    For me, nothing beats empty drinks cans.

    Parma violets or refreshers at 20 yards in my back garden. Hit them right and they go in a puff of smoke. After an extended session you can then try and hit the wasps they attract.

    My empty eye drop bottles.
    They jump yards and it is a form of revenge!

    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.

    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......
