Shoot and See Homemade Reactive Targets

[@CleanRunShooting]

This works REALLY well with left over wrapping paper.

[@srspower]

+Brad Griffith Glad it works for you :)

[@Progneto]

That's sure a funny Southern accent you have Bubba. You must be from Alabama! I love the shirt!

[@srspower]

+Jay McMullan Thanks for watching Jay :)

[@joelcrmt]

total blast form the past watching you make these!! when I was growing up here in Canada we had a show called art attack where an English fellow would walk you through making arts and crafts!! he used many of your same colloquialisms such as "corner bits" and "not to worry about that too much" and calling paper "card" Art Attack Mini Makes Thanks for the how to on creating a shoot and see target :)

[@srspower]

Ah yes Neil Buchanan! He was a feature of my childhood too, although I have never been compared to him before! And card is card! Thanks for watching :)

[@thecrazymanfromireland]

Hi super video what kind of paint did you use car paint / graffiti ect

[@MCQBushcraft]

These are great! Thanks for making the video. I'm going to make some of these as they are perfect for pattern testing! Thanks again, Mike

[@srspower]

No problem Mike, you'll find them perfect for illustrating things on Camera :)

[@timward8335]

Hi bud my name is tim. I live and shoot/hunt/fish in Scotland which I love. I would just like to say I think you boys are awesome your vids are very enjoyable to watch and also like the way you offer helpful hints and tips to everyone. Hope you had a good Christmas and hope you have a happy new year. If you ever fancy a shooting trip north of the border let me know. Take care and keep up the good work cheers

[@srspower]

Thanks a lot Tim! I would like to go hunt in Scotland at some point so I will bear you in mind. Happy New Year! :)

[@brandonbelchersr9496]

Have you thought about the spray on chalkboard spray Im using on homemade metal targets still in process of finishing up the targets but figured it would work well..

[@JammyGuns]

Great idea thanks! I'm going to start knocking some of these out.

[@srspower]

+JammyGuns Thanks for watching :)

[@chrism.4682]

Good info. I learned something new today. Thanks for posting a great video on how to do it. Chris M. Peoria, Arizona

[@srspower]

Thanks a lot for watching Chris. Have a look around the channel, might be more stuff you enjoy :)

[@raymckibbin7444]

It's just like a Blue Peter shooting show. Nice one..

[@srspower]

You're not the first to say it! :)

[@TweedsandPheasants]

Cheers for the video. I fancy trying this and testing a couple of game loads.

[@srspower]

Yes its perfect if you want to show patterns etc clearly on Camera. Thanks for watching Nick :)

[@pericodelospalotes5738]

It couldn't be more useful, thanks!

+Perico De Lospalotes Thanks for watching :)

[@russeljohn3471]

Have already subscribed and have watched all the videos you have posted. Really enjoyed them all. Please keep up the good work. Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2014. Russ

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! Merry Christmas to you too :)

[@russeljohn3471]

Cheers mate. Looking forward to watching more of your videos in 2014. I hope to get out on my permission more in 2014. Due to work and family commitments I have not done as much shooting this year as I would have liked, I use an air rifle but hopefully will start pigeon decoying with a shotgun in 2014. Rgds. Russ

[@Homeengineering]

Thanks for the video!! I'm definitely going to have a go and make some for a shotgun pattern plate.

[@srspower]

Give it a go and let me know how you get on! Thanks for watching :)

[@ibrahimbudak4061]

Do you think which one is better pattern to near Sadipur b525 mi MAXUS

[@fishoil2158]

such a beautiful bucolic setting and all those goddammed aircraft~!!! I'd invest in a nice WWII vintage Quad forty and quite those aircraft down.

[@magnussmitt]

I love the shirt!!!....have one just like it!

[@srspower]

David Smith I wear it a lot! Thanks for watching :)

[@guscameron2896]

Sorry if I'm being dim but won't the shot/pellet just go straight through? Surly you can't use this for a rifle.

[@srspower]

Well yes they aren't intended to stop the projectile! A safe backstop behind is a must.

[@rbrewster764]

Great INFO, Thanks ! Where in England are you ?

[@stevie1der4085]

Good work! Great videos... keep it up.

