Target ideas

I build little animals from never hardering plasticine often. If you form them hollow, you can fill them with red colored liquid or put a little bag with liquid inside them. Try to build a rat sized model for example, you can resuse the plasticine every time after destroying it. Put the liquid in a fingerpiece of a rubber glove, tight it and put this inside the plasticine rat and then close it.

Its been the biggest fun then this got hit and all the parts and the red liquid shatters around inside your scopeview, especially with pellets like hades or barracuda hunter which tends to expand relatively good.

I'm actually planing about building an robot/animatronic target which moves freely, which i can let run in my yard and give it a critical hit when ever i want.

Thinking about doing this on a house cleaning robot base.

I also shoot little things like firematches which i mount on moving hex bots on my 12 yards indoor range.

I seen this last week and already fought about how to armor it in a way that i can shot it without destroying it.

Maybe i should only armor the body and 3d print the legs so that i can shoot this robots legs off so that it drops and then i replace the legs with cheap pla 3d printable legs.
Man, you have too much fun- in a kinda twisted, kinky way......... ;-]
 
A simple little challenge. 25 yards, pistol or open sights rifle. ✌️

Or, kick it up a notch. 🤞

This one requires some precision shooting. So a scoped gun is in order. I call it (shoot/don't shoot)
The idea is to take out the rear targets without affecting the don't shoots. That sounds easier than it is.
If you were to hit the shot shell to high it will rotate and boot the CO2 cart off the shelf. To prevent that you want to hit the shotshell just above the CO2 cart.
The CO2 carts will also rotate, and require a center hit to go straight back.

If any of y'all try shoot/don't shoot send some feed back. 👍

I like this idea. I will have to set one up next time I'm together with my buddies for a fun shoot.

This is my North Range out the shooting window of my shop. The tall narrow ones are 1' x 3' steel blanks painted with 1/2" yardsale stickers on them and the red one is 45yds. out. There are alot more targets of all types, shapes and sizes than the picture shows.

Just realized that I lied.. that picture was taken from the covered shooting deck I added on the North side of the shop. The shooting window is directly behind where I was sitting when I took the picture.
Here is a picture from inside the shop lookin at the shooting window and indoor shooting bench.

I enjoy shooting soup cans. Soup cans or certain drink cans are the best for plinking. My favorite cans are ones were a small can (Campbell's condensed) will fit into a bigger one (Campbell's Chunky). These are tough and will last a few shooting sessions. Gina mango juice and UCC coffee cans are made out of steel and have an awesome sound when hit. PaThunk! These can be purchased at Asian markets. Cans are strung up on para cord. I hang them vertically and horizontally for variety. They always reset, very handy for lazy shooters.

I also like spinners painted with a flat white and then a florescent orange to make them stand out. Reactive targets are fun also. Paint the main target white and then the paddles white and florescent. The white paint will show you were you hit when you miss. Really handy when trying to gauge the wind and keep missing the spinners.

I really like the quad target. Very handy wind gauge or site in target.

Range at 20 yards. Good for pistols and hold over on rifles too.

Range at 55 yards. Good for pistols and rifles.

You've got a quad!
Is that an Air Ventury Quad?
I seem to be the only one shooting Crazy Eights.
