I can only disagree. As someone else said, the only animal that's too stupid to know it's dead! God knows what our American friends get out of turkey hunting.

I was also confused by NRT's statement so decided just to leave it.

See watermelon. Great idea no 'bad' mess, thanks steve.

Its not like im shooting an old tv or anything. I dont even like shooting clay birds because of the mess they leave. Shooting dosent always have to be super serious. We use the .22 to play games like darts, poker etc but i was just after ideas on other fun shit to shoot.

apples would be good...oranges too but birds n possums wont clean up afterwards..... 22lr golf is fun on well grazed paddock,but ball can be hard to keep track of with direct hit.

A mate and I filled some water balloons then froze them once. Launched them out of an oversized slingshot which was held by a warratah at each end. Shot them like claybirds with the 12ga, was pretty good fun. And any we missed, went and collected them and had another crack

That reminded me of when we needed a lot of ice for a keg party.... froze a large rubbish bin full of water in a deep freeze.
Put it on a large tarp and put a 12ga slug through it.
BLAMO, lots of ice. And it was spectacular.

Please tell me it was copper, not lead... At least not for human consumption.

Big blocks of ice are great fun to shoot though.

It was Roman vitamins.
I did think of that, but it was only for cooling the keg so I didn't loose any sleep over it, plus those munters would have benefitted from some Plumbium in their diet anyway.

Yep surplus fruit is good and if it is over-ripe even better. Grapefruit lemons apples and feijoas tomatoes for smaller targets... my girlfriend called it "making fruit salad".
No cleanup required, the birds and small animals eat the bigger chunks pretty quick.

A bridge. Or to be more specific a bridge panel. with a gun. A large gun. 165mm, so a tad bigger than my .223. But slow. very slow. Very subsonic. but the round carts a few kilos (15)of plastic explosive with it, so the 'hit' is pretty hard to miss.

Demolition gun on the front of our Engineer tanks, in Germany. Early 90's

^^^ Since we're going down that path . . .

Anti-tank live firing with 105mm M101 Howitzers - a decent size shell (28 lbs rings a bell) at 2800 fps with a tracer in the base. The only time we were allowed to fire the guns at charge 7. Farken big bang at both ends, would literally vapourise a car body at 600 or 800M. Only issue was there was always a fire after the shooting had stopped and it usually took all day to put out!
