The usual paper targets and soda cans/bottles are rather outdated. Does anyone have suggestions for other homemade targets? Thanks.

MattTheHat where are you getting the fertilizer??
Honestly, I purchased 10 pounds of it off the internet. I happen to have a farm, but I haven't gone to any ag supplies looking yet. I did the home made stuff last fall, and nobody seemed to be stocking fertilizer that late in the year.
I don't anticipate a problem with HLS issues from a rural ag supply place.
BTW, I purchased the aluminum powder off the internet too. I don't recall the name of the company, but they sell supplies to folks who make their own fireworks. I've got plenty o' aluminum powder left, so I need to go on and try to source some AN this summer.

I like saving the steel backing plates they cover the railroad ties with. That's the plate that's nailed to the tie that the rail sets on top of. Bring along the spikes and you have a standable steel target you can stand on uneven ground by careful positioning of the spike. Just keep an eye on your local tracks and wait till you see a spot where maintainance is being done.
