I recently received my Masters degree from the University of Missouri. My wife did not buy me a watch, a fancy frame for my diploma, or a "dangerously-over-educated" coffee mug to commemorate the occasion. No, my wife bought me a Savage MKII TR .22LR (Awesome wife, I know.).
Now, what does one do with a .22 capable of sub half inch groups at 50 yards (I was only able to get a half-inch group, but I am sure it is limited but my inadequacies as a shooter.)?
My 12-year-old daughter and I decided we needed to go on an animal cracker Safari. We glue animal crackers to posterboard and "hunted" them from 50 yards out. Now that was a memory making morning. BIG smiles were had by all.
Next time we are going to glue them to index cards and place them in various distances in the woods. She has decided that we must also "hunt" gummy bears as well.
Just wanted to share our fun idea and point out a great reactive target for kids(and adults too).
