Not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this but since I started it here a couple of threads ago...
Feel free to move it if you want Stimpy!
Now that I'm an expert at casting gluletts and find they work very well in my handguns, I decided I'd construct a practice bullet backstop in my basement. A bunch of PVC later I have a 4' x 6' target holder set up. The idea is that the gluletts pass through a piece of cardboard used as a target holder and impact a cloth spread over the back of the frame which is at a 45
o angle to the front of the frame. The gluletts are deflected downward and accumulate inside the 4x4 base of the frame.
The backing I am trying first is a 8 oz canvas drop cloth. Trouble is, a direct hit glulett will go right through it at 30 feet!
If the glulett goes through the cardboad target holder first it works, but just barely.
So I'm going to try 10 oz canvas and see what happens. Problem is, if I have to go much heavier, the backing will weigh to much for the 3/4 inch PVC to support. Nothin's ever easy...
