Packing Heat Has Turned Competitive

Bob Rogers

Weekend Jan. 20, 2018 — Time was when a large backyard or a vacant lot was a playground for plinkers. Lots of city kids would gather up tin cans, scatter them around a safe backdrop and riddle the little targets with BBs and .22 shorts. Eventually that gave way to greater sport outside city limits where the guns were louder and there were no complaining neighbors. Enterprising ammo makers fed this new-found activity by upping the ante, so to speak, to where the sport of target shooting, once the prerogative of deer hunters sighting in their rifles prior to hunting seasons, got into things like .22LR, its baby cousin the .17 HMR, and the upper edge .22 Hornet, 22-250, .223 Rem, 220 Swift and some other late-comers.
