I took some pictures the last time I was out plinking and thought I'd share them with THR. You might have to scroll to the right to read & see everything.
First I put up some target stands to zero anything in and check how everything is shooting, then I bring a bunch of old coolers I have filled with water, and old soda cans, cups, and other containers. I also set up a few metal gong targets, and various junk:
Side view of the 25 yard line.
Then I shoot away, and pack the trash in the coolers after I've emptied them of water.
Next I set up this bad boy, which shows anatomy that can only be seen up close. (My only complaint is they don't show arm & shoulder bones)
And I also set up some smaller targets I use for up close range with the pistol.
There are a number of targets set 25 yards behind the boulder, so first I use the boulder as "cover" and shoot the farther targets, then reload, run back, shoot the closer targets, and then finish with the pistol on the small targets.
Using a sticker gun saves a lot of time after each round, especially when using buckshot from the shotgun.
Setup and cleanup take a while, so I normally like to do this at a "hidden" plinking spot, and go shooting over 2 days so I can leave everything up overnight. This particular spot is at a dead end, derelict logging road in a National Forest in the Sierra-Nevada mountains.
I mostly used a Marlin 39A on the cans/cups/bottles, and shot at the anatomy target with either a Mini-14, SOCOM II, or a Benelli 1014. My pistol is a Glock 21.
