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?

Probably, yes. Get as much air in as possible. More pressure equals a bigger bang. As with anything pressurised, use caution.

Shooting at dawn (neil180) on here just done a video on youtube great watch and he really liked them...

As for ice cubes its fun but i had to stop because i lost the recipy to make them.

I have some remington targets and i push them through an old chinese tin/tray into the ground that catches the pellets then i melt them down to make catapult ammo. Some might save it to weigh it in as scrap it might be worth while.

As previously mentioned, I bought a couple of Reflex Targets. Pricey enough at 40 quid each but it's nice to have some well made different targets to shoot at. In the video you will see that the dueling target snapped rubber bands. I had great fun snapping them to be fair - I went on to put some extension springs to replace them but these are too strong so I will get some weaker ones. I have also sussed why the rubber bands were snapping - they were working their way down the pole on the move able part of the target and getting wrapped round the bolt head. Cracking fun though and should last a lifetime.

I shoot all types of reactive targets but some of my favorites are chalk disc exploding/shattering to dust target, and spent shotgun shells, they are great fun, they fly up in the air and bounce, they are very strong too so last a long long time.

The other cheap target I use is mint imperials I hot melt glue them to golf tee's or a peice of wood as they explode when you hit them i also use pavement chalk I made a tube out of box section which the chalk fits inside and drilled a hole 10mm in size all the way through about 15mm from the bottom then fitted another peice of box section which fits inside this act's as a weight to keep pressure on the chalk so when you shoot through and the chalk drops down I buy it from the pound shop you get seven sticks in different colours

I use extra strong mints, Packs of 4 for a £1

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?
