What are your targets when you practice shooting?

Only me then 8x10 pics printed from my lap top of my ex - last batch was very recent taken off his facebook page. In a pinch I'll write his name on a piece of paper. If I'm feeling light hearted then I just write schmuck & aim for letter m. Currently working with a rifle due to bilateral carpal tunnel & pinch ulna nerves.

If it's a family outting @ the range then clay piegons or soda cans.

I also shot an empty charcoal lighter can with a 44 Special and the bullet hit the rolled edge at the top.

The can went flying out across a field, and when I went to set it back up, I saw the can had wrapped around the bullet, and it was still caught there

Yup they are hollow or the ones we use have to hollow spots so they can inject a caulk to balance the pin..

You should see what you can make with them on a lathe..

WARNING wear long leather sleeves and a good face mask till you get all the plastic off the outside...

Experience talking here...

You can turn some nice goblets from them..
