Being a computer technician for a huge company i get first dibs on old pc parts. i bring them home by the trunkload and blast em with my 12 ga and my .40s&w. If you have never seen the movie "Office Space" Get it ! its the ultimate printer/copier revenge.One hell of a funny movie too. Espically if you hate your job.

Hey Airbrain, uh I mean "Airborne"-

Wow! Man, I'm going to have some fun now.

By the way, can I shoot my computer, scanner and printer right now? Before they are old and need to be thrown away. Some days I feel like it.

The range I shoot at doesn't allow many of the things that I listed or that others have posted but we do have access to private land.

I agree with Chad, if done at the range facility please clean up.
 
Couple of fun ones from my youth: A friend of mine's dad passed away, and it fell to us to clean out his old TV repair store. He must have ratholed every old one he took in trade or couldn't fix. We also found his Webley .38 and a box of old ammo. TV's to the dump, Mk.IV along. Those old TV picture tubes really make a nice hollow pop. Used the whole box. On our farm, we had an area many folks used for a dumping area. Found a white toilet bowl, I hit it with a round from a 6 inch Security Six. BOOM! Nice big pop and shards went every direction!

Man!! I can't believe none of you rifle guys have mentioned eggs!! Surely some of you have shot eggs!?!

168gr .308 @ +/- 2650 fps + Grade "A" Large= A huge mess baby!! :D

I've also heard that pool (billiard, not swimming :)) balls explode nicely when hit by a .308 but I haven't tried it. I don't like firing on hard targets due to ricochet. Within reason, I wanna know where my bullet is gonna end up since I'm responsible for it. :)

One type of target that I like for any caliber of rifle or pistol, and is fairly cheap, is Wally World's clay "birds" for shotgunners. Bright orange color, 90 for $4, they lay on berms real well, and explode well too.
 
When my last computer monitor glazed over, I took it to my range and shot it with a round of 12 gauge 00 buckshot. I was awesome.

Thanks for all these new target ideas. I will try several. --plinker2--

target if only they would legalize them
and put a "Season" in which to hunt them...

Oh the humanity of it all..... ;)

SHOOT,COMMUNICATE AND MOVE OUT !
 
Worked for a gorcery store some years back that was selling spray snow for windows around Christmas. After Christmas, all holiday items went on sale, and there were two cases of snow left, so I made a deal and bought all.

Shake the cans up real good, and if you aim for the bottom, they take off into the air, producing lots of "ooohs" and "aaaahs" :)

Take a few tennis balls, cut them open, insert a 1/4 stick of 60 Gel (or better) dynamite, duct tape it all up, throw out a good distance down range and have at it with pistols. You will know when you make contact.

I have an old keyboard in my basement that I think would make great target practice. Shooting out each individual key with a .22 should provide close to a hundred small targets.

Recently, I've been nailing my targets to the same spot on an old dead tree leaning against another tree. My .40 has chopped half way through so far, and it shouldn't take much more before it snaps. I wish I could know which shot will take it out, because it would be great to take a friend to "prove" how powerfull the .40 is. :D

I like the idea of hanging something like boweling pins up on some wire for reactive targets. I think a nerf ball would work well for .22, but larges shells would probably tear it apart. It would provide a great moving target in the wind though.

Thanks for the great ideas!

I am probably going out to the range today, will try tying up empty coke cans and 2 liter bottles. Easier to get than bowling pins, should have the same reaction (and the 2 liters can be filled with water!)
 
Dont know about the bowling balls but most lanes will give you or sell real cheap old pins. As stated above it is unbelievable how many rounds they will take. If your just punching paper buy a package of cheap paper plates. Take a magic marker and draw around the center ring and you have a nice 2 or 3 inch circle to shoot at. Check out the gun shows for folks selling steel targets of various types. Love hearing that "ching" after a good hit.
 
Empty LPG "bottles", the torch size, hang them up by wires from a cross wire, they ring quite well. Full LPG "bottles" with a source of flame near by.

Real loud car radios, the ones that you can hear in a back room with whe windows closed and the air conditioner on "High."

After I sold my .44 1860 Army pistol, I had an extra unopened pound can of FFFg. I shot it at 50 yds. with my SKS...Wow! What a huge black cloud it made!
 
Them darn tree eating porkypines, talk about flying quills with a .41 or .44. Tough little buggers though.
