OK I am guilty of shooting things just to see what happens. ex. Jugs of water. colas (sams choice) Cans of Tomato paste. Bags of flour etc.. I once I shot 10 1 gallon jugs in a neat row with an Armalite AR 50. It was cool Luckily I had enough paper targets to replace all that got soaked. I was at a Forest service range where several hunters were getting ready for deer season.

I guess I will be slaying paint balls this weekend. I get tired of looking for the golf balls. My son droped a can of chrome spray paint and broke the spray tip off. It made a real mess.
 
ORANGES!!! 25yards for pistol and 100 yards for rifle. No mess to clean up, Squarrels and other critters eat it all.
 
60mm? or 60 cal. I know very little about paintballs but I do have an old tipman 98 paintball gun and some paint balls that have been lying around here forever.
 
Cheap "dollar-store" charcoal barbeque bricklets, make a nice puff of smoke when hit hit with a 22 rimfire, rain desolves them...so there is no clean-up, and kids love the puff they give off......makes them aim better.....also nice when hit with a 220 swift @ 200 yds
 
I am getting my shopping list together.

1. case of Sams choice cola
2. some oranges and couple apples.
3. Bag of charcoal (I like things that poof)

4. already have paint balls( maybe I cold hot glue some to the charcoal.(POOF) with a splash of color.
5.?????

The list is still short.
 
Necco Wafer candies.
Take a scrap of 2X4.
Run it lengthwise through a tablesaw to create a shallow groove about 1/4 inch from the edge.
Now, set the Neccos in the groove, a few inches apart. A dab of contact cement will keep them from falling over if you hit the board.
You can also glue Necco wafers to construction paper, plywood, heavy cardboard, etc.
These shatter nicely when hit.
They're gone in a week or so, the rain or dew melts them.
 
Mine are pretty boring compared to those listed.Paper plates from the dollar store(200 for $200)and a black dot in the center from a magic marker.I am usually messing with my sights so I like to see where I am hiting...Mike

6. Paper plates. (I am almost out thanks for the reminder.) Charcoal and wafers could be hard to hit if you don't check your sights.
 
There is a truss plant near me that gives away their scrap for your stove or fireplace. Part of it is glue lams ends that are about 8 inches on a side. I like to reduce them to splinters with one cylinder. Each shot makes smaller and smaller pieces.

I'm better with a 14 round clip in a 10mm.
