Hit me with your best shot....

Extremely nice setup and great photos. Thanks for sharing.

The only issue I see is that if you can hit the smallest ones the larger ones become immaterial and no fun to shoot at.

I have a set of metallic silhouette targets. Unfortunately, I don't have the range to set them at varying distances so after I was able to consistently hit the chickens the rest are no longer fun. I now have to try for head shots on the larger animals.

The KYL is an awesome target set-up, especially when shooting with friends who may not shoot air guns all that much. Always so rewarding to shoot reactive targets, built really well and takes down for pretty good portability. We've only shot ours out to about 40 yards.

As to the above comment by DeadOnShot, my d@mned wife taught me something about shooting the KYL. She shoots nowhere near as much as I do, but is a natural. She shoots the KYL from small to large, and cleans it almost every time. I started doing the same, and found my success rate much higher. Maybe it is just that I am not getting so nervous as my 7th and 8th targets get really small? Mental game.

After cleaning it the first time my next game/goal was (with a 10 round magazine) large to small, with both remaining shots on the small. Took me a while to do it, but once I did I just walked away from that target for the day. Done! And very satisfied.

I concur, especially on the backyard!

I respect people who are meticulous with their surroundings 

I have seen photos of nice airguns being shot in backyards with lots of garbage and clutter.

I find it distasteful.

Me, I take care of mine like I do my personal hygiene:







I am glad my son is like me; open our pantry/cabinets and you see everything lined up according to brand and/or size/shape

Forget the KYL target...how much for the rest of that yard/shooting range, @Shambozzie??? Amazing set up!

I'm lucky enough to have 1.5 acres in the middle of San Jose and should start putting more time and resources in improving my shooting area. The first 10+ years of this hobby has been spent buying and trying as much different guns as I could get my hands on. Now that I've had the chance to own most of the guns I've been interested in, it's time to invest more into the things that will help me shoot the keepers better.

I guess, for now, my only consolation is that Mahomie still has Lamar's number so far!!! I'm sorry I went there . . . 

. . . no, I'm not!

I used to have a huge property with a stream running the boundary of the farthest end of the back of the farm land. It most certainly was absolute heaven for airgun and firearm shooting.

Since this is discussing targets, has anyone used something like this crossbow target cube as a pellet trap? I'm in a neighborhood and quietness is important. I don't need the whap of a pellet hitting a steel or wood backstop.

ETA--Never mind. While scrolling through this forum a few pages down I found a post about rubber mulch and how to make a trap. Easy and cheap.

Love seeing all the backyard ranges. As a welder/fabricator I am looking to build some targets for at my house and cabin. I just finished clearing a range at my cabin that I can shoot out to 200+ yards. I am going to be making a series of target stands that I can put up at various ranges.
