Reactive splatter targets

I’m running dangerously low on targets, time to reorder. I really like the reactive type targets but they cost quite a bit more than standard paper targets. I think I’ll do what I always do order an equal amount of each. What are the full30

I like the shoot n see targets, but you are correct, they’re pricey! That’s why I usually use white paper or Styrofoam plates. I have seen some DIY vids on how to make your own splatter targets cheaply, but sometimes I fall under the lazy bastard category & haven’t tried it yet.

I use a variety of targets. Shapes, styles, sizes - all vary.

Not sure which is better to do, but that is what I do.

For what ever the reason, my dad used to buy the white pizza boxes from local pizzeria & cut them to his liking. He did some strange shit sometimes! Lol

This, im a cheap lazy bastard too. When I show a new shooter how to shoot I use splatter targets …or pop bottles full of water if im feeling cheap.

Splatter targets are great. Saves a lot of time walking back and forth. It really depends on what kind of shooting you are doing and if you have high power optics or a good spotting scope
I personally use scrap paper and cardboard for precision targets. Either shoot the cold bore and work off of using that impact hole as your POI, use a sharpie, poke holes in it with a screwdriver, or use 3 ring binder/yard sale stickers. The stickers are 99 cents or less and you hundreds of targets.

We use mostly dirty bird or shoot n c. Once we get our country property it’ll be steel mostly.

Cheap targets, by the 100’s on Amazon
A good spotting scope.

Outside I use steel, if I’m shooting for groups I use paper plates. The wax film on the paper plate helps prevent them from tearing. In doors I just use shoot-n-see targets.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the best reactive targets that would splatter now are the protesters.

When I want to use a target, I buy the 8" Caldwell orange peel in bulk on Amazon. Last time it was about 33-cents each. I just don’t think I have the time and patience to engage in the arts and crafts necessary to make my own. That’s less time spent shooting. :frowning:

Most times I shoot old boxes and plastic water bottles full of water. I have a natural waterway in my backyard so the water to fill them is free. I’m sure the guy who picks up my recycling knows what’s up.

“Sometimes”? :thinking:
