What Kind of Shooting Targets Do You Guys Like?

[GunXpatriot]

What types of targets do you guys enjoy shooting?

I'm mostly asking on behalf of my site (located in my signature). Essentially, I want to make the most popular targets readily available and printable from home.

No matter what it is, whether a paper plate with a drawn-on circle, or large commercial targets, I'm curious as to what your favorites are! Thanks for your help, and I'm looking forward to your guys' responses.

Steel.

Moving steel is even better

Steel.

Moving steel is even better

And also expensive, hence having dozens of available targets for easy printing.

That being said... Oh man, I so wish I could have a range like Hickok45's one day. That thing is beautiful. :')

Thanks for your reply, Eddie.

Depends on who is shooting, and what they are shooting.
FBI targets for giggles, grid squares, or the little repair dots if I am shooting for accuracy.
When my boys shoot, we still with a simple 6" or 12" bulls eye.

I order shoot n see stickers from Amazon. Stick on a cardboard background makes most shots pretty easy to see. Old cardboard boxes are free and stickers dont cost much either. You could even stick them to your printed paper targets...

Cool, not a bad method at all! Thanks!

It's kind of weird, like... It feels like so often, that I put a hell of a lot more work into Targets4Free than it's even worth... Google ads ain't even coming close to paying the bills. I'm kind of lamenting the whole thing. That maybe it's all for nothing. When I started out, I wasn't satisfied with a lot of what was available. But when the site has still failed to grow, well... :'(

And it's not that I even started it to make a ton of money or anything. But being able to bring in a bit of revenue from the time it takes to manage it would definitely be nice. I figured I might eventually be able to pull in a decent week's pay each month, which would cover hosting costs, and help me with side money doing what I love. But it just hasn't. It ain't even at 1/10th of that.. And hell, even some of the biggest figures in the pro-gun community still can't get that many regular Patreon contributors.

Random vent, I know. Just sucks when you aren't seeing any fruit for your labor. :/

I do the same but use the dividers for 30 packs of beer. I like the cardboard its made out of and the white face helps to see impacts. Plus the are almost the right size for a human torso.

I shoot a lot of cardboard, but my favorite are water filled plastic milk jugs. Both are recyclable.

I like reactive, like clays (yes, for rifle too). They're more work because you have to replace them, but they're fun, and the kid loves them.

Fill a cereal box with dirt so it will stand up. Aim for the character on the box.

I just picked up some of these. I like the multiple targets so that I don't have to replace them as often. I shoot a different pistol for each target when I go to the range.

Huge fan of random game targets. Makes range day with my wife fun. Shoot only rectangles! Now only yellow! Number 3! Now Multiples of 2!

I use Shoot-N-See's like that too. I want a small, round target for my practice.

Something like NRA B-2 and B-3 targets works too.
