How does the Matchstick Holder Duelling Target work?
The target features slots designed to hold standard wooden matches upright or at an angle. The goal is to shoot the small match head directly with an airgun pellet, igniting the match upon impact for an immediate, visual trick shot reaction.
What caliber or power airgun is best suited for this target?
Standard legal limit UK air rifles and air pistols (under 12 ft-lbs and 6 ft-lbs respectively), in both .177 and .22 caliber, are suitable. Smaller calibers like .177 are popular for this target due to their flatter trajectory and precision when aiming at very small match heads.
Is this target safe for home back garden shooting in the UK?
Yes, provided standard UK airgun safety rules are followed. Ensure you have a suitable backstop to safely capture stray pellets and embers, and remember that by UK law, no pellet must ever cross your property boundary.
Can I use standard UK safety matches with this target?
Yes, standard household safety matches or strike anywhere matches fit the holder slots. Strike anywhere matches tend to ignite more easily upon pellet impact, but standard safety matches will also light if hit with sufficient friction and velocity.
How far away should I place the target?
Because striking a match head requires extreme precision, most shooters place the target between 10 to 25 yards away, depending on optics, rifle accuracy, and shooting ability.
Can two shooters use it at the same time for a duelling challenge?
Yes. The dual/multi slot design allows two shooters to line up side by side to race to light their designated matches first, making it popular for friendly club or garden shooting competitions.
