Other than the really silly expensive airgun version of the Texas Star, what options exist out there for moving targets?
Moving targets
- Thread starter Miami Airgunner
- Start date
I like to attach bits of steel [steel silhouettes ranging from an inch to 4 inches work great] to strings and hang them in various locations, then; try a string of shots on same target in 30 seconds [or whatever time limit] to ensure that the target is spinning or waving about from previous shot. Plus it's almost always windy here so having them moving on first shot is done by nature 90% of the time for me[if not, sometimes I twirl up the string then head back to my shooting spot and shoot before it stops.] Sort of an animal on the move while I'm walking scenario

We poke holes in the tops or sides of the can. String about a foot of paracord through the hole. Tie or staple the string so that the can hangs down. End game is to try and shoot the can off the string. Fun times.

I have a zip line that I hang a weight off and then hang a plastic jug (or whatever) off said weight. It's really freaking hard to hit as the target swings side to side and back and forth as the whole thing accelerates along the length of the zip line.... there's a lot of unpredictable movement.
You can shoot at it straight on (coming towards you like a charging bear) or from the side. Super fun with the AEA semi auto with a red dot, but I can usually only get 1 or 2 shots off per run, and I miss about 3/4 of the time lol.

That looks pretty cool and the price is great. I wonder how it would hold up though? Nothing seems to last long on my range lol.

The only moving targets I'd like to shoot right now r some genitals belonging to the men riding around naked on bicycles in front of children.Sry Michael but it would be putting pellets to very good use. Other than that it's a can hanging in the branches on a windy day.

I actually gave up on my method after getting tired of getting my fingers shot off teaching my wife how to shoot. She really needs to work on her lead.

Exactly my thoughts .. I have HD30, so it should be okay. Still wondering anyone has used it or aware of it.
