I am somewhat new here but I do not see many talking about shooting flies for targets. A number of years ago when Beeman was a name and I was shooting my R1 a group of us would bait flies. A short length of dowel rod or even a stick stuck in the ground with a dab of hamburger meat on the top end. It was great fun to sit back maybe 50~75 feet and wait for a fly to land. Would not take long. We would take turns shooting and if your shot touched the meat you did not score. Even more fun arguing about you touched the meat, no I didn't.
Flies for targets

Flies are one of my favorite targets…..many on here share our sentiments. The supply never seems to diminish! Thanks for reminding me to do my part to keep them in check. John
PS I see you are in the Tampa area….if you have any interest in Fieldtarget…we have a club in Arcadia, and one in Nokomis. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll get you any info you need. John

I have been to the Arcadia range. That is if it is still on I think it was 70 near the Peace River Campground.
While I thank you for the offer both places are a little too far for me. I say Tampa Bay area but really I am in Tarpon Springs. Maybe 120 miles from the Arcadia range.
