For those who get tired of shooting at paper...
I have a suggestion...next Easter...buy some of those plastic eggs after Easter at Walmart when they are clearanced at 75% off. Instead of shooting at paper all the time...I will shoot at the plastic eggs. It is a lot of fun because it explodes when it is hit, plus you know that you have a hit on your target. I also use different colored balloons to simulate a hostage scenarios as well. I have made my own steel targets as well...some 8" steel plates or some swinging targets for my rifles. I like to hear the steel when I am shooting 300+ yards.

I am sure it does...I have never been a big city fan. Especially Philly...no offense...I cannot stand any of the sports teams...My wife's family are huge eagles fans and I bashed on them for choking again.
Firearms prices are a lot higher in this area as well. Even though I tend to buy most of my firearms online. I like not having to pay sales tax.

I've shot at baloons and other party stuff before. Lots of fun.
Tin cans are great fun too.
A while ago, the company where I work at threw away a bunch of old computers. I picked up a couple and... made a few ventilation holes on them.
Now that was great fun!

Another good way to keep things clean, is to get several large heavy duty garbage bags, cut them so you can open them up, then duct tape a bunch of them together (think a huge blanket) and place your "shootables" on top of it.
Once you are done, pick up the big pieces, and the rest gets rolled up with the "blanket".==============
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
~Samuel Adams

I try not to leave a mess when I go to the shooting range...seeing how I dislike having to clean up after anyone else. I never tried the golf ball targets, but the bowling pins are great. At the farm I grew up at...I made some 8" steel plates to shoot and some swinging targets for long range shooting with my rifles. I like hearing the metal when it's hit...so you know if you hit the target. You can also shoot at clay birds too.

I shoot 5 gallon spackle bucket lids. safe to shoot and you can make them dance. Put them out at 200 and 300 yards. Lots of fun.

I am very tempted to get one of these.. looks like fun. Although I doubt id be able to use it at the range.
