Looking for ways to have more fun when shooting

[MostCrucialMarsupial]

Going shooting this weekend. Ill have my AK, 9mm pistol and a shotgun. There will be a few more but Im not sure what everyone is going to bring. I have a couple TVs and some pumpkins that I have saved to shoot. Of course there should be some tannerite. Im looking for other cool things to shoot or maybe shooting games to play.

Hit the folks you're shooting at?

Full cans of soda, fruit, shaving cream bottles, clay pigeons, golf balls, ballons full of flour, that is just a few.

Shooting steel is a lot of fun. If I had my own range I'd have multiple targets.

I get great enjoyment from shooting small groups with the rifle or pistol. On demand. From position. At any distance.

For the 22 rifle, crackers at 50 yards.

For the shotgun, hitting those clay pigeons in the air. Especially the crossing ones.

I am probably pretty boring.....

I've got several styles of these but this is my favorite. Throw it at the base of the backstop and go at it. It's a great time. They soak up hundreds of rounds from all kinds of guns.

I think I found mine at Wal-Mart.

Start using suppressors

Sounds like you're going to be making a lot of trash. Is there time in your schedule to clean up this range when you're done with the fun?

shooting was boring until I got into competition...

My thought exactly. I don't shoot anything like that on my range. I have to desire to clean up the mess.

Steel is my favorite. Mostly for handguns, as I generally shoot at 50yds or less.

Make it a competition amongst yourselves. Do something difficult rather than easy. Shooting a pumpkin at 20 yards is cool, but loses excitement quickly IMHO because it is easy to do. Put the pumpkin at 400 yards and it's more fun.

Since long ranges are hard to come by, you can create the same effect by using more challenging guns/calibers. One of my favorite games is to set up plastic army men, and use .22 rifles to shoot them out to 100 yards. Give each shooter a team of army men, and try to eliminate the other teams using less rounds than it takes them to eliminate you.

Plastic army men: $1.79
.22 Ammo: $5.00
Proving that you are the ultimate plastic army man sniper: priceless.

Shooting smaller and smaller pieces of clays on the back stop until there are not orange targets left!

 

[adcecil]

Shooting old jugs filled with water & food die, get fago pop it is like .20 a can it is fun to shoot and of course tannerite

 

[deo62]

Nothing says fun like freshly painted steel Just begging to be marked up!

Wearing a breech cloth while shooting is very refreshing....Airy....Just feels like freedom....
