    Self healing targets?

    Just saw the post about the adhesive stickers. I think it will depend a lot on the adhesive. When the target is struck, it stretches around the projectile, so that may unstick the sticker. You may also try a paint pen or something like white-out to add a small point of aim. Obviously, you'd need...

    Self healing targets?

    Self healing targets?

    Thank you for the mention, SqrlHntr. The forum members lit up our Google Analytics, so I figured I'd come and see what spurred on the interest. While we haven't done any official testing with air rifles, we've had a few customers report back with their experience and I'll try and summarize what...
