The boy can shoot!
#26669 - 23/02/05 02:22 AM

All this patience with regulating loads has paid off. Sunday I went to a plinking range and set out eight 2 liter water bottles as 50 yards. I hit every bottle with my right(first shot) and only missed two with my left(second) shot. So I took a total of 10 shots. It sure builds ones confidence when you see that bottle blow up. I think this is much better practice for hunting that paper targets.

Shooting paper targets develops good shooting skills. Shooting plastic bottle of water build shooting confidence.

For me, at least, the immediate feedback of a reactive target lets me get bused to a particular rifle a lot faster than shooting paper - the sight picture and grip on the rifle is in immediate memory when you get the information as to whether you hit.

When I know I'm going on a hunt with a particular rifle I put a couple of lmall ogs on top of some gate posts 110 yards from the house. I shoot a couple of shots and then, next time I go through the gate I set them up again. I might shoot only 20 shots in a week, but they are all two shots out of cold barrels and, as the week goes by the logs break up so the targets et smaller. And, no cleaning up.
