Shooters - Cheap target for 22 plink'n

Did some father-son bonding with the firearms yesterday afternoon.
We came up with a new (for us anyway) target system for plinking with 22s (and 17HMRs).

We took a survey stake (or three) and stapled a strip of Gorilla Tape (Super duty duct-tape) to it with the sticky side out. That gave us a means of quickly sticking up Daisy Shatter Blasts to shoot at.
Nothing beats plinking old tin cans like plinking something that shatters when you hit it. No debating over a hit or miss either.
We did find the 17HMR round is so fast that it will often pierce the center of the SB and just make a hole in it. 22s however will shatter them quite nicely.

So – If you guys and gals are ever looking for a new (and rather inexpensive) target system for plinking. You may want to give this a try.
