Who shoots what ?

[Oggie]

I'm mighty curious as to what we shoot/hunt regularly ? I'm a .22LR fan when it comes to small game or target shooting. I shoot a Hatsan Optima U/O for clays and birds and use a 7mm08 for bigger game hunting. I also owned a .204 and a .223 that I loved ! Might I add that I'm based in NZ so hunting is absolutely legal.
What do you folk shoot/hunt ?

Animal silhouettes, beer cans & bottles, sugar cubes, paint balls, chalk sticks, eggs, spray cans, home made reactive paper targets, duelling trees, so on and so forth.
Basically anything that reacts to being shot at. Smaller the target and bigger the reaction, the better
Usual range is at 50 to 100yards. And usual guns used are .22 air rifles.
There is a blanket ban on hunting here and the only things permitted to be shot are rats. So no hunting of any kind for the majority of us.

Oggie...You're lucky to pursue your hobby....Small Game, Big Game & what have you
As Kshitij so succinctly wrote, its pots, cans, animals & bird cutouts of metal & cardboard
Our government's blanket ban on hunting & issuing arms licences is a real damper
So what's the latest with you....send some pics!

and these things also you can't shoot anywhere you feel like it. It has become pointless to get a License and then buy expensive guns.

I mostly shoot targets and soup cans. I like soup cans because they are heavy enough not to blow over under most conditions. I also shoot Tannerite:

I shoot steel with armor piercing incendiary ammo and high explosive armor piercing incendiary ammo. Abandoned cars and stuff. Bowling pins. Steel target trees.

I don't hunt but I have nothing against it and I take no **** from any man, woman, or small mammal so I stand ready Fortunately, the past decade or so the only things I have had to kill is mice in my house and moles in my garden. But I'll kill anything that messes with me, mine, or my property. I've had some animals decide to eat my plants, chew on my house, or squawk/howl at 4 AM on a regular basis. But I've been able to chase them off after a few tries or by the time I was really fed up and decided to blast them, they got the message and moved on. So everybody's been happy at my current house

Tannerite would be really fun, can imagine doing a bunch of super stuff with it.
Unfortunately like most good things it is not available or legal here, so tried using a mixture of toilet cleaner and aluminium foil but sadly the results were not near as dramatic.
@all guys abroad, some plinking, hunting videos would be highly appreciated

Moulindu shoots 500 mg Calpol tablets.
I shoot Coke/Pepsi caps and deformed pellets on floor.

I'll try to get some video of my next shoot. I have very few videos uploaded online and don't even remember the login info. Here is one at a coal pit. I fired up my buddy's gong in the video but I didn't know it couldn't handle rifle rounds. Oops!

[kshitij]

Damn man, that looks like a ton of fun! Looking forward to see more such videos

I have better tracers now Those didn't light up until 100m our of the barrel (M856) and you could barely see them.

Between a 30-06 and 12 ga most of my hunting needs are met. Throw in a .22 and the fun part is covered too.
