Have actually found that the "shooting squares" game is a bit more useful from the training point of view. From those that don't know it, you sight on the aiming mark, and then have to shoot the four corners of a square by moving your sights instead of your aimpoint.

true,Jaycee.But all I was pointing out is that there is free info out there to do things better,wether it is legal or no.

Ok... Fair point CG

gota get me a golfball tree mightn't be a great idea because you'd want a very high backstop or be on a hill but sounds deadly fun

Hello all
I was reading what Psittacosis was saying yesterday about catching bullets by putting three 2ltr bottles down a pipe and fireing at them. T said id try it last night:) Well it didnt work fired a swift at it last night and Holy F**k i think i should have used well say 20 bottles insted of 3 !! and a steel pipe insted of wavin:D

Umiq88

yea you could try doing it into a plastic barrel but its gonna get mashed off the barrel

above is the ones i recovered the difference between the 2 bullets is the left is 37years old which my father used when he was my age and the right is my ones and an empty casing the recovered ones the left was shot as described and the right was shot into a thing of about 30 cd's i got them free off the net dont ask

Made an interesting discovery today: fodder beet explodes nicely when shot with ballistic tipped ammo in the .223

Instant pulp! :eek:
(a bit expensive though)

Just watch the backstop. :rolleyes:

can you get tracers in .22lr :?

Eley and RWS made 22lr tracers at different stages, some dealers probably have a few boxes left, worth ringing around to see.

Umiq88

forgive my naiveness but what are tracers

Rew

There bullets with phosphorus tips that burn as they travel so that they can been seen (esp in the dark/dusk).

Oh hell, never mind.

I think the tracers available on the civilian market are the ones with the flare material in the base, rather than at the tip of the projectile.
The white phosphorus tipped stuff is getting on for incendiary ammunition.

I have the remnants of a box of RWS .22LR tracer I bought in Watt's Bros back sometime in the '80s. I'm sorry I didn't buy more at the time, as I haven't seen it anywhere since.

I keep seeing ads for it in various magazines, but the idea of putting that down the barrel of an Anschutz 2013 just makes me shudder

Our rifles have the flame thing going for them anyway!! No tracers needed!

Sparks

Indeed - more cleaning required!

They're talking about tracers over on The High Road-
