well finally got to try it out. I don't shoot much; thanks to work and other stuff.. I wish I knew how to do videos. I;ve got a brand new colt defender from ssso sports which I used on it. it knocked the pin targets up to the magnet level and when I hit the back row the front row came back down just like I planned. worked great and good fun. but it was a pain making it. I;m happy with it. there;s no patent on it so knock yourselves out if you;ve got patience enough to make one. portable too ;I just carry it from the garage to the back yard shed. only 22 in. long and about 10 high. shoot from about 10 meters or a bit closer. paint flakes off too when hit.

Glad it works.
You inspired me to finally put mine together.I finished it last night but ran into a problem which I thought might happen.The only magnets I had were 1/2 inch rare earth ones.The targets stick great but even with my most powerful gun (sub 500) the pellet just shatters when I hit the target that releases them. :lol:

.
Oh well,At this gives me a reason to go to Lee Valley :wink:

good to see you made one. ya my magnets are pretty small I think 1/4 "x 1/4". but they are strong. but when the target is sliding away from them when hit ; they don't stick as much . I wanted to try a few of my other guns on it but haven't had a chance yet. lets see some pictures of it. hope it works; have fun.
