Most of us our deer season is over, or we got enough in the freezer already.
What are you guys doing for fun shooting? Gun distances targets. Maybe do other kinds of shooting instead like trap.
One fun thing I do is blackpowder competitions. Woodswalk ones. A few interesting shots is to shoot a lolipop out offhand, hit a hanging car coilspring, hit a sagging chain. All offhand shots anywhere from 15 yards to usually 80 yards. Sometimes there a large 100 or 150 yard shot, like hit a large welding tank.
I shoot alot of gong targets with my 22lr's. Most often iron sights or peep sights. My favorite is a golf ball sized chunk of metal at 50 yards offhand. I got several 6 inch gongs at 50,100, and 200 yards at camp in a swamp.
I feel hunting rifles are the tools of the trade. I usualy shoot more primitive guns for fun. With the new reloading setup feel tempted to get something like a 38 lever gun or a 223 or 22 hornet.
Also, this is the time of year I get more of a chance to shoot. Don't need to be quiet at camp, or have foodplot or other property projects. Some drink, food, fun with the snowmobile, and plenty of empty brass shells by the bench.
