This one is smaller than my others. At just 30 inches high and 16 inches wide it holds a A4 paper target well. The particle board ( worktop ), being 2 inches thick, provides a more than adequate substance to stop and hold pellets. My first backstop has only just gone through the first layer, despite having safely stopped over 2500 .22 pellets* from my HW80 k. (running at 11.7 flbs)
The inside measures just 12 inches. At this size A4 sheets fit just nicely.
Again, the 15 inches allows easy placement of paper targets.
Total timber needed for this project is :
I added another strip of pine to catch any falling pellets and bits of paper/board. This also provides a nice place to stand bottle tops or other suitable targets.
