    Try M&M's launched from a slingshot.
    Start off with the peanut kind {they're bigger} then use the regular M&M's as you get better.

    :shock:

    You should try one handed shotgun a time or two at a flying object. It is fun. More fun than golf

    Fun to shoot Taters out of a PVC Tater gun!
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    I'll have to give that a try, I doubt the shot would kill the golf ball but it might deflect it. If fired early enough I see no reason someone couldn't hit a golf ball?

    Be careful who you bet against in trick shooting.

    I made a lot of money at our gun club range betting that I could cut an ordinary business
    card in half width wise at 50 feet with my Gold Cup .45. Guys said you can not even see the card width wise from 50 feet.
    It's not as hard as many think....
    Will tell how if nobody guesses how.....{pistol target shooters will know}

    When the Nylon 66's came out, many years ago, Remington had full page adds in magazines
    about this shooter that shot 100,000 2 1/2inch square blocks of wood throw into the air.

    """In 1959, Tom Frye, a field representative for Remington, set out to surpass Ad Topperwein?s world record (set in 1907) of shooting 72,500 2?" wooden blocks as they were tossed into the air while missing only nine. Frye used three Nylon 66 rifles and maintained an average pace of 1,000 shots per hour (one shot every four seconds) for 13 consecutive eight-hour days. When the smoke cleared, he had shot at 100,010 blocks and hit 100,004, missing only six! The rifles were cleaned only five times during the Marathon """

    Holy hell! :o
    Trick or exhibition shooters are fun to watch. I saw the late great Tom Knapp live doing his Benelli hand-thrown clay routine. Then there's the guy that can shoot two balloons with a revolver and the audio sounds like a single shot fired. I think it might have been Bob Mundon (sp). Or, Jerry Muciluk (sp) that can shoot 6 shots, reload, and 6 more in a couple of seconds (these are all from memory so look them up if anyone want to see the specifics)
    Fanatic collector of the 10mm auto.

    Yeap!! With .45 wadcutters you have almost 1 inch side to side leeway. And the card is almost 3 inch long.

    Any decent pistol shooter can hit a rectangle that is 1" by 3" at 50 feet. :D
