Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a novel range for receiving lead pellets from 0.177 up to 0.22-calibre and weighing from 7 to 16 grains fired from spring, gas (CO2) and pump style air powered guns at velocities of up to 800 feet per second. A preferred embodiment of the range comprises an 18Ga base and a somewhat resilient 16ga backstop attached to the base with only two bolts. The two-bolt, two-piece construction allows the backstop, when struck by a pellet, to act as a vibrating tuning fork, thus dissipating the energy of the pellet. The backstop absorbs pellet energy without destroying the metal, a problem with fixed non-movable backstops. The backstop therefore comprises thinner material which may be fixed at a greater angle of incidence to pellet paths than backstops in prior art pellet ranges.
