Back yard shooting

Hey guys. So I finally got my .25 wildcat shooting very good. One of the issues was some of the pellets were just barely clipping the air stripper and endcap causing them to wobble or spiral slightly. Even though I fixed that issue, I still see an occasional pellet with a little wobble. I know there no longer clipping so it must be the pellets or the wind. I'm shooting down over a small river valley with my targets on the other side of the river. The wind blows erratically each way as well as updrafts . Either way even the wobbly ones are pretty accurate and I'm done messing with my gun.......
Finally. I hope.
So here's a video. 65 yards . Wind 10 to 15. I've gotten better groups but considering the wind today I'm happy with this one, and of course the really good groups happen when I'm not recording.lol.

It looks like a lot of fun and gave me an idea for making some of my own. I'm going to try for a "progressively harder" spinner setup. Steel plate spinners, all in a row. Starting with 1-1/2" and taking off 1/4" for each subsequent one all the way down to 1/4" then a 1/8". Then maybe a pice of bailing wire or string after the 1/8". Weld them all to cut pieces of a steel pipe and stick 'em on a rod with washers in between. 
Are those shotgun shells below the left spinners? Or, are they "simulated" shotgun shells? I always enjoyed when Ted shot the shotgun shells in slo-mo. So much fun to watch!
Thanks for posting this, there's a lot of ideas in your setup.

I actually have some spinners that are progressively smaller. Only 3 that go from 1 inch to 3/4 to 1/2. The 1 inch aluminum circle came off. I have to fix it. Those spinners I set up today had 2 of the circles that I shot off also. I need some new bolts that aren't hardened. Too brittle. Those aren't shells. They are pieces of a 1 1/4 " wooden dowel that I wrapped with aluminum flashing and duct tape. Those are also taking a beating. I'll have to make more.Thats a good idea,you have to make them progressively smaller down to 1/8 " . I might have to try that as well. Thanks Tom.
