Range games?
- Thread starter TimeSniper
- Start date
At the ranch the distances available to shoot at are limitless.
My son in law and I like to start at 100 yards with beer or pop cans. Then we move them out 25 yards or so at a time. First one to miss 5 times total loses.
We have also used dollar store mint candies. they are about the size of a quarter. Start at 35 yards and move them back 5 yards at a time.
I have never seen a day there that we did not have some form of wind. Then it seems to shift a lot. Makes for a good time and learning hold offs.

Check this out from Shooting Targets 7. I bought one but haven’t used it yet. Looks like a lot of fun and not too expensive. Also has free shipping special going on right now.

Unique reverse Know Your Limits Target is something completely different than typical targets. The object is to NOT hit the target.

I hang these ping pong balls from 14 gauge copper wire at 100 yards. Sometimes one hit will take one out, sometimes it takes many, mostly depending on ammo used.

golf balls. I drill them and insert an eye bolt, the kind that holds a screen door shut. Hang them from tree limbs at different heights and ranges using 550 cord. Wind makes them fun to try and time the swing of them. We start at about 20 yards and go out to maybe 65 or so.

I haven't done this but I saw a video by "Mark and Sam after work" where they were playing tick tack toe at 100 yards with sodas and 22lrs. Sam (the wife) beat Mark at least once which was nice, normally she is the spotter and he is the shooter. They had welded up a little rack to support the soda cans and were then shooting from some fence posts. Obviously could be done multiple ways and multiple distances. Even one miss could result in a loss.

Can races are fun...
- who reaches the finish line first
- maximum distance for a fixed number of shots
- maximum distance for a fixed time (unlimited shots)
- maneuver through an obstacle course
Steel cans are best. For powerful airguns stuffing the can with a couple of plastic bags makes them easier to move.