[@ibrahimbudak4061]

ı am flying hunter Which brands and models , respectively, the shotgun can happen to me suggest we take a long-distance shot of some important patten

[@russeljohn3471]

Great video mate,thanks for posting it. Cant wait to try them. Regards russ

[@srspower]

No problem Russel, thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe :)

[@AustinViolence]

I wonder if you could just spray the card with wax and let it dry instead of covering it with tape.

[@rkba4923]

Try using neon or white duct tape. It's easier to work with than the clear packing tape. Love the T-shirt.

[@rgjr.6055]

BRILLIANT!

[@chicagojohn5207]

Excellent idea which gives direct visual results in your video comparing spread effects of wadding types Seems to me results are dependent upon three factors; (1) reduced adhesion between the top, black coating and the substrate, (2) flexure of the substrate prior to failure and (3) lower elasticity in the top, black layer to create inter-laminar shear. Perhaps a clear latex-based acrylic undercoat covered with a more ridged, brittle oil, alkyd or epoxy black topcoat could also work when both layers are fully dried and cured. But your cellophane tape-acrylic system produces great results for display purposes! Thanks for sharing.

[@srspower]

I have found using thinner sellotape works well as it is less likely to warp as the paint dries. Also Matt black acrylic paint works best especially paint used for painting car bumpers as it doesn't flake as easily and gives a better shaped hole. Thanks for watching :)

[@redwhitentrue]

What gun is being used here, at the beginning of the video?

[@srspower]

+redwhitentrue That is my Air Arms s310 in .22 calibre. Thanks for watching :)

[@russellturnbull5384]

Great video!!

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching Russell :)

[@bobihne]

Good Show !! Thank you .

[@srspower]

Thanks for watching :)

[@chadgiroux4970]

Art Attack has become much cooler but I was hoping for a big one🤣

[@maxnaz47]

Instead of using tape, have you thought of using clear contact adhesive in a roll? The stuff you used to have to cover your books with in primary school, comes in 450mm*2m rolls, would seem far easier to work with than a roll of packing tape, especially if you wanted to make some more pattern boards... All decent office/stationery supply stores should stock them...

[@srspower]

+Max Nazistanman I could take a look but aren't they a little thick? Thin is better even the tape i used on this video is a little on the thick side.

[@maxnaz47]

+srspower I'm not sure, i haven't made any yet, just looking around now for different ideas, your method is quick and easy. What results have you found with different thicknesses? And keep in mind, I'm from Australia, i plan making some for the kids with the .22 out to 50m and training for myself with .308 at 500m+, not allowed steel gongs at the range i shoot, and reactive targets are definitely out of the question, at those distances even with my spotting scope (which isn't even that good), i can't make out the shot placement properly and have to wait for range close and drive down to take a look. I'm hoping by experimenting with these style targets (on the cheap) i can find something that suits my needs without having to buy another spotting scope. I notice just using your air rifle, it's making some pretty big spread patterns compared to the .22, what would hitting your style target do with the .308? Perhaps a heavier adhesive would suit my needs better? It's a pretty cool concept, thanks for taking the time to make the vid and to reply, i'll let you know how i go, Cheers from Australia

[@PeakyBlinder]

try a selotape applicator from Amazon and Matt black line marker spray paint from screwfix 3 pound for 750ml I made a crap tone of shoot n see like this. these cards are perfect for zeroing your scope.

[@Abigor_Kion]

Good idea, Easy to do, But i imagine it takes a while to make a days worth. Not sure if its been suggested yet but, Why not just get yourself a bit of 2mm sheet steel and paint the surface black, every time you hit it the paint will flake and rather than spending ages making new ones you can just respray that one or fill in the shot marks with a marker or touch up pen from halfords or something. You could probaly get away with 1mm or even .5mm but a 2mm sheet is going to stop almost anything lead,

[@00coyote60]

If you guessed "What's an English guy doing wearing a Confederate shirt?" You would be right! Great vid though!

