Opinion - edible (dog biscuit) rimfire target

[fljp2002]

My wife gave some daisy splatter target and they are fun to shoot but not sure how long they'll take to decompose if they ever do.

So that got me thinking, how about making my own reactive target out of dog biscuit dough.

It a target, a dog treat and when shot at in the woods/range it will be food for bird

What do you all think

Animal crackers?

Ha ha ha! Good idea. When pooch turns up his nose, into the range bag they go!

We used to "hunt" animal crackers. Who said that the .22 rimfire would not take Lions, Tigers and Elephants? LOL

I am going to try and make cookie cutters in the shape of "silhouette" target ie chicken, pig, turkey and ram

We had a muzzle loader woods walk and we hung up ginger snaps by strings for tree branches but by the time we got to that bunch of targets the squirrels ate them. LOL.

soak cheap dog food in water, roll the paste out, and go crazy with your cookie cutter. Safari time!

I cut 3 slots(2 blades wide) in a 2x4 and put crackers from the dollar store in the slots for my daughter to shoot at. If you have the room make a few that are two feet long and put them at different distances. Great off season practice for offhand shooting and cheap to do.

Well on the Beverly Hillbillies Jed used Elly Mae's corn cake for a wet stone.

Paintballs in the snow are fun to shoot. They're non-toxic ans 100% biodegradable.

I use the bulk box of saltine crackers. Good hi visibility white little crackers.

Ice cubes...…..add food colouring to taste !

Clays~good question. I recently bought some Champion "biodegradable" clay pigeons, and tested them on the weekend. Sort of tan-colored on the edges/back. Haven't decided if I like them, but they're tougher than normal clays. I always pick-up what I can (=missed birds) but allot of these ate a few pellets and never broke at all. lol Lawry's are my favorites (made in Ontario) but they're not common to find anymore.
