I've really enjoyed my little target range in the back yard. Every part of my target end has gotten a lot of use... the shelf, the hanging, the spinners. Variety, you know. The re-settable spinners was the last thing and that is a nice and inexpensive little rig that should last a long long time.
I'm a coffee drinker and go through at least one can of coffee a week. The Wally world 100% Arabica came in a metal can for a long time (now they are a foil covered paperish whatever) and I saved a mess of them and their lids. The weekly trips to Target and Wally World and Lowe's and Home Depot, etc. also makes a pile of the plastic bags. So, I made a target out of the metal cans packed full of the plastic bags with the plastic lids facing me.
This will no doubt stop any pellet I ever shoot at it. When I shoot up the lids I'll have a steady supply of new ones to replace with. Target bulls will be printed on adhesive backed paper.
I'll post a final pic when I get it mounted and the bulls attached.
Outstanding idea Davio!
Good idea. :-* :-* :-*
Hey, if you stand it up and shoot through the can, Does the lid pop off? ;) ;D
Top idea :-*
Gotta try one of those in my back yard.

I think I want to come over to your house to shoot!!
i use plastic bags in my pellet trap too.costs less than duct seal.at first i used phonebooks but that got messy.one day i was at the shop a guy came in trying to sell traps made of plastic bags for archery,start using them after that for pellets.a lot less mess
It took me a couple looks to get what you did but that's a great idea. I'm in the beginning process of making a pellet trap and that gives me some additional options.
Tried them out today. The lids stay put. The pellets just kinda slide into the plastic lids with no big holes or cracks, etc. I'm sure they eventually will with umpteen holes all around but it will be quite awhile. I shot about 75-80 times at them and doin' alright so far.
No bulls yet but still shooting at it.
Nice set-up. :-*
Cool !!! :-*
Nice setup Davio what i like about the coffee cans you can take them along with you and there not heavy like the duct seal traps.

great idea! :-*
