Looking for a target that goes "poof!"

If you're shooting out in the desert, why not buy a steel target?

Sure they're expensive, but the cost evens out after awhile.

Fire extinguishers are a lot of fun. They contain a bunch of powder and "Poof" everytime you hit them. Plus they come in a variety of sizes which helps at farther distances.

Shaving cream cans, or anything you can find @ the $1 go great. Bottles w/ water work fine for me but they tend to get heavy. Balloons work to keep in interesting for my wife.
Metal is also always fun.

I use ground squirrels.

Mmmm, latest hamburger meat?

Imagine being pulled over with a car full of guns and 50 small balloons filled with white powder.

I forsee sitting on the sidewalk for most of the afternoon.

HAHAHA I seriously laughed HARD!!

In the scouts we used to shoot at hot co-co packets, if you want a smaller target you could also shoot at packets of coffee creamer.

Haha reminds me of Johnny Knoxville + baby powder farts in Jackass 2 :P

Balloons or small envelopes filled with flour, baking soda, baby powder, etc should be fairly visible. But I'm leaning more towards small balloons of tannerite just taped to the back of the target... just brings a smile to my face.

Poof? LOL. I shoot reactive targets that explode. Poofing is for legislators and those wierd guys that wear pink.



Buy some Tannerite and go to the desert.

You can make homemade play oh very easily and dye the
Whatever color you want. Shape the
However you like and leave them out for say or so and they'll harden right up. After you shoot them you don't need to clean them up if you are lazy as they are basically bread with food coloring. The first rain will get rid of them (or birds and bugs)

Sorry for the spelling...'stupid iPhone

I tried the talc in a bag. It sort of worked. It gave the smallish little wisp of powder on a hit. My fault, I didn't put enough talc in the baggie.

I think a balloon with talc/powder and blown up would have worked better. That or the homemade play-doh. At least that would have exploded into tiny pieces.

Great idea.... start asking for extra cream and sugar when you are out and save them for the next shoot...

Talked to our bomb squad guys about tannerite and have confirmed it is illegal, same with the district attorneys office stating the same. The compounds are fine separate but once you mix them, you have created an explosive which is a huge no no in this state! Same deal with dry ice or MRE bombs. You guys are playing with fire if using this stuff in CA, already had some people sent to jail for the stuff out here, heres the associated California Penal Code


18720. Every person who possesses any substance, material, or any
combination of substances or materials, with the intent to make any
destructive device or any explosive without first obtaining a valid
permit to make that destructive device or explosive, is guilty of a
felony, and is punishable by imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h)
of Section 1170 for two, three, or four years.
