just got back from shooting pd in wy. we ususally take a bag of apples or grapefruits with us so we at least have something to laugh at if we dont see to many pd's. just wondering what is your fav fruit to shoot.
so far we've tried
apples
grapefruits
cantalope
eggs, (very hard at 280yds)
coconut

I've shot AT eggs at egg shoots down in Somerset KY, it's awfully challenging 200yds-factory class 300yds-light custom 400 yds-heavy custom. There are several egg shoots across the eastern states throughout the summer, tough business. Luckily, I just go to visit with my the other shooters.......

Hey nut,

Are eggs a fruit in Utah. Sounds like a great challenge. Thanks for the idea.

Rats. I thought this would be about varmint hunting in San Fran.

Lee: That would be too good to be true! Talk about polluting the human race. Good thing for the rest of us that same-sex mammals can't breed.

Hey I herd they try to raise kids but only wind up raising a few turds!

eggs are chicken fruit!
Me and my boy got into a little shooting contest, we filled coke cans with water and then set an egg on top, backed up to 200yds and proceeded to see who could hit the egg and not hit the can, was alot of fun til i noticed the boy starting to "miss alot" told him he needed to concentrate more he was losing! his reply was no i'm hitting what I shoot at, just easier to hit the can and destroy both targets. and for any that maybe sceptical of the NEF Handi rifles, that's what we were shooting with! now we are three weeks from goin on our first prairie dog shoot!

I'm not skeptical about the Handi-rifles, I just don't like the extra work, breaking them open, catching the cases, dropping in another shell, closing it up, trying to get it right on the bags, cocking the rifle, firing the shot, repeating the whole thing over and over....... Call me lazy

so far my favorite has been the apples, cantalope and grape fruits. the eggs were fun becuase of the challenge, but the splat is not as good

Sounds like you need a new spot to shoot pds. Besides who wants all the volunteer fruits and veggies growin in places they shouldn't be.

For some reason cantalopes always seem to explode the best. Rifle or shotgun. Grapefruit and oranges for the rimfires. Oddly, i've never shot an apple, that will have to go on my list of to-do's.

There are two "seasoned" shooters here who use grape jelly smeared on the targets to attract flies and then try to shoot them with .22's at 50 yards. They have a great time trying.

when i was a kid I used to hose down the concrete patio at our home.
Than shoot the wasps with my Red Rider bb gun.
I still have that bb gun must be 40-45 yrs old at least. still shoots good.
I have a little bantam hen that lays small eggs about 2 maybe 2.5 inches
These eggs don't agree with me so i line them up on the bank where i shoot
Nice challenge!
