Targets: HOME MADE.

Any ideas? Here is one some guys use. I get a small strip of duct seal big enough to stick necco candy wafers/discs to a target board. I use an old Outers' 22 rimfire trap for a pellet trap. Save the lead for future adventures.
Use the kids' plastic army men from discount stores. I also have hand made similar targets of duct seal. Not much detail but any imaginable shape should work like silhouettes. Reuse them until you can't. They pick up pellets and detritus from the pellet trap. Some ideas to start. As said elsewhere duct seal to hold necco candy discs works well, shoot the disc, then the pieces, then set them on edge. Please put up your experiences and thoughts. Be Well Brothers, dito.
 
Here's my most recent home made target.

I enjoy taking the wide bore straws from fast food places, cutting them to various lengths. Getting the boxes of everlasting gobstoppers from the dollar store. Basically using the straws as a golf tee for the candies. Also cheap poker chips, chess pieces, and the gnomes that are constantly telling me to start fires.

Soup can strung up on paracord. Poke a hole in the top or side. Tie a knot bigger than the hole to keep the can captive. Very reactive and gets progressively harder as the can takes on damage. Always returns to zero until you shoot it completely off the cord. Steel is good also.

Thanks to the @Moderator3 for fixing the picture issue!
 
This game used to be described in the old Beeman catalogs (circa early 80's). I don't know if Beeman invented the game or not, but it's a lot of fun. Targets are mostly spent .22 casings.
