I've turned those dimply little spheres into enjoyable targets. They are a lot of fun to hit with a .22LR or anything else.
I got tired of chasing them all over the back stop so I devised a method of watching them bounce around but not have to go down range to put my back of place by constantly picking them up.
Below is a target frame that I made. The golf ball is suspended by two lines that are tied through two holes at the top of the wood furring strips.
I used mason line as it is tough. I get it in a dark color that blends in with the backstop. So, even with a scope, all you see is the orb suspended in space.
To get the line through the ball, I drill a hole in it first. The hole needs to be large enough to push a crochet needle through.
I push the needle through the hole and hook a line about 3-4 feet long in the middle. The line is pulled through the hole to the other side far enough to tie a double or triple knot on the looped end.
This leaves two strands of line on the other side of the ball that you can tie to the frame.
The ball will take a lot of punishment but will eventually need replaced. Nevertheless, it lasts a long time.
These photos were taken at range where the ball is located 110 yards away. I like to watch the look on everyone's face after shooting the ball. However, I must say that I need to try the 200 yard challenge. On the other hand, I may try to one-up you with 300 yards
At 300 yards a 1.68 inch golf ball is .535 MOA. So, I think I could give myself 1 out of 5 shots of hitting it with my 224V. I'll get back with you if that happens but first need to charge up the batteries for my camcorder because you skeptics won't take my word for it unless I get video.
