LETMGROW Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I think we all like to play around once in a while while shooting or sighting in our guns. One of my favorite targets is a gallon milk jug filled with water and tightly capped. At 100 yds. it is really impressive what the bullet does to the jug! I have also shot golf balls, cans etc. Anybody ever try an egg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? Best thing I ever shot was an ice cube made in a 40 quart cooler. It was so big I could barely hang on to it to carry it into the back yard. I shot it with a 175 gr. Silvertip out of my 10mm Glock from 10 yards. 80 instant pounds of crushed ice!!!!

bearcat Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? I like to take an empty gallon paint can and fill it full of water, then drive the lid back on with a hammer. When the bullet from a high power rifle hits it, the lid goes about 20-30 feet in the air. I also like to shoot a 5 gallon bucket full of sand. Sand really does a number on a bullet. This little test lets you know real quick what a bullet is made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? I do enjoy shooting golf balls off a tee with the .22 lr guns. We used to shoot spray cans at long range in the snow. Instant feedback of a hit. Spinners and gongs are always fun to shoot and provide a new shooter with instant feedback, and can keep them interested in shooting longer than punching holes in paper.

WaCoyote Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? Shoot a can of dogfood sometime. THUD! I like to shoot to many things to list. Especially COYOTES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? Milk jugs can be fun, have lined up 5 to 6 to see how a bullet performs a few times with the .270 and .243. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? I have welded up a few different spinning targets out of 1/2'plate steel. I like reactive targets. Paper punching does get old. I found out soon enought that .223 goes RIGHT thru that plate like a hot knife thru butter. Water jugs are always fun too!

Shaun_300 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? Pumpkins are fun, fill them up with a 2L bottle of water, or a garbage bag of water. Shoot that with any rifle or shotgun and you know when it's hit. Nothing but a big orange explosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? Quart plastic pop bottles half full of water with a chunk of dry ice added about two minutes before shooting. Just make sure you don't put the dry ice in unitl you are ready to get far away from them. They blow up. Exploding targets. BeanMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: What do you like to shoot at? I realize its kind of traditional, but I like using balloons for my son to shoot (he's 11) with his .22. I'll put the target at 50 or 75 yards and then blow the balloons up to different sizes. Let him start with the bigger ones and then move to the more challenging small ones. More interesting for him than punching paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
