how to spice up target shooting

[slyfox-mal 1]

hi guys recently i got my new air rifle and i have been doing alot of ratting but most the rats are now dead or moved on .

So im doing loads of target shooting to try to improve my aim at different distances but its so boring shooting at the same target time after time.

so i now take two dice with me and set up 6 targets at different ranges from ten yards to 35 yards all over my allotment each target has six circles on it all different sizes from 1/4 inch to 2 inches.

so heres how i work it dice one picks the target and dice two picks the size on the target .

it makes life more intresting for me and i find it better than shooting at a fixed spot all the time as you have to allow for hold over or hold under and after all youre quarry aint always going to be at a set distance.

any how what do you lads do to make it more interesting

cheers mal

I feel for you on this one mate although the dice idea has not sprung to my mind, maybe I'll give it a try too

Some time ago I belonged to a target air gun club. The rifle shooters had a "Polo" shoot once a year. This, as the name suggests involved gluing polo mints onto the target diagrams. A well aimed .177 will pass through the mint with the hole, but if you hit it,there is a satisfying cloud of bits and a minty smell!
