fun things to shoot

[raydog]

I like shooting balloons with my bow. I also like shooting cans of soda that were shook up. And clay pigeons. You guys have anything that's fun to shoot. I need more ideas for practice

Growing up un the country with lots if land I used to get an old soccer ball and kick to shoot it with a recurve.

Watching a 2-liter pop bottle explode in your scope when you're 800 yards away is pretty fun.

People say tannerite is fun, but I've only tried it once and I must not have mixed it up enough cause it didn't go boom.

I like shooting milk jugs and pop bottles full of water. Very cheap and fun to see go boom.great offhand practice out to 200 yards.

Exactly what I did yesterday! Took the 7 mag out to make sure it was dialed, 3 shots and 100 inside 3/4", 3 shots at 200 inside 1.25". 2 Jugs off sticks at 225, and 2 jugs freehand at 150-175. Shes dialed. 

It is gratifying to see those things explode after a well placed freehand shot!

watermelon are pretty fun, plus they make the whole area smell nice for a while after.

Add red dye to give it even more dramatic affect...

Old rotten stumps with rubber blunts.

Any container under pressure.

A friend that distributes for drug stores brought some boxes of  shaving cream to our shooting session. That was a fun day.

Maybe saying "my arrows were to expensive" was a cover for "Im not a that good of a shot"

it is a good way to practice shooting uphill and downhill at different distances and angles

I was wondering when someone would say something.

We hung a field tip target from a cable on pulleys, there was 2 areas with hay bales behind the "shot zone" to help with the first shot We hung one side of the cable higher than the other side so all you had to do was bring it up the hill and let it go!! It was some good practice.

that's a good idea

Will drive you nuts, but trying to shoot a Ping-Pong ball hanging from a string is dang near impossible.  But one of my favorite things to shoot at.  Almost like trying to shoot a robin hood without wasting an arrow.

[h20hunter]

You know.....the ping pong ball would be a good practice idea at the range. Easy to set up with the carpet style targets....may have to try that.

[6haase6]

Flying swallows. Lately my girlfriend and I have been going to a big sand put to practice. She got good enough she wanted to try and hit one in the holes they made in the sand walls needless to say it evolved into trying to get one when they fly along the sand wall. The sand is nice cause its just hard enough to stop the arrow but not so hard the arrow with break or ricochet.

ping pong balls FEAR me 

[passing-thru]

Every year in Elk camp we hang an egg from a string and compete for dinner a Skamania Lodge...We also look for some "tight" area to shot through (low tree limbs, trees close together, etc.)  to get to target. The guys next to us are traditional archers and have schooled me a few times....lol  fun for all

We used to do the same thing, only with plastic golf balls. Tons of fun

[SHOOTER56]

We have drilled holes in dice and hung them up in a range with a big fan blowing them around. that's fun!!! or no fan depending on who shows up.

[Smokey Bear]

Tape a bunch of playing cards to one side of your block target.  See who can get the best poker hand, blackjack, whatever!

Really?
Can't we just have one shooting for kicks thread without the "Heck I'ma shootin protecteded specsiesz"
You cannot shoot at the nests (like this needs to be said) or at directly a Protected Species. For kicks. Then advertise that on this site.

Full millers and shotguns were a kick in my day. Yes. I wasted beer.

Drill a hole in the middle of a penny and attatch it to your arow with a field tip and shoot hornet nests
