stealthy1 3,964 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Now then folks, Plinking, whats your favourite object to plink, or do you have a plinking game that folks can use to practice, apart from targets and knock downs? I used to use sugar lumps back in the 's when my ex Mrs worked as a manager in a hotel, went through thousands at the bottom of the garden, unitl the wasp turned up 1 Quote Link to post
air gunner 0 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 The wasps themselves would be a great target! Not sure they are legal quarry though. However they are a pest. Some of you better shooters could try and shoot their stingers off. Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 extra strong mints (never liked them) bottle caps, they go for ages, small lumps of wood, paper. Quote Link to post

Phantom 631 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Fly shooting in the summer A bit of bright card (perhaps a tiny blob of jam) The Idea of the game is to get a perfect hole with six legs Phantom ps It CAN be done Quote Link to post
migmog 1 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I use widgets out of cans of guiness, potatoes, 22 rimfire shells, polo mints, palmer violet glued to cocktail sticks, twigs, old clay pigions are good. Bottle tops, a full can of guiness shaken up looks a mess after being shot lol. Old shoty cartridges are good aswell, Next doors cat dose a pritty good back flip....... oops did i say that or where you imagening things?? Quote Link to post
sibaldib 6 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I use my old 20 bore cartidges cut in thirds. Not too bad at 30 yds but difficult to see the damn things at 40+ !MAybe that's just my age and failing eyesight though. Cheers Sib Quote Link to post
siskin 4 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 i like to play around with a few ideas i picked up off the net, mainly based around bisley pest control (hollow point) .22 pellets 1st one is INCENDIARY , scrape the heads off a load of normal (red head ) matches, mix with a little spit or water fill the hollow point and let them fully dry 2nd one is EXPLOSIVE get hold of a few the kids cap gun caps ,the plastic ring type the top is paper so take that out with a pin etc empty as many as you can and grind them in to a powder, again empty into the hollow point when full cap with a little water from a pipet or a cotton bud tube etc these are great on hardish targets with different effects warning please only use on cheap air guns or stuff thats had its day ,they cannot do any good to the barrel i bet Quote Link to post
ulverston moocher 60 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 the orange vitimin c tablets from asda are good cat food lids the ring pull ones as they have differetnt rings on the lid to aim at, bottle lids, pennys and just about anything realy. Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Seems like we all like a bit of plinking, also seem that we will plink anything given the chance, cheers for all the replys folks 1 Quote Link to post
Edgar 1 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Tin cans at long range like 70- yards. With open sights its a challenge and bottle tops at realistic hunting ranges. Quote Link to post
aaronpigeonplucker 32 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 bottle tops are perfect size for the killzones of many quarry. Quote Link to post
