Not a good way to fix your vittles.

I love novelty targets like that! Lots of fun to shoot. Potatos, apples, eggs whatever, they makd great targets. I remember an event at a local club called the "John Bobbit" where we shot at....you guessed it, WEINERS! Only a total amputation scored. You can imagine some of the comments at that one. :crackup: :crackup:

Tater Sauce anyone?
What are the orange targets?

 

i think those are called drop targets? they drop down when whatever attached is shot off. i think. we use to use something similar to that set up for long range shooting for a quick reference as to aiming and a hit. :imo:

The orange sticks are just that.
Orange wooden squares about 1x1x6" long they were part of the aggerate score.
We had
Strings
taters
baloons
A "V"
and 5 different items on a card.

I'll post a picture of that card later.

I use tomatoes! They explode nicely, and make instant tomatoe guckies! Zucchini, pumpkins, squashes are too soft and don't quite have the same "Galliger factor" Have not tried watermellons yet, although I did see one get hit with a small 1- 1/2" cannon once, very nice! Bits of red and green rained from the sky! Fun to eat afterwards!1 Just got to rinse the dirt, grass and leaves off first!
