Steel, paper, I enjoy and use both.
Lol beer cans... ah brings back memories... but then again I could use the spray paint cans when I get done painting steel.
Been there done that. I enjoy doing a little tin/steel can rolling with a .22. Other targets I've used (and always clean up) include:
- Water filled containers (milk jugs, soda bottles, plastic peanut jars, etc)
- CD Roms I need to destroy (shooting them is more fun that cutting them up with sissors)
- Phone books
- My kid's toys, once they are broken beyond repair
- Old cell phones (battery removed)
- Unopend soda cans (shake up good first for some fizzy fun)
- Broken alarm clocks
- A mailbox
- Dead ceiling fan (out past 25 yards due to ricochet risk)
- Pumpkins (you wouldn't believe how tough these things are)
- Toaster oven (glass door removed)
- Computer keyboard (exciting, but cleanup is a PIB)
Basically, any assorted junk that is going in the trash anyway (or that I spot on the curb) that I can make safe by removing batteries, glass, etc. Also, just be mindful of ricochet risks.
The keyboard was fun. Hit it with a blast of 12 ga birdshot (#8). Scattered keys everywhere, which wasn't that fun to clean up. I only found a few keys, most notably the ? O and Y .
I had a messed up toilet I wanted to take out to the farm one day. Teach that !@#$ a lesson. Decided the cleanup wouldn't be worth it. I regret it now.
Coulda woulda shoulda filled that turd up with a few pounds of tannerite. There's a thread starter, "how much tannerite to make a toilet disappear?"
