Cool Things to Shoot

[Double T]

I am camping with some buddies this weekend and was looking for some fun inexpensive things to shoot. We have used things in the past like pumpkins and 2 liters of soda. Any other idea’s out there?

Whatever you shoot, please cleanup your mess.

Playing cards... edgewise.

One part i miss about the desert...we'd shoot propane tanks cars, anything...it was great.

 

[danielson]

Bring paintball guns and shoot each other.....

 

[King Matthew]

Frozen gallon jugs of water

Not sure if they're cheap. but pudding cups give a lot of bang when hit with 22lr. My son enjoys them the most of all the food products we've tried (and we've tried a lot... kids... food & guns... you know) lol

Here's a challenge... Support a 2x4 off the ground 1-3 ft. Drill 3/8" holes every 6-12'' apart across the top of the board. In each hole, place a yellow #2 pencil. Use a .22 rifle or pistol @ 5, 10, 25 & 50 yards. Pick apart each pencil to challenge your accuracy. My great uncle & I did this when I was a teen & it sounded so BORING, but turned out to be alot of fun!

We used to save our red dairy queen spoons and stick the handle in the ground and shoot the round part off. My dad and I had a lot of fun shooting those and entertaining the guys at the range. Loved a challenge! I wish my eyesight was still that good.

YES, don't we all !!!!!

These are kinda fun to shoot. Lots of fire. I like fire.

I took a washing machine out and shot the crap out of it. .22 would punch a hole in the side, but .223 went all the way through. I tried to get some video but I set the camera too far away, and then ran out of battery.

I've shot at golfballs, milk jug caps laid flat, cans, and whatever else was laying around that wasn't glass. I have a lot of milk jugs that I'm not going to store water in, so I might just fill them with water and shoot them. .22 doesn't seem to do much to them, but I have .223, .45, and some other that I can try.

As a teen my brother and I would steal beer out of the refrigerator shake the pi** out of it and shoot them. They pop real nice when they're shook up

This is alcohol abuse.

Cans of spray paint with candles lit beside them

 

[45fan]

If your going that far, why not skip the candle, and go straight to incendiary tracers? OR, if you are fortunate enough to own a 50, the Raufoss round, it does a real # on just about anything flammable, especially if backed up by a hard target.

 

[Classic]

Bowling pins, grapefruit, shotgun shells and sporting clays (come in assorted sizes).

This is alcohol abuse.

What can I say, I was and am more interested in shooting than drinking

 

[JetGirl]

Water.
But add food coloring to it.
And freeze it first...

 

[HardKnox]

Old electronics or old street sings are my usual go to targets

 

[Cool Breeze]

take a 1x2 or 1x3, or even thinner- even some scrap trim, and hotglue Ritz crackers to the edge. Stand it vertical or horizontal- 22lr makes them explode pretty good. Same thing with balloons- buy water ballons, and fill/tie them quick with an air compressor, and staple them to a skinny board. Take me 10 minutes to have 8' filled. Both of those options are biodegradable- no mess.

 

[MeltonLaw]

I prefer to buy a bag 5# or 10# of "b" size potatoes and shoot those. Anything larger than a .22 will make them explode and they are 100% biodegradable. Plus you can usually find them pretty cheap.

Baseballs tennis balls playingcards and pop cans are good targets
