Pool Noodle Plate Rack for Airsoft & Pellet Pistols

Pool Noodle Plate Rack for Airsoft & Pellet Pistols

August 3, 2018 by The Arms Guide Guest Writer Leave a Comment

A couple years ago, I went to Wal-Mart to buy some of my favorite targets (I’ll tell you about them sometime soon) but they were out.

I had my Malinois with me, and we used the garden exit so she wouldn’t have to walk on hot pavement any more than necessary.

Pool noodles were on sale…cheap…and I had an idea.

I got some, sliced them into sections, and I had myself a set of reactive targets for about 10c apiece and we’ve been using them ever since.  Click this video to see me using them as a plate rack:

If there’s no volume, click the speaker icon.

We shoot them with Airsoft, live fire, and my new favorite…the Sig P320 and P226 CO2 powered pellet and BB pistols.  (Let me know if you want to see a review of the Sig CO2 pistols…that’s what my 8 year old is using to shoot IDPA now.  He can’t shoot IDPA with a real gun yet because of the angle of the bullet when he needs to make close head shots.)  We’re even setting them up in the house for the “He Hates Cans” drill from Dry Fire Training Cards!

Have fun with this one.  It’s a great way to add variety to your at-home training.

And, if you’re interested in the at-home firearms training that delivers the most bang for the buck of anything on the market check out our home study course by clicking >HERE<
