It sure has changed a lot in the last few years.
It looks like almost everyone is going to handmade guns.

Looks like they punch paper.

Yes, It has been called a long distance paper punch.
They also shoot plywood boards there about 6"x8" you make a rasor
blade + on the board and shoot it from 50yds, some places let you shoot a max of 20rds at one board.
Closest to the center of the + gets 1st place, in case of a tie it's the one that has the most pellets in the center.
This has happend.
Tough shooting unless you have a good custom gun, then it's still not easy.
We shoot for turkeys, meat, or cash.
Fill your freezer or your pocket.
