Cherry tomatoes. The wife and I buy them for salads, but we hate them and never use them but once. Haha. Good for something.

Sounds fun but I hate wasting food How about pumpkins, left over from Halloween. what happens to them when you hit them with a 9mm AEA. Probably get them cheap after the holiday

I like that hang it at 50 yards try for the center hole and if it makes noise you know can also paint it so you could see area that you hit

My wife plants a few cherry tomato plants every year in buckets on our deck. At the end of the season when they quit ripening I clip off a "bunch" of green ones and hang that bunch at my pellet trap. 6 or 8 or 10 targets each each and I think the green ones pop much better than the ripe ones. For the price of a pack of seeds you could shoot green maters for months in FL.
Since you hate them your challenge can be to shoot them before they get a chance to ripen and you have to eat them.
Good luck keeping ahead of them where you live.

Willy, I use a soup or beer can hung on a piece of wire and then it can be a moving target.
At 30 yds I like a can for my unscoped guns, mostly pistols, because I can tell when I hit without binoculars or walking to the target. Its a fun challenge because with my eyes the can is just a blur at 30.

While i do love the smack of lead hitting something solid, then the whine when a pellet or slug ricochet off something is still the best.
Of course doing that, you need to have plenty of room CUZ no knowing where the damn thing is landing.
I have tried shooting little apples too, but my .177 slugs just drill them, and so it is more fun to shoot blades of grass or other things that grow in the field.
Up to 50 M it is fairly easy to do pneumatic landscaping as we call it, but you try and cut a blade of grass or similar at 80 M and its a whole other ballgame.
Another favorite is putting a 2-3 feet long 1/2 or so thick very dry branch in the ground, and then cut it down from the top 1/2 inch at the time ( preferably with side branches )
Also in my friends field when he have mowed, there are little yellow flowers, shooting those or the bees / butterflies that land on them, also fun, and as its at random distances you need to figure out your holdover.

These med bottles are great for less powered guns like pistols in the neighborhood of 400 fps.
They have a report like a cowbell.
I hang them on 1/2” fender washers
I start at the bottom and go up or from the top. Never let them settle.

The first thing that caught my attention was the vehicle parked behind the targets. Hopefully it's not there when you're blasting those targets.

I missed it? There's a 48 x36 backstop and woods about the same color as the back stop, with rain falling?
Oh wait?
You're not even talking about my pic (forehead slap). Lol
