2000 3:56
0-3000 5:52
0-3500 6:44
I'm going to let that cylinder sit overnight and see how well the gun holds pressure.
I can tell I need a desiccant tube. I was surprised to see a tiny splash of water after 6 min of pumping.
