What are your favorite (cheap) reactive targets? I was thinking of some ballons filled with helium and baking flour. its cheap and should be fun. what do you guys use? tannerite would be fun but at $8 a shot its too rich for my blood.

Try Range Bombs. I have used them on everything from pellet guns to 308. The smaller the round the more shots you get. A rangebomb with a 22 is good for more than 10 hits. A 223 will give about 5 hits. 7.62x39 is good for 3-4 hits.

www.rangebomb.com has a cool mpg file on it.

juice jugs filled with water
I'd use pop bottles but then I couldn't get the 5 cent deposit back

I've been using steel targets recently.

I used to use 2-L coke bottles filled with water, or drained 1-Q oil bottles filled with water.

I've been thinking about ballons.

if i ever saw one at the range, you hade better believe i'd shoot at it!

someone would make a killing if they made those in 100yrd 200yrs (1000yrd for the.50 fans) poster board targets.

full pop cans, shaving cream cans, I've heard almost empty spray paint cans are good.  propane tank but you have to be careful.  cds, clays, cement blocks

2 liter coke bottles filled with water and food coloring, then frozen. Colored ice makes a pretty cool target.
Cut off the plastic bottle when you set it out, you have nothing to clean up afterwards.

Red Jello in plastic water/soft drink bottles.  Put them in the refrigerator so they will set up and they look a lot like prarie dogs when hit with a soft point.  Lots of fun.  

Shootist.

bowling pins. Most bowling alleys will give them to you. The most I had to pay was 50 cents a piece. They will suck up an amazing amount of damage before you have to throw them out.
50 rds of 40, 21 rds of 45, some 00 buck, and 3 slugs before it ripped open. Could have still shot it, but we had a butt ton more so why bother.

Milk jugs + gasoline + tracers.  OK so it's not so cheap anymore.

I think I'd go smaller.
More like 1 or 2 liter pop bottles.


*note - be sure to fill the pop bottles at the range from a gas can.
*note - It would really suck if the pop bottles melted in your car and the gas leaked out.

Well, we tend to buy in mega bulk quantities at which time Dan Tanner tends to offer substantial discounts.  It's all based on how much you get.

Bowling pins........They are FREE

Fire Extinguishers.....I get about 300 of these FREE at work every year from the comapny that services ours and gives the traing twice a year.  most are aluminum, but I do get a few that are the steel CO2.

Steel plates........These are FREE from work too

Why spend money on targets when you dont need too
