What are your favourite things to shoot

#1 Post by Thorney »

Continuing my market research on the needs and desires of shooters here, what fun stuff would people like to shoot?

At the moment the target list is:

Paper (static)
Paper (turning)
Exploding/frangible
china (bowls, plates etc)
Fruit (water melon is hilarious with full bore)
Ballistic gel

Anything else?

Also, target types, stick with NRA stuff only? We have the fig 11's etc and FBI silhouette etc but open to suggestions as to what we should offer.

Gongs, like the ones hinging from chains.
Poppers, mostly used for pistol shooting but can be fun for semi auto 22 rifles too.

I also enjoy 1000-1200 target shooting and we get out occasionally on improvised steels (A3 sized bits of tractor/combine harvester) to 1000 yards.

does it worry the guy driving the tractor / combine when you do that?

1) Reactive targets (unfortunately I can't shoot the sort of things here in the UK that I was shooting in SA)
2) Printed targets. One of the popular ones is an A4 target I printed with various sticks of dynamite with lit fuses on it. You have to cut the fuse with your bullet. It's a great target, which I composed from various images I bought from Shutterstock.
