The "Tiny" Targets Thread

Thanks, @Gunnertrones! Yeah, there´s a spring like the ones you see in mousetraps and clamps, so it pops right up again but a little to quickly. Gives a satisfying sound when hit tho.

You have a great assortment of targets @FastEddie! Very jealous!

Heres some photos of todays shoot. Today I´ve been shooting at a distance of 112 meters with very little wind. Was hard in the beginning but with practice it got much easier. Was really surprised how little wind is needed to push the pellet quite far to the side.

My favorite plinking targets lately are paintballs-$12/500, biodegradeable, challenging, and they make the pop sound all of us shooters who hunt and pest live for! Took a break from mowing brush to shoot some in the shade. 87 degrees today in California! 
Here's the target area from my shooting chair:

Here are the targets set out:

Kind of a contrast to the post above's weather!

PS 45-50 yards is not too hard-once you get to 60 yards things get a little challenging!
 
"Mr.Gadgets"Here's a metal (aluminum) spinner target I hammered into a tree about 18 years ago. If you look close, you can see the growth rings around the nail.
It held up well to BB guns and low powered pistols and rifles, but the Wildcat is knocking the snot out of it. Don't expect it to last much longer !


Well, I couldn't help myself and had to keep smacking it with the Wildcat. Time to replace it.
 


Nail 2.4mm wide and a nail portion from a thumb tack, 1.2mm wide. 28yards. One miss on the 1.2mm nail but hit it perfect next shot.

Aiming at ball bearings now off of aluminum rods balanced in a wood block. Trick is to only hit ball bearing. 26.5 yards off a bag. Sun was on LCD screen, and battery was dead so I just floated past the smaller bearing and missed.
