Killing golf balls

Post by Centaur » Wed Feb 03, 2021 9:37 pm

Took the H001 out today and tossed a few golf balls at random ranges out to about 30 yards. The little rifle made consistent hits on th balls, as well as spent 12 gauge shells. Fun plinking!

Shooting golf balls has been a favorite of mine. We would put them side by side ten yards in front of us and take ten shots each to see who could make theirs fly out the most.

How do you get the string through it? Can you just drill a hole and poke it through? I thought a golf ball is a whole bunch of rubber band wrapped around a small core, but that is from a lifetime ago, when I opened one up as a kid with a hacksaw... It seems as if a swinging ball would never stop moving, truly a hard target to hit. The only place I go to that allows for shooting at hard objects is weedy, so golf balls on the ground are out of the question. One hit and then it is gone forever.
