Your Favorite Plinking Targets

Steel silhouettes, send em flying with a nice clang. I have all kinds - chickens, rats, crow, pigeon, seagull

My wife is in kidney failure and she does dialysis every nite so we get delivered loads and loads of a dialysis solution that come to us in fairly large boxes so I break the boxes down and use them as pellet traps for my .177 and .22 air rifles.
Once I'm finished shooting them up off to the dump they go.

One of my favorites this time of year is roasted pumpkins!

Paintballs on golf tees.
Pinecones in trees using a rangefinder and strelok to practice long shots.

Eggs that have gotten too old to use. Very visible even at long distances and they usually explode on impact! Paintballs too!

Beer bottle caps suspended by magnets, paint balls on golf tee's, small homemade spinners, silhouettes, smaller the better.

Small Advil bottles hung from a string by a nail. Shot from a distance with PCPs or rolling on ground with vintage CO2 pistols(Crosman 600, Mark 1,11, S&W 79G).

Bath wall tiles on a berm or bank make decent targets. Can usually get several reduced size targets from the fragments too.
Dad for whatever reason must've had a pallet or so that we've used for decades... seemingly endless supply that he still drags out of the dusty shed each time we visit and head for the range.

Chronografs...

Still like shooting tin cans full 2 liters or cans of old pop bottles full of air and chalk anything reactive I shoot with my nephews whenever we get a chance so I try to keep there attention longer

Small cat food can hung on a string......hope the wife's cat soon dies. Also like paint balls and eggs and chalk.

Aspirin tablets. I lay them out in a row, dip tooth picks in elmers glue, and stick the tooth pick to the aspirin. Let them dry for 30 min or longer, stick them into holes drilled into the edge of a 2x4 and you're good to go.

With my meager skills, it's a challenging shot at 30 yards.

Forgot to mention-- they make a nice white puff of "smoke" when hit!

Take a 1 x 2 furring strip, cut to 3 inch lengths, paint if you wish. Hang from a string, or just setup on the ground or other support. One 8 foot strip yields 30+ targets and when they break up, noting toxic left behind. Keep a bucket of targets handy and you are good to go.

Steel Plinkers targets. Very low maint and last forever.

Dodge3500, Truly sorry to hear about your wife's kidney failure. I truly hope and pray for a positive outcome.

Favorite plinking target. Necco wafer candies. They break like glass, are biodegradable, brightly colored, cheap and available everywhere. What more could you ask for?
They are also similar in size and shape to the holes in field target targets which makes them ideal for tons of rangefinding practice. Set them up anywhere you like. With small metal binder clips or even paper clips they can stand up or be placed in trees, hung from wire fences...

Oh yeah and army men.
