Thread: Thermal targets

Budgies can be had for $10 on trademe.

Only single use though if your rifle is sighted in properly.

Well, if going down that path. That annoying tomcat from next door you caught in a cage trap.......

Plovers

I just cut a 1” hole in a cardboard box.
For long range 2-300m I use chemist warehouse handwarmers. About the size of a large teabag. Pin one to target. I think they are around $7 for 10

Here’s a video using handwarmers

I use a piece of cardboard painted black with some aluminium tape for an aim point. Black heats up , tape stays cold. Better though is a cartridge case poked through the target board heated with a lighter. stays hot for quite a while.

I zero on an ipsc paper target then confirm on a frozen lemon or apple.

If you have a fruit tree, mandarin/grapefruit/apple etc, freeze them and sit them behind a normal target with a 1" square hole cut out where the bullseye is..........put the fruit on a piece of sharpened bamboo about 3" back from the target.

Inner tubing or a piece cut out of a tyre. Stays warm for ages after dark if its been in the sun for a while
