"Monkey Balls" or the fruit from a sycamore tree makes for some great target practice.
I like going out and shooting them, as if ripe and fluffy they blow up in a cloud of puffy things. I figure they are about the size of the kill zone on a squirrel, so that's to the better.
If you have a sycamore tree that you might shoot at, beware of where your pellet is going if you miss, even if you hit the pellet might still keep going. |

That old trick. I used to do that. You can do it with any tree that bares nuts or fruits.
I used to shoot at pine cones in my pine trees, and that worked pretty well. Usually they'd explode and you'd know you hit it. One time I shot straight through the cone but it didn't fall, and you could see a perfect hole right in the middle of it.
But yeah, shooting upwards is something to be aware of. |
