I have a motorized Caldwell Shootin Gallery. It's made for .22 rimfire.
As a winter project, I'm thinking of building a set of light weight targets for it, then
I could use it in my garage as an indoor range for both air rifle and air pistol practice.
The main problem I will need to over come will be finding a material that is strong enough
to withstand the 400 -800 fps. strike of a pellet, yet light enough to be knocked down.
The existing .22 targets appear to be 3/16 steel.
Any ideas out there, or am I reinventing the wheel?
