If you use tennis balls, slice it in half so you're not chasing it down the road...good luck

If you use tennis balls, put a slice in it or cut it in half to remove the air so you're not chasing it 40 yards down the trail.     Good Luck

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that.  I tried it yesterday with a small wiffle ball cat toy and in addition to breaking it, it shot 20+ feet across the yard.  Never thought a little wiffle ball would fly that far lol.

To me, "sending" the target ball is the satisfying part of the fun!  If I send the tennis ball 20-30 yards with a good shot, I have my next target already set up...

Also, I fling the ball and let it bounce where it where it wants to randomize my practice.  YMMV!

It is fun to watch it sail.  In my case though, that would send it sailing onto the neighbors properties and I don't want to be that person constantly crossing over to retrieve balls.

Good point. :laughing:  I live on a 400 acre farm, so don't have that particular problem!

Happy shooting!
