Easter is near and it's time for me to stock up on my favorite target, the plastic egg. The 2days past Easter are the time for me to horde these by the armload. They work exceptionally well when filled. Colored water is nice, so is ice, but the creme de la creme is fine flour. When hit it makes a wonderful poof that hangs around for a few seconds. Baby powder works too but it's more expensive. Incredibly difficult target for rifles at ranges you can't hit with a rock. Hard for handguns at range you can hit with a rock. Not so much fun got shotguns...oh well. They are a blast with bows and slingshots too. See below, most of the stuff you can do with a soda can be done with an egg. Just buy a cheap bag of golf tees and you have ready made target stands.
What other items do you intentionally repurpose into shootables?
Apples, walnuts, pumpkins...hedgeapples
I occasionally get crates of bad sodas too. Lots of fun when thrown for a shotgun target. Best thing about this is if you watch the can carefully you see where you hit it. Let's you put the most lead into the most feathers when it counts the most. Summer days sodas are nice too. They sit in the sun and get hot, pressurize, and when nailed with a rifle they splash quite nicely. Good practice for a standing Pdog or treerat. Sodas are nice for handguns too, pop the top and hook a string to the pulltab, now you have a pendulum. Good luck, it's small and quick.
I'm starting to think junk soda should be my favorite target...
