[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2032986, member: 9299"] Golf ball or egg shoots are fairly common across the BR and varmint shooting sports, and they have been for decades. I began 300yd/m egg shoots with my BR and varmint rifles the late 80's, and about 2 decades ago, we changed to golf balls. I have a 5 gallon bucket of used golf balls from golf courses, and these are cheaper, more durable and easily attached to a string or cable for swinging when hit. Often, we place the golf balls inside soda bottle caps that are nailed or glued down to a board or steel rail iron. Usually, we shoot with 22 or 6mm BR/Varmint calibers like 222, 223, 223AI, 22-250, 6BR etc. After impacts, many of the balls are still serviceable with only a resealed hole with a small piece of the outside plastic broken off. However, impacts on the sides often break a sizable piece off the ball. Usually for the loose balls on the caps, we can get an average of 3 shots per ball before they are not serviceable for the shoots. Swingers vary based on the impact near or on the string through the center. I believe I have a couple of impacted balls in my range bag in the shop, so maybe tomorrow I will locate these and post pics. [ATTACH type="full"]228694[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
