Little side note about shooting stuff on ground (gold balls, etc). Know your range and whats beyond it.

'Some folks' @ our club were shooting @ pine cones tossed on the ground, and bullets were skipping off the ground, right over the berm, and occasionaly landing in a neighborhood beyond...

gotta whole desert to play .22 golf in. orange marking spray paint the sand in anywhere from 1 foot round to 5 foot on a 100-150 YMMV course. you start by putting golf ball on tee and standing 10 foot back and shooting it. object is to get the ball in the order of the circles in the least shots, just like golf. talk about all day, definitely a winter activity out here in the desert! doing it in 120 degree heat adds a nice bonus of who gets heat stroke first.....kinda speeds thing up a notch!!!!

How about your kids toys that you keep tripping over. Thin the "toy herd" a bit. Your kid(s) / grandkids won't miss them. Trucks, stuffed animals, action figures, etc. Don't forget to donate a few in your local drop box for some less fortunate kids

I fill up 2-3 liter coke bottles and freeze them and set them up and shoot them. We use the .22's and try to unscrew the caps then hit them with my M&P40 and the back splits open and ice flies everywhere! You can shoot the same target a lot longer compared to just water. Windshield washer fluid jugs hold together the best.

stavman - how'd the dueling tree work? i've got my eye on one of those for $50...thinking i might use it for my 1911 22LR conversion kit at 20-30 yds and the 15-22.

more..MORE! line up 10 eggs in a pattern for each shooter and go shot for shot. whoever has eggs unscrambled() loses

Some of my favorites include eggs, helium balloons tied off at different yardages and heights, water bottles filled with water and food coloring, 2-liter bottles set up the same way but 100+ yards out, aluminum cans, empty prescription pill bottles filled with flour, clay pigeons in bushes.

For some reason I can't load the video from my phone, but a before and "during" shot of shooting Frosty with .44mag...lots of fun, and a shock to those not expecting the "blood" lol

Wow some cool idea guys. We are limited to what we can shoot at the range like no food, no bounce targets, & can only shoot range supplied steel targets.

But the wife, kids & I sometimes will take 2 target frames set on opposite ends of the pistol bays w/9-12 paper plates attached to frames that are numbered...Shooter stands in the middle of the bay at decided distance while one person calls out numbers in different orders. We see who has the best accuracy & fastest time.
