I posted this elsewhere, I know a few of you may have seen it. A member on another board inspired me and I just thought I might be able to inspire someone else.

I decided my garage is too cold in the winter to enjoy shooting for long and too small for any real fun except blasting army men at 20 feet. So I started on my christmas present to myself.

2 door steel cabinet, fully lined with self adhesive duct insulation to dampen sound. I'll need to sprayglue some cloth over it to kill the reflection but it works quite well to take the twang out of thin metel. My whole jeep is lined with it under the carpet. I reinforced the top 2 shelves to carry the weight of the .22 rimfire trap. When I'm done, I lock my pistols in, roll it into the corner and call it a day.

My basement goes pretty much unused except for storage and I have a fairly long house. I can just get 18yrds for the Talon and have marks set at 5 and 10 meter for the pistols (P3 and a 2300S) and occasional 10 meter with the SS.

In the lower left corner you'll see my favorite pellet trap for the pistols. An extra heavy 9x12 cookie sheet with .5inch of duct seal. works perfect and with the duct seal rolled smooth the paper targets stick flat right against it. And it's super portable unlike the monster duct seal trap behind it.

FYI
That big stack of pellets on the right are all 2.99 / 500 cheapo coated beemans (wads and hollow points) oddly the P3 and 2300S both shoot as well with these as the $13 tins at close ranges.

Happy Festivous
