spall Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I have a few acres of property with a good backstop that I've shot on for years. It's slightly treacherous to scale, as it goes down into a ravine, so I like to make my trips down count... steel has been the preference for that. I have a few spinners, small gongs, and a plywood frame set up, but I'd like to add a couple of targets intended for full auto. For now, that's the 1928A1. Falling targets or anything prone to sending quick successive shots at random trajectories are off the table. Other than old appliances and cars full of tannerite (no), what are your favorite targets for full auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradhe Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I like the MGM steel targets. You can shoot forever with a 1928 and not mark them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT Fish Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Those self healing rubber ground targets are good. You can essentially blast them with a full mag as they roll/tumble/jump away from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spall Posted April 14 Author Report Share Posted April 14 Thanks for the input! I'll probably steer away from ground targets here (recall treacherous ground going into ravine), but may pick up a couple 18x30 silhouettes in 3/8 AR500. Any feelings about preferred distance for larger silhouettes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradhe Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 If they are set up at 90 degrees to the shooting point and are hard plate that does not dimple (very important), then 8-10 yards is a good minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 If your video tapping steel is the best. Love the rings unless you stuck at control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reichstall Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 so my friend got used car hoods that were unsellable than just keep trading them out for small fee people love shooting them because you can see the damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBoy99 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Blocks of ice are great. There is no clean-up when your done shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan K Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 In no particular order, pumpkins, old satellite dishes, milk jugs/plastic bottles (avoid glass for the mess), politician's yard signs (any party, if you leave them on my land without permission), 12" gong, man size silhouettes, woodchucks and other critters bothering our livestock.

BPinFL Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 I prefer biodegradable reactive targets. Here in Florida we have many sour orange and grapefruit trees which provide various sized targets year round. In the fall I use volunteer pumpkins from the prior year. Cut a small plug in the top, fill with water, and you better be at least 20 yards away when shooting them with rifle calibers because they will shower seeds and matter that far! No clean up, and the pumpkin seeds will sprout and grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolverJockey Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I have a fleming .22 conversion kit for M11/9 and I like shooting clay pigeons out of the air (after the drop far enough to have an acceptable backstop) Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
