    when i was younger i used to make little army bases out of mud, sticks and stuff and place little plastic soldiers and vehicles around and in it. would probably spend a couple hours building it only to destroy it all in a few minutes with my .22 super relum tornado with its 4x20 scope lol..... great fun! was about 15 years old at the time.

    Do a google image search for "gun targets" in large size. print off a few of them and take the challenge. there are some really cool ones.
    a can at 20 yards wont be much of a challenge to you, find smaller things to hit. even just drawing some circles on a piece of card in decreasing sizes can be a fun challenge and takes no effort or time to make.
    tell you what, its personal now. draw around a 2 pence coin 10 times on a bit of card. take ten shots (one at each) and then take a pic of the results and post it on this thread, that should get your blood pumping a bit!
    post it tonight wbt!!! do it!!

    small pieces of chalk, bottle caps, anything smaller than a can that's more of a challenge to hit. why not try and cut a pellet on a knife blade, you'll need a paper target behind it so you can see if you manage it.

    Have a look at some of the targets on this site.

    The BR25 can be interesting, but you need to score tough and not be easy on yourself.

    Glue extra strong mints to a flag.
    Fill hollow points with match heads (not safety ones).

    One thing I used to do was use a camera where I could veiw the video's frame by frame and video me popping off eggs apples full waterbottles etc the shots look immense in frame by frame slo-mo, you can even see a pellet blur in some. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, I used to headshot my mothers garden gnomes at various distances (much to her dismay) wouldn't reccomed that one though.Josh
