Fun targets?

[Argent]

Can anyone point me in the direction of some fun reusable targets for plinking?

Something we can use in the garden that ideally would feature:

[LISTl][*]Audible and visible confirmation of a hit[*]Self-reseting[*]Different sizes[*]Interesting outlines[*]Pellet capture[/LIST]

Is there anything like that out there?

Thanks for any pointers.

A cheap fun target for your garden is ice cubes because they explode when you hit them and they melt away so no mess to pick up if you have got an ice tray costs you nothing if not a pound a bag at the shop cheap good fun

SMK do some great animal head spinners for about £7 and Remington do some nice outline targets with a knock down disk and a reset disk for about £20. Either should be available from your local shop

Make yourself some Big Bang targets with empty drinks bottles. All you need is a tubeless tyre valve bicycle pump (or compressor if you're lucky) and maybe some chalk dust. You can set the bottle behind a metal plate with a hole of your choice.

add chalk dust for effect.

I've tried the bottles but I can't get the buggers to explode. Do I need more air or something?

It's odd but I don't know of any targets that tick all of these boxes at once. I think several meet the first three, but not pellet capture as well. Maybe you'll have to create a pellet-capturing backstop yourself - a large wooden box with carpet or similar? Or am I wrong?

i used to use water balloons. not very reusable but fun to hang on the trees. and the kids loved them.
one i got told off for. water balloons filled with baby powder. makes quite a cloud.

Along with extra strong mints try Love hearts, at roughly 14mm in diameter they make great targets at 50yds!

My personal favourite is cherry tomatoes, they explode nicely and make a thwack sound when hit.

Paintballs are also good.

lots of election propoganda dropping through my letterbox at the moment... seems a shame to waste it

If you don't mind cleaning up afterwards we have drilled a length of wood with holes to fit the neck of party poppers and let the string go through first then tie an m8 nut to the string so when you hit the nut with the pellet it sets it off you can use Various sorts glitter etc or remove the streamers and put a layer of talc but if you like a good flash a small layer of icing sugar or custard power but only outside at 30yards so you don't singe your eyebrows things you do to pass time

You have far too much time on your hands
