Nowhere near as impressive as longer range groupings you high power well practiced/eperienced folks get but once I got my Walther lever working I got this set free-stannding at 20 feet with just the sights. 8 shots per group.
Made me happy!
It is a nice change from the most of the action pistols to be able to get this tight from that far (far for me in the basemnt anyways)

This is FUN!!!

Thanks Ace.
Glad I can practice inside and not be limited to outdoor plinking.
It is a nice way to end the evening and since its all set up it isnt a big production to get a few rounds off.
Considering what we are playng with it is suprisingly relaxing.

My 20 ft mark is at my work bench then past hanging and piled laundry, kitty litter station, through a door, though the "crawl spaces" (more ilke a duck down space) past piles of stuff, and into my traps.
I think walking from the firing line to the targets is more dangerous and ricochets!
It is an combo firng range/obstacle course! and a bit like being in a submarine too boot.
Still grateful to be able to shoot indoors whenever I want to. Certainly not complaining, "just reporting" as they say.
Happy Thanksgiving

Nice shooting Plinker.It's so nice to shoot inside eh.
I only have 13 feet that i can shoot at anytime i want inside.The targets are right behind me as i type this.All i have to do is turn around and shoot.lol.But when my wife isn't home i have a full 10 meters to shoot.It's getting a little expensive to keep sending her to the movies though.I may have to find her a boyfriend, :wink:

If you put up a mirror A) you dont have to turn around (at least with pistols) and B) it will seem like 26 feet.

I am sure you already tried getting her into airgunning...so it seems you have to make some tough choices. Perhaps start with gettign her into a book club before the boyfriend approach.

Years ago when I had a 60' range going from a basement into the crawlspace of the attached duplex, I set up a pulley system to transport the target across the crawlspace to the backstop. It made for more shooting and less crawling.

That is in the old noodle planning stage and a remote light control.....so I can turn the light on and off.
Nice to get 60 feet!
I can puch out to 30 now I think with a few more boxes moved.
