Welcome! My favorite target type is flesh and bone.

For close up I like the small NRA B8 targets on cardboard backers so I can do Kyle DeFoors 25 yard pistol test 3 drill and also his 100 yard carbine test 3 drill. The paper targets are cheap and the cardboard backers last all day.

For long range I like AR500 steel circular targets with varying diameters to maintain 2 MOA. 10" plates are my biggest so after 500 yards I just hang my AR500 steel silhouettes and some other big steel plates that are mild steel. Steel lasts forever if you know how to use the ammo, distance, and metal hardness combinations correctly.

Shoot-N-See paper. Most of my shooting is .30 - .70 cal at 50 yards, or less, so I don't need a spotting scope.

I like shooting all the left over clay bird bits and spent shell casings at the local gravel pit / shooting area.
Also the odd colored rock or flower head.

Welcome to forum.

Edit to add...
Why did I pick those targets...?
They are free...and it is lots of fun to shoot at ...and hit those small targets ...especially when someone says :
'You can't hit anything with those old rifles...."

I don't often agree with Andy54Hawkin but in this case I do. I enjoy clay pigeon's at 50 to 75 yards and then busting the pieces to pieces! I use .223, 762, all the older Winchester cartridges and others. It's a blast. Too bad clay's have doubled in price over the last 5 years.

Good shooting!

Diet Pepsi. Disgusting beverage but makes such a satisfying splatter. Yes I recycle the metal.

Municipal water tower at the end of town? Just kidding.

Actually, I save empty cereal boxes, cut them in halves, and spray paint a circle on the blank back. Really. Another member at my range does the same thing, we came up with the idea independently. His favorite brand (also really), Frosted Mini-wheats. I'm not sure I understand why that would relate to using the box as a target, though.

I also have some fancy paper NRA targets that I like to use when shooting 100 yards.

"Reactive" targets of any kind at the pit are fine. But just the same, I always set up a paper target in case the state ranger happens to drive by.

Its not my fault you cant hunt in the thick brush.....it takes talent to kill blacktail consistently! Any maroon can kill mule deer

I have a confession to make.......ive never killed a mule deer! Keep that to yourself please, I dont want people making funny of me
