What type of targets do you shoot at? Jugs, paper, cans. ect.

I use water jugs and paper, but I am thinking about placing a bid on a Ballistic Polymer Rifle Cube here on GB but ever time it closes its up around $50. Dose any one have one? Is it worth the money?

Any one remember the old Boris Karloff film "Targets". His "last" film 1967, Funny how the Horror master made his last film about a crazy urban sniper and not some supernatural crap. He knew what was really scary. In the end of the Film he beats the sniper down with his cane. [}:)]



Here's a pic from the Movie of the Sniper laying out his "Arsenal". Not bad for 40 years ago. Too bad the Guy didn't Enlist in the Marines and do a tour in 'Nam instead of shooting at innocents, then it would have been a better movie.

I know a lot of us do some major plinkin around here. I am gettin kind of tired of the same old stuff too shoot at .. I need some fresh ideas. I normaly use paper plates, plastic bottles. or cardboard with drawings on them for targets. I have even used d cell batteries to hone my pistol skills. help might be nice

I am looking for a semi cheep way to use some medium range targets. I got one of the spinning .22 cal metal targets about a month ago and they are pretty cool for $20. They are only rated for the .22. I know they make all kinds of centerfire rated targets but they go way up in cost. I have 2 spots from my yard where I can get 300 or 400 yard shots. I was thinking about setting one of these targets out there to shoot at with my target AR. Any thoughts on how well this would or wouldnt work? I figure worse case I am out $20.......

You can use my favorite, jugs full of water, or you can shoot trees.

Jastr, I like to use the color printers at my clients' sites to print up FREE targets that I download from the Internet.

Try varmintmasters.com for some downloadable targets.

Wood blocks, hang them with some string so that they move when hit. Think your a good shot ? Try hitting them again, before they quit swinging.

Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

For the unltimate challenge use a clay pigion thrower that will throw the "running rabbit". If you think you are good try it. I thought I was good till I did it and was dissapointed big time!

Colored map tacks. Arrange them along the top of a box like tiny posts or stick em in the front. Range, 50 yards with 4X, off-hand only. Range 25, open sights and pistols.

Thoroughly shaken cans of beer or soda. It's a mess to clean up but spectacular when hit with a .223 Contender at 75 yards.

Or, if you can get into a little valley somewhere:

Tie penny balloons up on whatever; posts, branches, sticks in the ground at distance ranging from 70 yards out to 350 up one side of the hill. Then shoot at them with .22RF from the opposing side. Fun.

Fat Chance Clouder, old guys like us can't even see map tacks at 25 yards! Those glasses go with my white cane!

Oh, you'd be surprised what us old farts can still do. Several youngen's have been.

But you're part right, can't see to checker anymore.

I heard tomatoe soup cans(full) make good targets... I might grab a few on my way out today

Just remember to pick all that crap up. Not saying you all don't but, man does that get me. It's all we need is the anti's screaming about the debris let behind. It gets me mad also to go out in the desert and see all the stuff people shoot and leave, I like to shoot fruit if I am going to the wild, it atleast gives the critters some veggies when you are done.

Remember,"your woman may not find you handsome, But atleast she'll find ya handy". I love that show..............

I use the AOL cdroms that I seem to get 12 a month of. Great targets. I use a big tarp to catch the trash and just wrap it up.and throw it all away. The tarp is like $4 at big lots and if you hang the back up about 2 1/2 feet is seemed to catch all the cd crap.though I always had to pick some of it up. worth the time.
Can't wait to get back out and shoot again. getting the jones for it.
Been too long

I think Richie Rich is on to something. The range where I do most of my shooting is always a mess. People shoot cheap cans of soda, fruit, etc and then just leave it. Cans, bottles, old TV's, you name it...I don't have a problem with it unless it is left figuring the next guy will pick it up....OK, I'm done whinning now.....

I like 2 liters filled with water, add a little food coloring and look at the pretty explosions. Cheap soda/beer cans are cool too. If ya think your a great shot try charcoal briquettes

Small styrofoam coffee cups filled with lime seem to offer a pleasant visual affect ehen pierced with a .224 or .243 or .257 projectile at 3-400 yds. GHD

When I was a little shaver, I watched my father, and uncle lite kitchen matches stuck in old fence posts.I would set by the hour and watch them. If you lite the match with-out shooting the head off it counted, but if you shoot the head off you lost.
This was at a distance of about 50 feet. The gun was a Model 12 Remington.That was 60 years ago, and I still have the rifle.
It's a good idea to have a bucket of water handy, just in case!
Try this sometime with open sights,hell I don't think I could hardly see the post, let alone the match, any more!

LOOK TWICE,SHOOT ONCE.

I'm always picking those AOL cd's up from our club range. I sometimes go shoot the .22's before work and prefer biodegradable targets. charcoal briquets, eggs, necco wafers. I like the Necco wafers, they are about the size of a squirrels head,and they dissolve in the next rain.
