Guest Scuba1 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 We used empty Magners cans on the meet and I must say that the target production was a lot more fun then raking up broken clays out of a field :rolleyes: ATB Michael Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) Trebor extra strong mints make good reactive targets, they vanish in a puff of white dust, and they are less than 50p a pack where as the chalk 1inch targets cost a lot more!

Guest buster321c Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I cut a potatoe into small squares , of about 10-15 mm and chuck em on the lawn . Then take me time and pop em one by one , cause they`ve been thrown , there all over the place and no two shots are the same Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thats a great idea Buster, Problem round here is the gulls and blackbirds would have em before I got a shot off Phantom Quote Link to post
SEAN3513 7 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 damsons/plums/small apples etc on the top of hazel sticks !!!!! the target is about the same size as our quarry kill zone.....and they are biodegradeable and therefore environmentaly friendly !!!!!!!! keep em coming lads atb sean Quote Link to post
Guest Scuba1 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Rabbits and magpies are not bad either and magpies are also biodegradable :good: Quote Link to post
gazguildford 0 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 extra strong mints really cheap and create a small dust cloud when hit scatter them about plus they are a really good size i think Quote Link to post

Guest Scuba1 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) And for the ones using either a .177 springer or a HW 100 we have the ultimate plinking target if set up at about 25 yards. As seen on a target range in Wiltshire. ATB Yes I can find my way out and I left the coat on anyway. Michael Edited September 6, 2009 by Scuba1 Quote Link to post

I suppose with a springer you would have to aim well ahead of them and let them run into the sot. Not an easy thing to judge, but does make it more interesting I think. Quote Link to post
