M&P 15-22 flyswatter

[brz]

Took my m&p to the range today with my dad to sight in the scope and reflex sight. Got the 25 yd bench to shoot from. After I got the scope pretty dialed in I noticed some flies about 1/2" long landing on the targets so I figured I'd try for them. Got 2 of them at 25 yd. when I told my dad I got them I don't think he believed me until we walked down and saw the splatters.

My m&p 15-22

Nice shooting. I am going to smear something on my targets to attract the flys next time I go to the range and try to do what you did.

Don't worry, they're too busy killing every dog, cat, hamster, rabbit, bird, fish, and lizard that gets dropped off at their "shelters" to worry about flies.

...for now.

If they had their way, we would be eating lettuce for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What was this thread about?

Oh yeah, shooting flies with a 15-22. I can't wait to see slow-motion videos of this.

 

[Shooterjgs]

Who said the 15-22 wasn't a tack (fly) driver...

Dragonflies.

This made me smile. When I moved to AR, I couldn't get over the amount of dragonflies certain times of the year. A few years ago, I was at the neighbors range when I got bored with punching paper. Dragonflies were plentiful so I thought: "Hmm. I wonder...?"
It is not easy and you have to be patient, but I can get them pretty regular with my Ruger 22/45 with Millett reddot or Marlin 60 with a 3-9 scope. I haven't got an optic for my new 15-22 yet but I have no doubt it'll be fun!

 

[BIGMAC116]

That's awesome! I had the world's most unfortunate mouse saunter in front of my target when I was sighting in..... He's no longer with us....

 

[roadkill45]

yeah last time out zeroing got a 4" richardson's ground squirrel at 50 yards, but the fly shot beats that! good work. I see a PMC career for you in the future!!!

 

[Smitty357]

I dont know if it'll drive tacks. But it sure as heck swats flys =-)
