oaken Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 If all you are going to hit it with is rimfire, just get a sheet of 6mm Hardox and hang it so it faces down slightly. A 2' x 3' sheet would probably cost £25/30 if you go to Pegasus in Andover. Get them to punch a hole in each of the top corners insert bolts in such a way that it makes the hanging point a little behind the plate so that it hangs facing down to avoid ricochet. Sorted :-) no expensive welding or bulky bags of aggregate with wooden frames and self healing membranes. It will last until you decide to try it with centerfire ;-) and you can pack it away to stop the pikeys filching it. Rup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 5" thick slice of oak tree, was using it in the garden yesterday for the air rifle, tried the desmond on it, did the job fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Even comes with 'scoring rings' I just push in a coloured drawing pin-the tree has natural rings already.Recycles as firewood too,near zero carbon footprint. A series of spaced rubber backed old carpet tiles seems to work too,in a wooden box . Gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henryo Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Likewise we use a roughly 3x1x1' section of greenheart for rimfire/centrefire. Works very well but probably weight close to 100kg - you need a vehicle to move it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
