When the kids and I used to go out and shoot, they had fun shooting milk jugs filled with water. We also used paint cans filled with water. If hit right, they would cause the lids to go flying up into the air. Sometimes we would shoot clay pigeons with22's and watch them explode. Before anybody gets any ideas, they were just laying up on the hill side. If we were out at one of our favorite places to shoot, they would find shotgun shells that had been already beenshot and put them on the branches of the bushes and see if we could knock them down.

Light bulbs, beer cans, a MoFo's car, heck! I even put one of my best friends polka-dancing back when I used to drink... nothing to be proud about thou...
Mimo.

The list is long, and I'm not sure I want to admit them all. LOL
At 50' I liked shooting at the primer of live 30/30 rounds. The record is 15 for 15 with the 30/30 as shot and target.
It did take some practice.
At 25' setseveral empty 22LR shellsover upright toothpicks, move back to the 25' mark and plink them off using a ruger22LR6'barrel 9shots in the clip, fixed sights.
My funest had to beone of myhome madeprojectile. Goes like this, use and empty 55gal drum (top removed), 50ft extention cord (cut female end off, strip back to allow bare wire [hot and neutral]to be twisted to itself) Get a heavy dudy construction garbage bag and a zip strip. Light a cutting torch and adjust for a clean burn of the gas and air, give it a shot of extra air if the flame is good, snub the tip on the table to put out the flame. do all the torch work as quick as you can so the tip doesn't get to hot!! put the bag into the 55gal drum and form it in there good. You should have lots of extra bag hanging out over the top. put the ele cord into the bag in the drum. take the torch with the gas and air mix flowing without a flame and put it at the top of the drum, wrap the bag tightly around the torch head and be sure to add the extra air at this time. When the bag is full, I mean Full, pull the torch head away and pull the zip strip tight. Now turn the drum up side down. You may need more extention cords at this time so you can get a couple hundred feet away from the projectile. When all is ready, all you have to do is plug in the cord to a wall outlet. Wear earplugs and have your camera ready. Because the drum (if it doesn't explode and blowup) it will shoot several hunderd feet in the air. What's the part that's fun, well, as the idiots we were, we did it at the end of the flight line ar Pease Air Force Base (a SAC Base)while an F1-11 was overhead during his take off. (That would normally be a good time to take a look around to see if all is clear) The cold war was still hotand heavy at that time.Belive it or not, nothing ever became of it. I think that if I did that now I'd be convicted as a terrorist or somethimg. I'm lucky I lived thruogh my 14th year of life. If you choose to duplacate the acetylene and oxogen mixture, you must be awear that the spark from static electricity is enough to ignite. We put a guy up on the roof of a staion wagon and lite on off inside the car (a much smaller one) when it went of the roof bowed up with such force that the guy flue up hit the garage staion ceiling bounced off and hit the floor and broke his leg. That was a tough one to explain at the ER, especially all the black soot.

Coke and beer bottles in a creek right after a rain. The current was swift, for a creek, and I’d throw a bottle upstream, grab my Remington Nylon 66 rifle and start aiming when the bottle was about 50-75 yards away and moving.
The creek had a bend about 150 yards from where I was shooting. Hitting the skinny top half of a moving bottle 100+ yards away with a .22LR is a kick in the arse…and cheap too.
Targets you've shot at for fun
