fun targets

I would like to find a substance that I could mix with water in a 5 gallon water jug that would gel in some fashion so that at 100 yards it would stop a .308 round. I have an old 5 gallon plastic jug that could be sacrificed, but what could be mixed with the water... Please no jello...
KKKKFL

Well you could mix some cement. It gells real well and i believe it would stop a .308.

By the way, what does KKKFL stand for? Thats one i haven't figured out.
 
Shooting dum-dum suckers with a .22 is alot of fun. Drill several hols into a 2X4 or just shove them in the ground. Add some food coloring to the water in milk jugs or pop bottles!!! Ketchup packets. I like to fold them over and place them behind a paper target.
 
A friend and i used to shoot 2x6x6 boards that i got from work with our muzzleloaders.

His dad went with us once and we explained that we liked to pretend that the boards were indians. His dad was pretty religious and said we had a nimrod attitude and shooting indians was wrong.

He then told us it was O.K. to pretend the boards were tax collectors.

Revenuers? ;):rolleyes::D
 
I'll give you a hint. They squeal and they're brownish.

there si so many "wrong" things tied up in that:neener::D:neener:

Power plinking with with .22 rf - piece of 2X4, two or more shooters each with a piece of wood to shoot, first one to cut theirs in half wins.
 
A good target for plinking is a bowling pin. Most bowling alleys will sell an old bowling pin for around $1. They take quite a few rounds before breaking so they can be used over and over
 
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Tannerite yet. Even my wife giggles uncontrollably after shooting a pumpkin loaded with Daniel Tanner's magic powder.
 
Plastic dinosours and golf balls. We would take a golf ball and throw it out in the field. Then we would each take turns playing a "round of golf". It ended when the ball went beyond our range or when we were able to put it into the hole. The best part was putting it in a position that the other was blocked from making a shot. This gave you an extra stroke. In this game the one with the most hits wins! We also glued 1/2" to 1" wooden balls (found int he craft section) on strings. We would then staples these to the bottom of our targets. The first hit would either get them swinging or they exploded. The swinging ones would get others shooting at them to see who could hit a moving target.
 
I actually use old phone books for backboards when i shoot my .22 indoors. I just set the book up in my basement and use primer rounds. Its great fun, free, (-$2.25/box) quiet and for the most part totally non-toxic.

And oh, yeah... dead light bulbs and empty chapstik tubes. (always good, if your indoors, to make the mini-range inside a cardboard box on its side to contain shrapnel.)
 
Not to be a bummer here, but just remember to clean up your mess after you are through with it! We need not be labeled as litter bugs.

That being said, anyone got any pics of shooting some tannerite? :evil:

Oh and I just read the cow pie one that made me laugh my butt off from some "fond" memories while out shooting in the cow pastures when I was younger.

I forgot one... 12 ga 00buck and a shipping damaged toilet, plus somebody fast on the trigger on the camera!

Edit: 12 ga.. 12 ga, not 10 ga

And we did clean it up :)

Onions are cheap(er) and most importantly dont cause a huge mess that you have to clean up.... or I've notice that some leave behind.

They only explode on a center hit so its really good target feedback for pistols and rifles.

:)
 
run a clothesline on 2 trees and put clothes pins on em. i've done that with a bb gun. as for real guns, my friend has an orange tree on his land that yields way too many oranges:)
 
if you want to see what happens when you shoot a scuba tank with a 30-06 click here. This comes from another forum i belong to... this was done before the mythbusters special. Still a great vid and fun to show people who act stupidly around scuba tanks.

Also found some interesting info only for people who want to make a gelatin with out jello. cut open un used maxi pads and diapers, then collect the dust that's in them ... add a lil water and makes an interesting gel. (this is an online hack on how to piss people off... under how to stop up a toilet).
 
If you happen to be able to dig up clay on your property, wet clay is pretty fun to shoot, you can also make homemade clays if you like.
 
Ratshooter, I was just "goin' on" with you about tax collectors vs. revenuers... used to be, they were both IRS. Then the revenuers became BATF. It's a tax matter either way. Actually though, if the guy was religious, he might have sided with the revenuers.
 
Go on-line and search deck of cards. Copy and paste the deck on a sheet of paper and get some friends together. Each player gets a target pick a card game and place your bets.

We play 5 card stud a lot with 22's at 75-100 yards. and 17's at 150 yards.

Each player shoots their best 5 card group winner takes the pot.
 
Necco wafers. Colorful, explosive and biodegradeable. I don't have anywhere I can shoot and not worry about garbage from debris or rotten food.

On the other hand for rimfire shooting I can always hang paper targets, strike anywhere kitchen matches and a little syrup or jelly to attract flies. And yes it certainly is possible to light those matches! :D
