My range and my wife are both pretty cool but I dont think they would let me blow stuff up but that definitely would be fun.

I shoot a lot of steel. I've also got some 3' long 8" HDPE pipe sections that I use for shotgun targets. They last forever and go flying like people do in the movies when you hit 'em. Pistols and rifles go right through them, but shotguns work great.

Fried hard-drives are a good start. Then, I like to shoot all the "junk mail" CDs and DVDs the mailman delivers.

Had a problem possum in the garage once, he made a pretty good target, but the mess was not easy to clean up (arterial shot, blood everywhere).

I once shot the buttons off an old shirt; blasted a CRT monitor, lit up an old refrigerator, drilled some expired phone books, annihilated an empty propane bottle, dispatched a filled water bottle, and blasted plenty of empty cans with everything from .22 LR to .45 Colt.

Clay targets set on a berm make good reactive targets.

Just about anything you have lying around are worth giving a shot.

While still a target, I think its a more interesting version...

Get a bag of used golf balls and make up your own game.

The tactical range at quail creek has some reactive targets that are fun to play with:TARGET-203 - Reactive "Dancing Ball" Bouncing Target Orange Self-Healing Target Do All Outdoors

Why not sign up for some competitions? Do some 3 gun matches or other events.

For some reason the person I bought my house from left a crap load of empty paint cans. I've been using them for targets. They bounce around a little with most bullets, but they really take off when you shoot them with birdshot.

Some ranges will allow you to set clay pigeons on their berm. When I goto the range I do that. Lots of fun.

I make holders for clays out of old plywood pieces, use dowels to hold them in the ground. If you use 3/4" plywood to "cradle" the clays, you can drill the bottoms for the dowel, an' hold the clays with some light plywood you tack onto the cradles. Folks LOVE to shoot 'em like that...

Ice can be made to several shapes/thicknesses easily and requires no cleanup.

I am having 2 junk cars drug out to our range next week along with a dozen windshields. Putting manaquins (sp?) behind the wheel...we are going do some training which will be alot more fun than the standard paper target stuff. If I remember I will take some pics.

Civilians allowed on your range during non-training hours?
