Wasn't sure where to post this question; this seemed the most appropriate.

 

I'm going away to PA this weekend to some private property with some friends to do some shooting. Is there anything "fun" to shoot? I plan to bring a couple hard drives and see how they hold up to the 9mm and .223. There's always fruit, I suppose, but I'm looking for something more interesting than that. And before you ask, yes I plan to wear eye/ear protection.

Ohhh to shoot AT. At first I was thinking "Well ANY gun is fun to shoot!!"

 

Try bottles of water, they're always fun. If you can do it safely, and do it one person at a time, moving and shooting is DEFINITELY fun.

Fruit. Buy super ripe tomatoes and melons. Usually you get a good price because they are nearly bad. Shoot with varmint tipped and/or fast ammo. That blows stuff up really well.

ex bosses....or even current ones.

Golf balls

 

Had a blast with some other forum members doing this at a PA range a couple of weeks ago.

yup and they are still there so I keep using them

Get self sealing rubber toys.

 

Look for any old junk laying around the house too. Old CRT TVs make a nice implosion with the first shot.

When we go out to the farm we shoot some coins long distance and try to either wing them or hole them out. They make for great conversation pieces in your pocket and serve as a reminder of that "impossible" shot.

have you tried tannerite

If you can do it, golf balls, tennis balls, fruit as mentioned above.

 

I like to freeze water bottles and shoot them, cool to see them explode! Do the same with some fruit, I haven't tried that, but imagine it would be cool. (Pun intended)

 

I also put food coloring in water bottles, funny to see them leaking out of two holes.......

 

Buy a box of target clays. Dicks sells 90 for around $8.00, they are a blast to blow-apart. I go to our local club when no one is on the shotgun field and pickup old clays that are still mostly there. Free targets for 10 minutes of searching.

 

If you guys think you are good shots then stick a marshmellow on a stick and try to hit it from 25 yards. With handguns that will be a challenging shot.

bowling pins

 

mannequins

 

cosmetology teaching heads (the hairdo dolls that "stylists" use to train on)

 

raid the recycling bucket...

 

old circular saw blades

Ive always been a fan of fruit, clay pigeons, and unopened soda cans.

Thanks for all the input - If I don't shoot my eye out, I'll try to remember to take some pics and post them here

Now why didn't I think of that, I like it.

That's what eye protection is for!

Spray paint cans...

 

Watermelons with SureShot inserted make a nice target.

I like plastic easter egg style shells filled with talc or flour. They are fun to shoot.

 

Also, paint balls glued to a board or a target.

Oranges.
