I would set up little plastic army men in my sister's sandbox to practice my sniper skills.
My buddy would shoot at my army men and I'd shoot his, knock all your buddies men down and you won.

Have you tested it by shooting it with bb's?
Another good idea for bb targets is ice cubes.
They break like glass and get smaller by melting with each miss.
Great idea, your grandson will love it!

I know the metal spoons will give the desired sound when hit, but bb's are occasionally going to be directed back at speed. I think the concern is legit.

I've tried to make this as safe as possible, all firearms are inherently dangerous. If he gets hurt I have my daughter to deal with......yikes. Maybe I won't give it to him.

I think he'll survive. I also think once he runs out of BBs let him ride a bike without a helmet. If he gets thirsty let him drink water right from the water hose
The target is pretty dang cool and I want one!