[@firecrackers241]

Sweet makes zeroing in a lot better !!!!!!! ;)

[@srspower]

Yes it does, especially when newly fitting a scope, thanks for watching :)

[@enigma9789]

I have seen a whole bunch of these videos now, and i feel like people are going through way to much trouble for this.. step one, get freezer paper. step two, tape it slick side out onto carboard. step three, paint it black. thats all you have to do.. easy and done.. you dont need neon colors, black and white is a great contrast.

[@srspower]

Why not make a video showing how it's done?

[@Thirtn]

That shirt :D lol theres a lot of controversy with that going on here in the states currently.

[@srspower]

Devon Mcgill Yes it seems that rather than dealing with nuanced social issues relating to race Obama thought it would solve the problem if he banned a flag!

[@nnobakht]

+srspower Obama didn't have anything to do with it. It was a state issue and South Carolinians chose to do without it since to some folks; it was a symbol of racism. In other words; this was a state decision and not a federal one. Personally, I could care less either way. However, you have to be fair to others, even when they're on the opposite side of some issues that you might support. Having said all of that; this was a cool video. Thanks for sharing since I just learned a new thing!!

[@srspower]

357 Mag Guy 2015 Yeah i may have been overly simplisitic there, i guess i was referring to the statements made by Obama. And for me yes I don't have an opinion either really. In the UK it just represents the Dukes of Hazard! Glad you liked the video :)

[@nnobakht]

+srspower :-) I used to live in Bexhill-On-Sea (near Brighton) and in Plymouth (Devon County) when I was a kid. When in Plymouth; I went to a school called Battisborough School. I miss it a lot. I'm pretty much like you, in that; I really could care less either way!! I've got more important issues of my own to deal with every day and can't worry about others right now. Overall, I try to stay out of politics since the sad thing here is that we have a two-party system and believe it or not; they're very much alike!! They're both full of BS and couldn't give a flying F... about the average citizen. Both parties here are controlled by special interest. It is very discouraging. I also lived in Geneva, Switzerland for 5 years and in a peculiar way; I wish I was still there. It is too darn expensive to live there though!!! Once again, thanks for your ingenious way of producing these reactive targets. I used to pay $34 for 50 of them on Amazon.com!! Thanks to you, now; I can do it myself and save some money!! I also reload my own ammunition, so I'll be saving a lot this year!!! Be safe & God bless!

[@Inkd_watkins]

Thanks !!

[@scottishbadboy1]

Just had a thought ..you could cut silhouettes of different birds,rabbits,foxes,or even a human torso if you live in the US that is ;-)

[@srspower]

Hence the versatility, you can make any shape or size you like depending on what you want to do. It is perfect for video illustration purposes. Thanks for watching :)

[@jeremiahhenderson6005]

What statement are you trying to make with that t shirt?

[@srspower]

That I am a fan of the Dukes of Hazard ...

[@nesthell2]

Nice shirt haha

[@srspower]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching ;)

[@wdavison10044]

good idea. like watching ur vida mate but ur painting technique need some improvement lol

[@srspower]

Yes it has improved since then! Building the layer up across the card uses a lot less paint too! Thanks for watching :)

[@wdavison10044]

***** no bother mate. ive just got my sgc and the vids with the loads and chokes helped explain a lot. cheers

First spy the black after cut the leftover tape..Smarrrtttttt

Thanks for the tip. The shirt and the accent sure don't go together 😊

[@jbeerailroader6100]

225 count..3 inch spatter targets for 14 bucks delivered from amazon. Its just easier spending... more time shooting and less. time doing arts and crafts ...Just sayin

[@cianteeling38]

It is not go

[@srspower]

I don't understand?

[@clivewilson5258]

Targets are good ,,what ain't so good is you shooting that target down your garden with no back stop and cattle in the field,just saying

[@srspower]

You know that was an argos catalogue being shot with an air rifle right? It will stop a HV .22lr let alone and airgun pellet!

[@clivewilson5258]

@@srspower I was thinking more about ricochet and flying lose pellets and I'm sure you are aware that no pellets must leave your property,I'm was just thinking a bigger back stop wouldn't be a bad idea,that's all

[@srspower]

@@clivewilson5258 Have you ever shot an argos catalogue? There is 100% no chance of a ricochet even if it was a .22lr HV let alone an airgun pellet.
