Donnie D's Bustin Golf Balls 200 Yards

You need Dramamine for the first minute. That is one cool range you got there Donnie.

Yeah, I was so surprised that I hit that quickly, on the second shot. Surprised me. By the way, I'll take me a few of them Dramamine if ye got any extry.

How did you attach the balls to the string?

I used an awl to make a small starter hole in the golf ball (just a small dent really), and then screwed in a small eye screw. Then hung from the target stand with a short length of bailing wire. I am really surprised at how well the golf balls have held up to the impacts of both .22 and .223 rounds. I'm gonna try them with some .308 next, but it looks like they will be great reusable targets. Cheap too. Got these at Wal Mart in a 12 pack. They are labeled recycled golf balls, for just under $6 for the 12.
 
A golf ball diameter is 1.68", so that's sub-moa shooting. Good stuff.
Reminds me of when we played SniperGolf down in Maxton. :D

I'm pretty sure I can work my way out to 500 yards and maybe a bit more. But for me anyway, the hits may be more luck than skill at those distances. But still fun.

Let's see, 500yds is about 5moa. Half of that would put you at 2.5" for .5 moa assuming the rifle and you are up to it. Golf ball is 1.68", add half a bullet diameter... Things start getting squirrelly past 300yds though.
:D

You got that right, but that is what makes it so dang much fun. Quite a challenge, and I'll probably not be able to do it, except maybe for blind luck, but I speck I'm gonna try.
