aaron airgunner Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 right, who can think of the best plinking target? bottle caps win my vote as they are the perfect size of any quarrys kill zone and when you hit em they fly off about 5m!

rogh shooter Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 mints and bits of chalk work well as they are bright and fly all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 i like used 12 bore cartridges, shooting the primers out (even more fun at 100 yards with the .17hmr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marley29 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I think the best plinking targets are flies when they are brave enough to land on your paper target. I hit one from 30 yrds with that very rifle that your using How are you getting on with it mate? All the best, Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, Mick i'm getting on well with it. bottle caps consistently at 35yrds. havent tried any flies though! i've had 2 rabbits and 1 woody with it so far. i'm going to get a 'super sling' for it for christmas and maybe a new scope. thanks again for it. i tried out that chalks idea and its great fun. i knwo someone who owns a shotgun and a rapid and he said that if you hit the primer of a live cartirdge it fires! is it possible?

huntercarbine Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 buy a pack of little plastic toy soldiers from somewhere like poundland or wilko's then set them up. i stick a drawing pin through the base into wood. and shoot away. headshots are ace great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmep Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 polo's are my favourite. or the kids old mcdonalds toys. gonna go get me some plastic soldiers tomorrow though that sounds like great fun. also the old hilti spit caps get a thumbs up,drill a hole in your backstop to fit them in, make a nice noise when you hit them. love back garden plinking with the airgun.
