Home Air Gun Range......There's An App For That. :D

I figured I would show my range setup just in case there are folks out there who are getting into air gun shooting or are just looking to put a little tech in their shooting.

I am very blessed to have a very nice finished basement 60 foot run wall to wall. So I have basically a 20 yard indoor air gun range setup. Now 20 yards may not be that far but it is far enough to enjoy the air guns as well as far enough that being able to see your hits isn't easy with iron sights. Even scoped its nice to have a closer look so........I set up the following.

First my shooting position and high tech bench rest.


My targets and trap are located in an unfinished area of the basement. As you can see I have a shop light and Wyze cam trained on them.


At my shooting location I use either an IPAD or the TV to give me live shooting feedback from the target.




I cannot tell you how enjoyable this is and how nice it is to be able to simply glance at the IPAD or TV to see your shots.

So there you have my high tech, indoor air gun shooting range. I post this in hopes that maybe it will give others ideas. An outdoor version of this would be fairly simple to put into place as well.

As always, take care and shoot safe,
Chris

Cool indoor range. I could setup something similar, except my water pump system and electrical is on the wall at the far end. I would shoot the other way, but the wife might not take kindly to holes in the wall.

My fuse box is above my target, hence the 1 inch piece of 2ftx4ft wood behind it. If I ever have a shot go so egregiously wild as to be like a foot or more off target it will hit that wood or a steel tool box.

I don’t own anything that would likely have the juice to penetrate the wood much less penetrate the wood and have enough energy to continue to penetrate through the outer fuse box door and if by some magic miracle it did that pellet is going to be flat and have NO energy.

Now all my guns are springer/SSP type stuff so the most powerful stuff I have is probably 850-900fps .177. and I am 60 feet out.

Now if you are running some of the larger caliber or more powerful PCP guns then yes I would absolutely not do this or I would have a much more substantial emergency backstop above and beyond the trap/target.

Nice pistol. How do you charge it? Tank/compressor or pump? If pump how would rate the pistols difficulty?

Thanks,
Chris
