I think cheap aspirin tablets are an ideal target. Reactive (they explode when hit), challenging and inexpensive. Ideal targets for a .22 handgun.

A more expensive, but fun target is to put a live cartridge into a target. Hit the primer and get that 'report' .....Usually I'll do this with .22s because they are so cheap. But at a long enough range you don't really hear them. Actually just centerfire primers are louder than most .22s....I should try them as targets (note to self...pick up a box of primers to use as reactive targets). Of course a live 12 gauge shotgun shell would be a REALLY reactive target, but expensive. And the best of all is tannerite, but I've never gotten to try it.

Never shot tennis balls. Have shot many golf balls. And yep, they make good targets.

Flies and mosquitoes that land on my targets are challenging scoped rifle targets. (Only live "game" I actually shoot).

Peace,
D.

Why not cut out the middle man and just put the tannerite in the trees covered in bird feed?

Not just all new electricity, mind you, which would be challenging enough. But all existing electricity, too.
