Egg shoot with half of them cooked the other half raw. You eat what you don't hit.

We used to shoot two charcoal briquettes suspended on strings, with a raw egg suspended in a baggie as a choice for the third shot, for double points. A missed egg was an eaten egg. I always chose the egg, and never had to eat one. LOL.

Splitting a ball on a double bitted axe, at about 20-30 feet is a fun, challenging target. Clay birds, or water balloons placed on either side of the axe were broken, depending on the accuracy of the shot. Both birds or balloons broke when the shot was true.

We shoot at a single briquet tied to a butcher sting hanging from a 2x4 or branch. The briquet must be totally GONE to be scored a hit.
Sometimes, a small chip left hanging will defeat you form scoring a hit. The higher the vel. the greater the chance of no piece left hanging.
(just a thought for the squib load shooters) I've guilty of squib loads if I'm shooting the .69.  Only 85gr. for close targets.
