Favourite plinking targets

[SRV1]

My shooting accuracy has definitely improved since using Polo Mints as a target and are my first and only choice these days, I use no other.....Never busted one yet, they go straight through I kid you not......

Used shotgun shell cases.
12, 16, 20, 28, 4.10 all good. Shoot 'em end on or standing up.

Some good ideas there. Looking forward to trying them!

Firebird exploding targets taped to empty miniature plastic bottles full of unleaded

Paintballs are good fun.

Ice cubes. No clean up and very reactive.
Chalk sticks broken up into short lengths.

I shoot on a rifle range so there are certain target restrictions.
However as the range i use is next to a clay shooting stand there are always bits of shot clays mainly down at and beyond the 35yd area.

I enjoy shooting weed stems, dandelion flowers and seed heads etc.

Try those 22 blanks made for putting in metal targets only push one into a spud or apple, impressive.

If you are skilled try shooting through a polo mint with a backstop to show where you are hitting. Even with a pcp in .177cal its bloody hard. When i was younger and before my eyesight went crap i did do this after hrs of practice. Sounds easier than it is. But you have to weigh your pellets to get this accuracy also.

I believe you, but then again I've won the Mr. Gullible world championship 5 years running.

Heck at what distance ? what air rifle do you shoot and in what cal ? also do you shoot with open sights or are you using a scope if you are using a scope what scope do you use ? If you are using one of your BSA superstar's on open sights with the bisley wasp pellets you like to use then i can understand how you are achieving this, Well must go i think i have just spotted Elvis Presley flying a UFO with michael Jackson sat on his knee,

I am using a Baikal IJ-38 open sights, care of a great deal with thisdonald, a regular contributor on this great website, at 30 yards. Marksman pellets, scrubbed and washed thoroughly, dried and sprayed with Pledge, then carefully selected by the Biro pen gauge method. A well respected observer reckoned they were all fliers, but, I don't believe him......
