Re: Shooting a BB gun in back yard

When I got my grandson a Red Ryder, I made a backstop from some old ceiling tiles. I knew they would be soft enough to absorb the bb's, and not allow them to bounce back. They are also dense enough so you can use thumb tacks to fasten targets into place. Every big box store sells them, and if you ask the salespeople, they will often sell you pieces that have broken corners or stains for next to nothing.

I used the tiles that are 2' x 4', making a target frame large enough so that there are very few 'misses'.

As my entire backyard is fenced, I did not ask anyone's permission.
