I bought one of those magnetic knock down 🦆 🦆 🦆 🦆 targets. Problem was they often just bounced straight back up.
Tried to add magnets but didn’t really work. I had a roll of lead left over from roof works. Cut small strips off and weighed them (20 gram worked best). Bent the strips onto bottom of duck weights. Worked really well, ducks stay down until reset.
Happy days 😊

Is that one of the Amazon ones? How's it holding up?
Yes. Not too bad. Metal is a bit thin and has slightly bent but not enough to worry about or affect its use. Most damage is using my HW99 in .22, at 11.6 fpe it certainly smacks into them. My Cp2 knocks them down but not enough power to damage them 👍
 
Mine allowed pellets to force their way through the join in the back. The top piece needs to be in front, not behind the bottom section.
