Go buy a bunch of cheap golf tee's  they are great for target shooting. If you like color, then buy some paintballs to put on each tee. o

Cans, plastic bottles full of water, balloons, and the occasional computer.

Refrigerant tanks filled with H2O or empty make great targets!

Please clean your mess up and do more and clean a bit of someone else's too. I know that the rangers that have run across me have been more then happy I police my own brass and shoot gongs and paper.

I paint the metal lids of glass jars, they make great targets for pistol ranges. And are a real challenge for rifle ranges.

Tin Cans.  I take an old wire hanger, straighten it out except for one bend which goes over a tree branch, or what have you.*  Get a 16-penny nail and a hammer, and punch 2 holes on the non-open end of a tin can.  Loop the hanger through the holes, like a fish-hook.

However, it really screws with my depth perception if I dont put something behind it, like some scrap wood or cardboard.




And to all those who thought "Destroyers" when I said "Tin Can", I dont have my Iowa-Class Battleship yet.




*Yes, I have a proper backstop with this, in the form of a big friggin' hill.

I used to shoot at a steel plate, half inch thick. I'll have to retire that target. 5.56mm does a surprising amount of damage to it.

...By then, I am out of beer, and I go home.


Good thinking, man. But you can always fill the beer cans up with water and shoot them, too. I like to fill two beer cans up, and spot them close together. Then I fill up a third, and place it behind the first two.
The first two are hostages, and the third is the bad guy. Head shots only.
