Pennies for targets

[hoghunter2]

Has anyone ever tried shooting pennies at 50 yards before. Or has anyone tried lighting matches with thier rim-fire rifles at 20 yards. So far I can only hitt the pennies.

When in doubt empty the magazine.

I am pretty sure that since the pennys are the property of the United States government that it is a crime to destroy them.  

There was just an FBI agent out at our range looking for violators. :roll:

Defacement of Currency

Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service. Their mailing address is:

When I first started my boy shooting we used Animal Crackers and awarded different points to each species.  There was a colored waffer candy that we used too and again different points awarded for different colors.  How about Life Savers and trying to shoot through the hole!

Besides both were bio-degradable and eatable.  :grin:

 I like to flip 1/4" flat washers into the air then shoot through the holes with my single six while in mid air. :wink:  :-D

Lately, I've taken to shooting golf balls with a Ruger single six.  I just throw 'em on the ground (preferably just after the grass has been cut) and chase 'em across the field with the ruger.  As they get farther away they just get more challenging.

Try aspirins  :shock:  Our club has a group which shoots  Bayer aspirins at 100 yds for a dime a shot----friendly competition    They spray them red, hot glue 50 at a time to cardboard and set them at the 100 yd line. A hit must not leave any red behind to count---a miss costs you 10 cents. They use the most beautiful benchrest rifles you ever saw with an occasional mod. 52 oldie thrown in. All use 36x scopes. Anything goes as long as it shoots 22LR ammo. I can afford the dime and the ammo, but I'm saving up for the rifle!!!!!  :lol:    pg
