Fun targets

[sonier]

I got tired of shooting 450 yards and not knowing if i hit my target, so a little brainstorming and i came up with this : 1 Gallon water jugs died with red blue green coloring whatever, you know if you hit them, kinda fun too shoot at longer ranges you can watch the jugs explode. Thought id post this for some fun info

freezing milk jugs and then cutting the plastic off is fun too

For kids shooting .22s, the little ketchup packs from your local fast food joint work well.

I've toyed with the idea of setting up a remote camera near the target so it could be viewed at the bench.

I like steel targets of all types.

Old cans of soda pop, well-shaken, are fun with any caliber.

Another vote for steel targets.

Someone is going to say it. It might as well be me - https://www.tannerite.com/. Helium balloons work well also.

Two clay targets, filled with flour and glued together. Makes a big white cloud when it's hit.

We like to fill 2 liter bottles full with food coloring. Stand them up and a hit anywhere near the bottom and they will take off like a rocket.

Hello all,
I like that remote camera Idea.
This was a Dan Wesson 744 with 9 1/2 inch barrel shooting 300gr lead bullets with a max charge of N110.

Brother and I did water bottles (Varied Sizes) filled with 3/4 water and 4 alkaseltzer tablets. Very fun and way cheaper then tannerite.

oh oh i like alka setzer tablets i need to record me shooting a 2 liter packed with alka setzers and go ahead and shoot a max loaded 125 grain hollowpoint from my 357 mag lol be fun too watch

Another fun one for .22 plinking are the toys that come in kids meals at fast food restaurants.

 

[sonier]

lol no fast food restaraunts around here for good 30 miles and no kids lol

Propane tanks! and I like the ketchup ideas, the flour in the clays, and the dyed water! heard of tannerite a thousand times, will get some soon probably.

 

[sonier]

propane tanks lol sounds um dangerous, so let me guess we will need a torch aimed where we shoot the tank lol, im thinking propane tank and torch to set off the gas lol

Egg on a string.

cats usually work well as reactive targets for me

 

[jayjaypunisher]

and old dolls, prefferably barbie type, and you can name them things like "hillary" or "nancy" before you whack em with 30 cal lead

Any kind of fruit or veggie that doesn't have a lot of air space inside is fun. Apples and potatoes are a lot of fun. Pumpkins are a let down.

 

[bhinks]

And jayjaypunisher wins the thread!

 

[jayjaypunisher]

just sharing what I know, ha ha

 

[devildog32713]

+1 jay jay wins by all comparison, hahahaha, and my Uncle tried the cat as a reactive target with his SKS, hahahaha, he thinks hes helping PETA, I mean hey, aren't they the ones always complaining about too many stray cats?? Thanks to my Uncle there's one less for them to complain about, hahaahha

Hard-boiled eggs, rotten fruit, pine cones, hedge apples, etc. No cleanup necessary.
