Prairie Chuck And The Sharp-Edged Cans

Clair Rees

Empty cola cans aren't ideal targets for rimfire plinking. Bullets often pass through the thin aluminum shell without even moving the can. When the shooting's over, you're left with a perforated mess of sharp-edged cans to clean up and dispose of.

I've recently had a lot of fun plinking at Birchwood Casey's Prairie Chuck Silhouette Swinger target. The target features a metallic prairie dog silhouette that "clinks" and spins on its overhead axis when hit. Center-chest hits register on a fluorescent red stick-on target spot that's easy to replace.

The metal assembly features a foot rest that makes it easy to push the twin legs of the frame into even frozen ground. The target is a 1/5-scale likeness of a prairie dog silhouette. This means shooting at 60 yards gives a sight picture similar to what you see when you target 300 yard dogs with a centerfire .22.

The interactive target requires no resetting between shots, and there's no messy debris to clean up.
