There's all sorts of directions you could go with this threat title. I'll just keep my mouth shut from here on out.

I pick up stacks at the recycler,
shoot in a few dozen holes,
and take them back.
So we have nice targets for the .22's.. empty 12 gauge hulls or claytargets. =o)
Have used bowling-pins, glass bottles (that was thrown away), paper-targets, juice-jugs with water, TV-set, video, computermonitors, harddrives or whatever we could find at the yard.
Have shot at small tin-cans with cochtail-sausages with the .22LR also... now that's a mistake if you're too close and uses CCI Stinger.
Yuck...
But it wasn't worse than when my friend fired his .22Mag rifle into a box/bucket of mayonaise..
Double yuckk.!!
Don't do anything that I've allready done - That'd be just plain STOOOOOOPID.

Black walnuts off the tree. They are about the same size as a squirrels head.
You too? Black walnuts are my favorite, though sometimes I cheat a little and aim for the 2 or 3 in a bunch.
Old watermelons, whole or just rinds, and neat too, though large. If you want to really have fun shooting melons, though, try a .308! [;)]

I prefer the gong or the biodegradable targets. All signs of eggs, necco wafers & charcoal briquets disapear after a couple rain storms. The gong picks right up and you can fly. That's great working second shift, I can hit the range at the club before work with no time wasted picking up.

Yea', I have a stack of them. I collect them from friends. They're just the right size for a 25-50 yard target. You can tell eazy when you hit them (which in my case may not be that often.[:D])

Yup, notised!!
We've got a "brewery" here, which is actually just a company that mixes water into a beer- or soda-concentrate and put it on bottles.
"Beer-concentrate".. yes, it's a Tuborg and Carlsberg "concentrate" that is mixed with water, shipping it as a concentrate saves freight, because we don't have any actual brewery here.
Beer and soda's are shipped from Denmark like this - and it's just as good as the real beer in Denmark.
Sometimes they throw away some flawed or broken bottles.
I don't know why they do that, I'm all for Re-cycling - and think they'd be better off being recycled.
BUT it is only the flawed/broken bottles - the good bottles are offcourse cleaned thouroughly and reused any number of times - the bottles are thick and strong.
but I hear it is actually cheaper to just buy a shipment of new bottles - than to send a 40-foot container of broken glass bottles to have recycled [:(]
No, am not proud of that system.
But freight between Greenland-Denmark and back again.. is a bit expencive, more expencive that broken glass would bring in. [:(]
Actually some people collect the "best" of the bottles in a bag or something - then they try and often succeed getting money for the bottles in the Bottle-return system which is a bunch of machines all over town that take whole cases and single bottles.
The machines that collect the bottles for re-use - doesn't check the bottles quality - that is done at the "brewery".
Each bottle is worth about 30cent ($US).
But whenever I see a broken glass bottle at the scrapyard - it's likely to end it's life on the line of targets.
Still not proud of the system - but I might as well get some fun out of breaking bottles with no neck or bottom, before they're burried in and around the iron scrap-metal.

I love shooting a Coke can to shreds. A styrofoam block 2x2" or a 2x4 about 4" long is good for water. But latley just been tearing up paper targets at local range, which gets boring after a while.

Dad wouldn't allow it. Said too big a target makes ya sloppy. Seriously, had me shoot at 22 hulls but didn't care about distance. Main point was you had to focus on the small target which would improve your aim.
Not that I'm a X-ring shooter all the time, but do think it was a wise practice habit.
woodsrunner mentioned charcoal briquets, haven't used those but sounds like a good target.

Clay pigeons are nice and visible and gives multiplying targets!
Keep shooting and coming up with new ideas.[:D]

I can make the bull any size I want depending on what I'm shooting and at what range.
The unbroken white background makes it easy to see hits outside the bullseye, and there are usually plenty of those.
Do you have any idea where your shot goes when you miss one of those nuts? Good grief guys, get youre head out.
Sorry Chuck, had to take care of that first.
I shoot a lot of map tacks. I stand them up in the edge of a cardboard box and tick them off. The bright colors make them reasonable with open sights out to about 35 yards, with a 4X scope, out to about 70 yards. Have fun.
Clouder..
If you are just using .22 rimfire, it helps to fill them with that expandable foam stuff.
They work great for the .223 or larger, the M1 sends them up and over the berm sometimes.
Painting the charcoal orange works real good too.
Or just take out some clay birds.
A friend built a stand out of wood, that holds a bunch of mini clay birds. Works great.
They make a .22 target that has 4 flappers hanging, and one on top to reset the 4.

Don't shoot glass or anything generally I can get money for!![:D]
Yes I have shot the exploding targets and they are a hoot! The stick on ones work fine, but the one's you mix{TANNERITE} have to be shot with a high velocity rifle cartridge, 22 won't set them off!
