My home made targets
My welded target with 5/8 holes and paintballs. It has 1/2″ thick rubber with holes that helps keep the balls in place and the kill zone is 5/8. You need a kill zone hit to clear the balls out. This one is made for FT practice and 20+fpe guns sometimes will make the balls fall out. I will cut some rubber with smaller holes to give it a tighter fit.
This one is the hooper. Holds 20 or so paintballs and as one clears out the next one drops right in and the 1/4 pipe helps keeps the target ball in place. It can be messy but I now have a clearing tool that can be used after each batch and it works much better. After a good day of shooting, just water hose down and the paint that’s in the base will come right out. I have tested this setup with guns up to 24fpe and it works fine.
1/4″ pipe that the ball rests in.

That statement is not for the paint balls. High fpe guns if not hit in the kill zone/paint ball it will trigger a false hit and the ball will fall out. If you hit the hole, the ball will pop.
When I hit the hole my balls don’t pop! It is more of a slapping sound 😛
Ah, I understand now.

You couldn’t possible need 20 fpe to brake a paintball. My crosman 1077 with 6 fpe does the job. What distance do you shoot them at?
