dusk2dawn Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Back in my boyhood with a Webley mk3 I used to shoot old lightbulbs on the waste tip of the local chicken farm,they made quite a bang exploding. Then as dusk fell the rats started coming out, easier to shoot as I had zeroed on the lightbulbs already. Recently with the .223 I have been using the targets that show up yellow at the bullet strikes, just added another dimension and is far easier to spot from a distance. On Saturday I shot at the local military range, a distance of 300m/375yds this was the longest shot I have taken and scored well imo, interesting though I was able to compare the military 5.56mm ball with Federal V shoks and no wonder the army use so much ammo, the factory ammo was bang on but the military stuff was way out, good only for falling plate targets they told me later!!! Sorry to digress but still feeling chuffed with saturdays performance. D2D Edited June 9, 2008 by dusk2dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob300w Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Tractor rear lights or headlights, farmers find this hilarious! Mine has been laughing for days at the last airgunners target session on his new £60,000 tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerico Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Maybe they were shooting partridge in mid flight and didn't notice the tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 We used to shoot into a 90" cast iron elbow from an old gutter, the pellets really Zing !! However I wouldn`t try it if the pellets are likely to end up outwith your boundary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sambu13 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i like shooting at the eggs that are layed hidden in the bales and too old to eat, the older they are the more fun it is!the really manky ones really explode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Mason Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i used to shoot at soluble tablets like alkerseltzer or mints/sweets stuck to wood or cardboard. theyre really cheap and explode on impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattslaptop247 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Fill a 2ltr bottle (plastic) with water and practice on that, better still get some cheap coke from netto, 28p a bottle and shoot at that, its fun watching it explode lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky28 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Lol eggs are fun and i have recently been told that xtra strong mints are good. Not the most interesting thing to shoot, but i have recently been pinning drawing pins into a wooden board and shooting the heads of them, driving them into the wood. I find that aiming for such a small target really improves your technique. And if you use the drawing pins with the coloured plastic heads, its easier to see if you have hit because the plastic coating will be torn off. The only thing is obviously to make sure you collect all the pins after. Just an idea for u Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
