I like canning lids hung on a piece of string. The slightest breeze make tham spin. Another thing our club uses, is a barrel with both ends cut out. You must shoot prone through the barrel at a target. We lay a stick at the opening of the barrel where your elbows must be, so the muzzle is well inside the barrel.Antother thing we set up a few years ago, was a stationary exercise bicycle. You had to sit on it, and shoot a target while peddling. Hard to do when you are laughing. Another is a horse made from a piece of old tree. You have two shots, with reloading done while sitting on the horse, rifle can't touch the ground. The reins must be held in the teeth when shooting, and they are short enough you are leaned over out of position. We do the ball split on this station. Another is the Mike Fink shoot, with a small swinging target, over the larger "head" target. 2 points for the tin cup, minus one for killing the head. One more is a three sided cabin the Dutchman built, with a bunk in it. This a multiple firearm shoot. You are lying in the bunk with a blanket over you, with a pistol lying on your chest. Start is when a sillouette of an Indian is raised by a pulley in the window in the back of the cabin. After you shoot the Indian, you shoot through loopholes on either corner of the cabin, at two more Indians. Then back to the center, where two steel targets set close together. This shot is taken with a blunderbus, loaded with shot. Last shot is to back out of the cabin, and shoot a grizzly bear just outside of the cabin.
We have been working on upgrading all of our targets for our shoots, so they will make a good loud ding when hit. It eliminates any questions about hits, and people like the sound.
