Never run out of rimfire targets again!

[mightymouse]

Here's an easy way to never run out of rimfire targets (granted, you do need an accurate rifle, a scope with plenty of magnification, and a good rest). Take a 2x4" and set it up at 50 yards distant. Fire five shots at anything you want, but be sure and recover the spent shell casings. Line the five spent shell casings up on the edge of the 2x4" and have at it. Every shot you take generates a new target. Done right, it looks like this:

Hehe, that's pretty cool.

I buy my targets in bulk at Walmart. They're packaged as "paper plates."

Um...... I have not the skills for this.

I do the same sometimes. This is just another example of "aim small, hit small".

As said, accurate rifles, good scopes, and a good rest go a long way. Some day you'll have to make the trip over there with me so you can try your luck.

Why use spent casings? Use live rounds and add a new twist to the old game of shooting an arrow in the air and running when they go pop.

Spent casings are easier to find lying around the range....

Kinda ruined me for scopes on a .22LR...

Doubt I could see a spent .22 shell casing at 50 yards without one. 6-18x variables or 24x/25x fixed power scopes for me.

Nor could I.
