Plinking Targets

[John Sabato]

Cheaper Targets than anything mentioned and with no cleanup required.

- Take one appropriate scrap piece of wooden 2x4.

- Saw a .25 inch deep kerf in the center of it lengthways on the wide surface (appropriately wide enough for the next step).

- Buy a box of the cheapest soda crackers that Wal-mart sells ( you get a couple of hundred targets for about a dollar) and stand them on edge in the kerf.

- When struck they disappear in a puff of cracker dust...

- and when you are finished, the local birds clean up the mess... what more could you ask for in a target?

P.S. you should use appropriate target shooting skills to avoid hitting the wooden cracker perch... and even if you do it was only scrap wood. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Water ballons suspended by a string can also give a good visual when struck...
