New #blog post: Building an air rifle target backstop

For various reasons, I've been getting back into #shooting and decided that I wanted to be able to (safely) shoot in the garden.

This post describes building a backstop to trap and stop pellets.

@ben Nice! And - understandably - fancier and stronger than my Airsoft targets.

@neil It's funny actually: as I was building it I was thinking quite a bit of airsoft backstops that I created when I was younger - one used the shelves from a corner desk for the cabinet and then a curtain to stop the BB

Bouncing was a much bigger issue with those though :D
