Was at Fred Myers. Walked by this tiny cast iron pan, 
and then, it hit me. What a great target. Turned around and grabbed one. Probably will get two more. $7.99

Great target

pro tip: larger, square cast iron pans filled with duct seal make great indoor pellet traps

I tried that, the Mrs. got a touch miffed.
Inches, feet or yards? With my Nitro it'd be feet.

Cast iron skillits make great targets. The pellets bounce off without denting them unlike a regular frying pan.
I got one (not as small as yours) hanging up at my 50 yard marker. I just touch it up with some black spray paint when I need to.

Found one these at a garage sale onceuponatime....thought the same as SepticDeath, "great target"... one shot from my .22 Dreamline and it broke into pieces! Different qualities of cast iron? Maybe?

I dunno...
I've always thought of frying pans as sort of sacred. After all, they're used to make things like cornbread and salisbury steak.
But that's a good idea! I just remembered this. It's 3" across.

THROW AWAY???? they need to be properly seasoned, it can take decades to get them really good.

So.. Spend decades to season them. Or a few days to blow them all to Hades.

I usualy do cast iron cookware in the oven at a certain temp and a coat of crisco . Maybe a hour?

As long as it dont crack its near lifetime.
Some i got from grams and she said it was her mothers . Then maybe from her's as well?
Edit.. fyi
I read a article way back on how when folks moved off cast iron cooking there was a iron deficiency from that in the usa.
We all know nonstick cooking is nuttin butt da best anyway . Mmmmm.. yummy Teflon mmmmm!
One more edit..
Personly i cant bring myself to shoot a good cast iron cookware.. i just prefer the ones i would not cook in that i can get from a thrift store .

I'll bet the vittles fixed in them are VERY TASTY too. All that history just seeps right in.

Unless they get warped on the bottom, no longer flat. Then they are about useless for cooking especially on these new fangled glass top stoves.

By far the best cooking utensils if taken care of and properly seasoned. I'd bet there's a couple hundred years in mine.
