Thanks to everyone who contributed to these suggestions. I love all of these low cost and fun targets. The balloons sound like a lot of fun and the kids (and Dad ) will love this. Aluminum cans or water bottles sound like a okay target for everything including the shotgun. A for when I get tired of blowing up balloons simple free paper targets on cardboard or plywood sounds great.


Thanks again. Lou

I find they are only good for .22's and don't use hollowpoints. They last about 40 rounds. You have to try it to understand how much fun they are, especially with .22 handguns. This will keep young people (and old) entertained for a long time. Figure an egg carton with a dozen golf balls to a brick of .22.
Now I feel like going golfing...

they are prety tough.

good for zeroing in your scopes on bigger rifles... if you hit one at 150-200 yd.. your scopes set.

lol

I cant, but I'm sure lots of people can.
after 50 yd with a 22...the golf balls are safe.

they are good to teach kids to aim small.

sniper practice... set one on top of an apple... can you whack the ball and not the apple?
