stupid targets

[ips]

shot a target on Sunday called a "bouncing rabbit" twenty ish yards away left to right on ground then clay goes straight up in the air about four yards disapears behind a tree for a bit......never seen a rabbit do that.

yes I did hit it, but what's the point in it, why call it a rabbit when a rabbit cant do that. ?

bah ?

I am of the opinion that sporting targets should be just that "sporting" stupid targets doing stupid things at stupid speed or stupid distances are Imo..........stupid.

rant over.

Sounds more like a mongoose than a rabbit. 

Admittedly not a creature likely to be troubling the local farmers...

didn't seem to offer a sporting shot, until said rabbit did a four metre jump "that's sporting of the little chap" says I, then I shot it and it jolly well wont jump no more ?

At a private friendly shoot we had a dropping squirrel stand !

A rabbit clay rolled off a plank hidden from sight and then fell in a arch about 7 feet at a distance of about 10yards.  You had to be quick and it was a bit of fun.  If I recall I hit all but the 1st one.

They have a rat at Sporting Targets. Rolls own a ramp and then moves at a snail's pace. More like a rabbit with myxi.

They also had a tower target pointing downwards at a 45 degree angle when I was there on Friday. No option but to take that one on the drop!

I hate that rat.  Shot that dropping target at one of their challenges a few years back quite exciting

One of the shoots i attend, on occasion fire clays at a large trampoline where they bounce of at a rough trajectory. It can give a very different bird to what you think. Most shoot in front or over the top of them. - Thats a bit of fun

Kibworth?

I used to hate it, but think I've got it sussed now.

Maybe all the Rabbits had myxi and that was a 'stand in'  !

Kibworth? 

No - Colchester Garrison

They do something similar at Kibworth.  I found for me it was best if I completely ignore the clay until after it had bounced.  If I even tried looking at it before then I got the line totally wrong.

The lemming! A rat that drops off a cliff.
