There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar, I love not man the less, but Nature more.
If you miss you'll crack some of those tiles!
Form over function has created some pointless articles so never diss functionalneat idea.

As already mentioned extra strong mints explode when hit, I have been using polos for targets as well been trying to get the pellet through the hole but have not managed it yet they also explode, mind you I am using a 5.5mm and the hole in the mint is only just big enough for the pellet to go through and I am shooting over about 25 yards.
Try Tic tacks at 45 yards, also paint balls are good, also the widgets from cans of bitter etc, I like cutting the storks of nettles, depends on gun and shooter capability though. Like the spinning targets you've made mate

If its a difficult target you require,to test your accuratesy,take a 6" sqare or disc of steel,drill a hole (slightly larger than your pellet)fit a bell behind it,n you have one of the old bell targets.Used to be quite a following,in the pubs,many years ago,especialy around Birmingham,Black country,shot over the heads of drinker.More popular than darts.
Or stick a knife blade in a block of wood n practice splitting your pellets on it breaking two targets at once.Or place playing cards edge wise,n cut them in half!
If you want n explosive target,"Party Poppers."clip them to bulldog clips screwed to a board,and when you hit the neck they bang n launch streamers all over your garden!!!lol.

Like the party popper one, they are also ideal to set a security boundary around your camp using mouse traps for intruders if your away off foraging to.Originally Posted by midas
