Fun 10m Targets
« on: June 04, 2010, 08:12:39 PM »
The better half and I shot a lot of pellets. We have a small yard and can only get 10m. She got tired of shooting paper.
So she comes out with a small box just taller than the bottom of our trap with Q-tips and some plastic straws sticking up.
She then sticks beans in the end of the straws.
The beans explode when you hit them. Kind of cool.
 But the Q-tips if you hit them just right they explode like popcorn. It’s cheap and quick to set up. (the dollar store is a great target store)
 She said we’re doing corn tomorrow. LOL

Creative.  Anything that explodes is cool in my book.  lol
I bought a bag of  100 "assorted eyes" - white plasic bubbles w/black free-floating pupil inside  - of various sizes, most pretty darn small.
My boys liked them - but I know they will like the exploding beans/etc even more.

Lowes/HomeDepot sells a 1.5" x 1.5" piece of lumber that looks like a skinny 2x4. I cut the 1.5x1.5 into cubes and shoot them. They practically explode because they are pretty soft pine.

Paint balls can be fun, but can be real messy.
I shot some in my yard off of golf tees at 60ft, and the paints flies 25-30 ft in all directions.
So I cut 2 sides out of along skinny box and put it over the paints balls to catch the spray.
It worked pretty good.
