INDOOR RANGE SETUP VERSION 2.0

The moment I saw the lovely wooden flooring I thought to myself I bet he lives in New York LOL!

Hahaha Indeed!

Yup, Central NYer most of my life, and now an Upstate NYer. 
That's also why I'm trapped indoors.. Hibernating through winter. 

 

Sam -

Well, I do have 3 tables, so, why not?! 
We'll spin em' side ways to make room for like 6 people. haha

 

Sam -

Thank you very much!

 

Sam -

You must have just moved in. No one has that much open space in a house they have lived in for any length of time. 

Certainly does look nice.

Ive lived in my place 40 years and it needs cleared out and remodeled. Retiring next week but not sure I want to even think about a major remodeling project .

I've lived in this apartment for going on 2.5 months now,
my previous apt for about the same, and before that, I bounced around probably 5 other times.. It's not fun at all, but Finally - I'm starting to feel like a have a 'home'..
This place is above the vape shop that I'm at and my friend owns the building. The apt sat vacant and completely gutted before this for over 14 years.. 
I / we spent many many hours fixing it up over the past year or so, and it's finally 'livable'. At least for Me anyways..

As for that much open space.. Haha yeah, I know.. 
Actually, I'm pretty content with really small places, and only really need a little bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom.. 
Everything I own can be and is consolidated into boxes, so again.. I have wayyy more 'space' than needed..

Photography, Shooting, and Radio Controlled aircraft are my 3 main hobbies, so as long as I have room for the gear involved in those things, I'm good to go! 

I used to need huge garages for my tools, machines, welders, specialty equipment, etc. But not anymore.. Talk about some serious down sizing..

So far so good. And keeping things out of the way and off of the walls also allows for other cool things like this: lol



Viewing AirGunNation and YouTube on a 110 inch 'big screen' is pretty damn fun!  

So, to get back to your original comment.. "No one" - Nope, there's ME. haha

Hey, congratulations on your retirement!!
My folks retired a few years ago, and it was the same for them.. 
Their house - the one I grew up in had 5 of us there, and filled up really quickly.. 
I'm out, but, my 2 sisters still have a LOT of their own things there, plus mom and dad's stuff, 
so even the thought of remodeling is scary. Dad's a carpenter, so, he finds ways and still gets it done.. 

My advise - Enjoy your downtime FIRST!
Then tackle projects 1 at a time. It's easier that way, less headache / stress, and they'll get done.. 
Then onto the next - if/when the time comes. I learned that one the hard way.. 

 

Sam -

Very nice range. May I borrow your design?

Consider anything I do and post to be 'shareware'!

Even better if/when people alter/improve the design

 

Sam -

Nice trap, That is a sweet setup. How deformed are the pellets when you pick them up? are they fully collapsed or barely damaged?

Thanks x 2!!  

Pellet deformity . . . That actually depends.. 
I've noticed a BIG difference when using different types, and different speeds.. 
Some will hit and drop, some hit / deflect - and still look relatively in tact..
Others will bury deep into the 1st layer of rubber, and really mushroom out.. 
The harder Crosmans usually don't deform as much.. 
JSBs will deform pretty well and so do H&Ns - Just not quite as badly.. 
JSBs being softer and H&Ns being harder..

I mostly shoot .22, but I do have 1 rifle configured as a .25 
That said, the previous setup held up Very Well, it just got really heavy [loaded up]
There was probably more lead in that thing than a pellet manufacturing factory. haha 

I just found this pic. These pellets were shot at a lower velocity, so, not too much damage:
[I usually adjust to the lower side of the power levels just to give me better shot counts]


This was a fun one - Medium power Crosman Premier.. 
Obviously the pellet is made better than our US currency is now a days..
 

What I like the best is - when shooting pellet in/on pellet over and over and over again, 
the rounds are fairly easy to dig out.. Usually I can get em' by hand / no tools required.


Annnd a few more..
 

I've also had a few that ricocheted that after inspecting, 
yes they were grooved/scored, but, still so well in tact that to be honest, 
if I wasn't worried about bbl damage, I probably would have tried to fire them again.
