Ideas for targets for precision target practice with an air rifle or rimfire?

[brown dog]

Racking my brain trying to think of 'interesting' targets for sub-50m practice with air rifles or rimfire.

 

Ideas:

 

Sugar cubes

 

22 short blanks end on

 

 

Grateful for better ideas!

Polo mints hung by fishing line

snooker chalk

 

oxo cubes are testing and show a good hit

 

 

frozen peas are good practice as well but make a 100 yards you dont want it too easy

hi BD,

 

paintballs have a good splat factor, not too pricey

Small mild steel plates ring nicely when hit with an airgun or rimfire, but are not destroyed like most reactives and they can be hung just about anywhere.

Playing cards set on edge at 25M, elbow rest, and shotgun hulls at 50 and 75M off hand. Clay birds at 100M off hand.~Andrew

I was going to add grapes , small skinned fruit or cherry tomatoes . Explode beautifully :-) . Unfortunately I am going to have to say it before anyone else but olives are fun too !! Looks like we've nearly got the whole drink made up but I think a gin bottle might be too easy to finish it off!

cheap ping pong balls filled with talc , spectacular when hit !

20 firebirds all in a stack!

If you shoot through the whole pack from the end you get a gut rending boom that will shift railway sleepers.

Immensely satisfying if a little extravagant but paid for by the .17 Hornet promo :-)
