Here's how I make my splody targets.
Take a one gallon milk jug fill with water and a little red food coloring.
Insert one end of a 3' length piece of kite string into each section of the tray.
Pour the red water into ice cube trays and freeze solid.
Remove from trays when frozen and store in the freezer.
Voila!
Perfect biodegradable hanging targets that will satisfy the red mist shooters and help keep your choice of beverage cold at the same time.

Only real PUTZes shoot glass targets. Be responsible and shoot targets which you can clean up.

Oo cheap sodas sound fun.


its like buying cheap targets that you can drink!

Buy a flat of the cheapest, crappiest soda and then just leave it in the sun for a couple hours.

NOW shoot the stuff. It's quite impressive, easy to clean up, and leaves a little snack for the local wildlife.

that is the best idea i have ever heard. i applaud you, sir.

Fill up your empty cans with water and shoot them, they really fly up in the air that way. Much easier to clean up than glass.

Beer bottles are not good targets, it gives us gunlovers a bad name.

My favorite plinking target is golf balls , A good hit and they will really take off , Be sure to put your best effort in finding them afterwards as I hate to go to place that is trashed , I suggest not shooting glass as it will get left behind.

shooting at glass bottles will generally shatter them. There was this one time when i shot a beer bottle with my gsg5 and it didn't shatter the bottle but the bullet went straight through it.

Had that happen a few times with plastic 16oz water bottles.

Pretty funny to think you missed because it didn't even move, then look again though the scope and see the hole cleanly centered.

A .22 will break a bottle at 300 yards.

If you can hit it that far.

Just clean up after yourself.

golf balls work well too.

Eggs and other food products are biodegradable, but I would still pick up the large pieces.
BLM specifically says NOT to shoot glass. They recommend paper targets, but the idea is to "tread lightly" and "leave no trace"... steel targets are fine.

Whatever you take with you, bring it back. That goes for brass, shot shells, wadding cups, broken clays, broken bottles, etc....
We've got good shooting areas all over the state being shut down all the time because of the litter.

hahahhaha.

eggs look fun, I think I will try that one.


Yeah cans might be the best idea too.
or a milk jug, saw someone on youtube going nuts on an empty milk jug it was flying everywhere

Don't forget to clean up the mess when you're done. I'd rather shoot at cans. You can shoot them again and again and again - and watch them bounce and fly. Shooting glass, meh, one time gratification. Try eggs. Those are fun, and challenging. Hide them like ground squirrels or dye them like Easter Eggs.
