Another backdrop I use is a concrete slab 2ft*3ft inclined forward at 20 Degrees, this deflects pellets down to another slab on the floor, this removes any residue energy from the pellet and they can be swept up, and it is fairly quiet.

Somewhere I saw a pellet trap advertised where one shot sideways into an ever tightening spiral of sheet metal (in the manner of a nautilus shell). That one would be sure to cause open revolt in the neighborhood. Speaking of good neighbors: Do you recall the "Goode Neighbors" episode where Tom Goode shoots a vegetable thief with his Webley?   Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 5:03 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND Slavia wrote: Always good to keep the neighbors happy.

I do Remember that episode of the "Good Life", very funny! I didn't know that the series had been shown in the States, there was another episode with the Webley where he was going to shoot the chicken.

Now we have BBC America on cable, and one can obtain DVD's through interlibrary loan. My daughter is a fan of Doctor Who, although I suspect the origin of her interest is a young gentleman who is also a fan. During Easter break from college she made us sit through three seasons of the new series on DVD.   Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 10:59 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6908 Location: "Out There" Slavia wrote: My daughter is a fan of Doctor Who, although I suspect the origin of her interest is a young gentleman who is also a fan.

I still think the only "Dr. Who" was Tom Baker- but maybe that's just me... _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

You can usuall tell how old someone is by which Dr they liked best, I liked William Hartnell No 1 best, but if you going on his partner then it's Billy Piper.

No need for a spring compressor if you've got a sonic screwdriver.
