What is your favorite target type

A friend and his family set up a "shooting shack" on their acreage. They would buy cheap breakable things from garage sales. When there was too much broken glass and ceramics, they would bring in the dozer and bury it all.

Some future archaeologist will determine that a great battle occurred that wiped out an entire civilization....

BIRCHWOOD CASEY DIRTY BIRD multi-color splattering targets. These work particularly well with shotshells (because you get to see how many of the pellets/shot made it into the bullseye, 1st ring, 2nd ring & outer ring since each zone splatters a different color when hit: green, orange, yellow, pink), but they're also good for rifles & handguns, particularly small .22/.223/.25 caliber rifles & handguns because the tiny .22-.25 caliber holes are much less visible when you shoot a normal target that doesn't splatter.

When I can't find the Dirty Birds, I buy Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C targets, although those only splatter with 1 color all the way around so I prefer the 4 different color zones on the Dirty Bird targets, especially when I'm shooting shotshells at targets as I said.

I like Tannerite. Then I can tell that I hit what I was aiming at.

Birchwood Casey Dirty Bird targets will give you the same effect, but at $0.45/each versus $10+ each for Tannerite blocks.

Of course, sometimes it's worth it to pay the extra $10 for all the cool explosion effects, visuals, noise & theatrics.

I personally love the cans of Santa Snow, they blow up nicely and after Xmas are pretty cheap usually. I dislike that they are only good for one shot. haha

Like the Birchwood-Casey green full size silhouette for edc practice, gives me a life size target to practice on. Otherwise it's the aforementioned Birchwood-Casey Dirty Birds, easy for old eyes to see from a distance.

Range sessions usually end with .22 lr plinking of larger clay pigeon bits, calling each shot as I let it rip.
