    Talking Fun targets.

    Whats the most fun target to shoot at, i find glass good chipping off bits, slate is good as well, and those extra strong mints, what else is there?

    Shoot at POLO mints
    WITHOUT BREAKING THEM

    IE. shoot through the hole

    (piece of black paper behind confirms hit or mint disintergrating confirms miss)

    Clothes pegs shatter well. Small plaster discs on string literally explode but you have to be a bit careful as bits fly everywhere - only ever shot one in the garden cos there were bits landing all over the place for a couple of seconds after Matches are a challenge. My summer favourite though is wasps. Bit of jam and away you go! Flowers and weeds are good fun but you have to be sure of a safe area behind.

    Happy plinking!

    Have you SEEN the price of dripping? Ecky Thump - you could buy a pound of black puddings or a quarter of tripe for that!

    I shoot my out of date eggs with my air rifle. Simple but great fun.. Then the hens eat the shells and get in the way of the targets

    I've heard that shotgun cartridges are awesome but don't fancy it myself much. Like to know if anyone has tried it!!

    Unused cherry tomatoes make good size target for longer-range shots and go with a loud POP! When hit

    How would you use 'used' ones then?

    To actually put something constructive into the thread, try ice cubes.
