Trap/skeet/clays. Plate shoots involve fast pickup and accuracy, not moving literally but cheap and more fun than paper.

Sarco had some U.S. Army surplus moving target training simulators a while back. You might check with them.
I knew a guy once who hooked up an old lawn mower engine to a cable and pully system. He hung milk jugs from the cable that went in a circle and shot at them. He controled the speed by the idle setting on the engine. Odd and loud, but it worked. |

there are tons of websites that sell those 'spinners' and revolving steel silouette targets. a car battery and 12v motor would be interesting when coupled to a string of those! you really gotta be careful with the calibre and ammo you use though...centerfire rifles tear hell out of cheap steel in a big hurry.

Balloons. On a light wind day just let them blow around.

I saw a SWAT team training snipers with a helium balloon tied to an RC truck.

You might want to consider moving to Iraq or Afghanistan

Yah, I was going to say...go to Radio Shack, buy one of their el cheapo RC buggies, tape a stick to it, and tack a target to that. Or, tie a balloon to it; that works too. Make sure the balloon's higher up than the vehicle, though
Or, if you like expensive targets...just shoot at the RC buggy!  Be sure to police up all the parts, exploded batteries, etc afterwards... |

here's my criteria 1. I usually shoot alone so i cant have RC cars or whatever. 2. I usually shoot at a range so ballons are probably out of question unless thay're tied down and it's windy but a good idea though. as to spinners I definitly want a target that moves side to side or up and around like a real person would. I'll keep looking though thanks, oh BTW I was just banned from guns.net for asking a tactical question! truly jerks!

Wouldn't a real person take cover instead of moving from side to side???

I find that dogs running loose in my yard make interesting moving targets.
