Title: HomeDepot Bucket Pellet BackStop
Post by: 0351_Vet on November 12, 2012, 09:54:45 PM
I made a simple Backstop for a Buddy of mine to use at his house. Cost about $20 USD

(1) HomeDepot 5gal. bucket
(6) Bricks of Duct Seal.

Lined bottom of buck and it formed about an 1-1/2" layer.
Works great. :-*

Cool and the orange bucket is a plus! Sadly, for me to go to Home Depot it's a 3 hour round trip  :(

I use a shoe box stuffed full with plastic grocery bags.  Works very well, even for .22 at 5M.  When it startes to get loaded down with pellets in one spot I just "fluff" the bags back up and its good to go.  Even cheaper than a bucket and duct seal!  A normal shoe box stood on end is all I use, doesn't have to be a very big one, its only about 5" deep, and very portable.

My disposable backstop is a USPS medium flat-rate box filled with a combination of junk mail and shredded paper (from old bills).    Works well for air pistol at 7 yards.  When it gets too torn up or full, I either toss it or use it as a secondary backstop for shooting the air rifles.
