I've been target shooting at the very-nice indoor gun club I belong to for years with handguns; especially with the magnum and bigbore revolvers I love so much.
I, personally, don't care to hunt and I can't really go "plinking" because the Colorado Mountains are so crowded and regulated now-a-days that I'd have to drive for several hours to find a deserted spot that's safe and legal for shooting.
Sometimes I put up a silouette at various distances and practise "double-taps" from a "ready" position. But drawing and shooting from a holster is against club rules for safety reasons so I can't do that. I also can't shoot very rapid fire for club safety reasons as well. (1 shot per second is the rule of thumb.)
I don't mind shooting for score or shooting for groups; heck I've been doing that kind of shooting for years and I could probably do it forever and probably will.
I've considered competition, but I only like to shoot leisurely sometimes and sometimes I don't feel like shooting at all for a month. I couldn't ever commit to doing once-a-week competitions or even be sure I could even be there the day a monthly competition was held.
Basically, I just shoot for fun and I'd like to KEEP it that way.
But, do you ever get bored with score or group target shooting?
What could someone do (alone) to "spice-up" a day at the range instead of hanging a target and shooting groups but still be safe and follow range rules? (I don't mind burning a lot of ammo!)
