| Any ideas? What have others on here done? I am looking for homebrew ideas. The key is realistic. The only thing I can think of is rc car receiver and remote and have it operate a target stand. Then to have a friend operate unknowingly. This could get pricey though. Something a little more KISS would be alot better. |

I know two guys that are both snipers on the same tac team. They sometimes will take about 10-12 helium filled ballons and tie them together in a long string. They use several different colors and someone calls a color and they each have to shoot one without hitting anything else.
It is much tougher than it looks. Even a slight breeze blows a line of 10 ballons pretty good. Any moving targets I have used were with a rope. The really good ones are really really expensive. I like the helium ballon on a RC car. Joe |

The range of most ready to run RC cars under $100 or so is only going to be maybe 25-50 yards max and your battery run time is going to be about 15-20 minutes.
If you get one that is good out to 100+ yards, it is likely going to cost several hundred bucks or more, especially if you get a few extra batteries and such to allow you to shoot for a couple hours. There's always force on force (airsoft/paintball) training or small game hunting if you want truly realistic moving targets. If you can live with a .22 capable moving target, there's this one ->Caldwell Shooting Gallery It all depends on exactly what kind of "realism" you are trying to create and how much you want to spend to get you there. |
