A .22 will break a bottle at 300 yards.

If you can hit it that far.

Just clean up after yourself.

^ that

and hitting one at 150 with a stock 10/22 is quite a trick

read the box, .22's are lethal at over a mile

Funny, After all this talk about how STUPID it is to shoot glass, Someone posts a video of it.
No wonder gun laws are so stupid. The legislators have to keep PAR with stupidity.

IF you really must shoot glass bottles, take a box, lay it on it's side facing you. Put the bottle at the back of the box, shoot the bottle. All/most of the bottles stay in the box. Just don't unload on it so much you punch out the back.
If you NEED to have exploding targets, shoot ice or produce. I've also made targets out of flour. Mix with water, form and dry.

That's a great idea.

Go to the 99 Cents Only Stores and buy melons, bags of apples or red potatoes etc. Cheap targets that you can leave behind for the local wildlife.

Walmart sells a big case of orange biodegradible clay pigeons for around $13.

Shooting glass bottles on public land is a horrible idea. Would you break glass bottles on your lawn? Why would you do on public land then?

[judoguy]

yeah thanks guys I decided to try the water jugs.


but what I really want to try is the cheap soda cans left in the sun. That seems like a lot of fun.

[zinfull]

As a kid I used to shoot glass with my red rider. There were family dumps so it was not a big deal. It sure was fun.

My favorite desert targets are cans of whichever is cheaper. Beer or soda. Sometimes beer is cheaper!

Leave in sun and shake before shooting. Cans explode and are easy to pick up.

Um, yea. I think his comment was aimed at the fact that you posted a video of what the vast majority in this topic, abhor.

And I think its "high horse", not white horse.

As a matter of fact, I never have in 40 years practiced by shooting at a glass container.
Cans, clays, paper, steel spinners, bowling pins, plastic bottles, melons.... sure.

[olhunter]

tomatoes and oranges work great

Lol...exactly....I buy the 'bulk bags' of potatoes, oranges or apples at Sams...cheap, fun to shoot and food for the critters.

Well,when your done shooting for the day.You best go pick up all the lead you left in the field. We would not want to leave all that deadly toxic waste to harm the environment.Look what happen to Broderick in west sac.
Ok well since i killed a glass bottle ill turn in my fire arms and go hug some trees.

i shoot glass bottles from time to time. but on my private property only. never shoot glass on public land. imagine a poor lil toddler coming up on your old range, barefoot, while chasing butterflies around.

bowling pins are great, they can take so many rounds b4 they actually start to come apart, 5 pins and you have plenty of scattered targets to keep you busy for a day.
