The official bell targets also have scoring rings machined into the face.

I am in the process of reading up on the rules, and will post some links soon, as these do vary slightly around the country.

For a practice target it would be more cheaper to make your own, using a piece of scrap steel and a bike bell.

If using a bike bell, though, I think it wise for the pellet to hit a striking lever, rather than the bell directly.

I do find it rewarding to use things I have built myself.

Kind regards,

There is an e-mail address at the bottom of >this< site, and they may point you in the right direction.

Thanks Phil

The intro to the site refers to it as a .177 rifle discipline

Is it ever shot in .22?

As you know, I much prefer the larger caliber!

Not that I am aware of.

Energy is also around the 6 ftlbs mark, as that's all that's needed.
