Home made practice targets
Snowy days make me glad for airsoft
I decided I wanted to do some drills at home today, and I found out the other day my new CED shot timer has an "airsoft mode".
I brought home some box's from work and printed up the specs on IPSC targets. I made them 3/4 size, did one master and then use it to cut out the others. I made a A zone template as well and trace it out in pencil (all 3/4 size).

Re: Home made practice targets
Does an airsoft projectile make a mark or go through cardboard?
What distance (range) are you going to typically engage from?
Which Airsoft pistol do you have?FNX-9 Two-tone

Re: Home made practice targets
will go right through two layers and out the back. Without 2 layers it will dent the wall gas guns are amazingly potent. Without protection they will leave scars, break skin through clothes, chip teeth, and leave a nice welt even through a normal shirt.

Re: Home made practice targets
Damn I didn't know they were that expensive.
How do the "spring" guns compare - not at all?
Hmm which one offered out there would be similar to my CW9...hmm.
Thinking I might need to get me a 1911 so I can get a good airsoft for training - how is that for justification? I don't think thw wife will accept it though.Last edited by falcn; January 8th, 2010 at 06:08 PM.

Re: Home made practice targets
your logic sounds solid to me
I have no experiance with spring guns.
A brief search didnt show any gas blowback kahr models. There are some nice GLOCK's though too.........

Re: Home made practice targets
If you cut out the A-zone and attach a loose peice of fabric to the back, it makes sort of a bag, and will catch all your BBs, assuming you don't miss.
I participated in an Active Shooter training in a high school and we used gas powered airsoft guns. My favorite of course was the M4 when I was point. They had Glocks and SIGs for the flank and rear guard positions.
They also had a Mossberg 500 that is supposed to fire 6 BBs at a time, but we didn't use it.Adams County Sport Handgunners Association - President

Re: Home made practice targets
I picked up a gas powered airsoft pistol from Walmart. Shoots 400fps uses CO2. Not bad for I think $40. Kind of resembles a Sig. Trigger REALLY sucks buy not bad practice.
