The better half and I shot a lot of pellets. We have a small yard and can only get 10m. She got tired of shooting paper.
So she comes out with a small box just taller than the bottom of our trap with Q-tips and some plastic straws sticking up.
She then sticks beans in the end of the straws.
The beans explode when you hit them. Kind of cool.
But the Q-tips if you hit them just right they explode like popcorn. It’s cheap and quick to set up. (the dollar store is a great target store)
She said we’re doing corn tomorrow. LOL

Creative. Anything that explodes is cool in my book. lol
I bought a bag of 100 "assorted eyes" - white plasic bubbles w/black free-floating pupil inside - of various sizes, most pretty darn small.
My boys liked them - but I know they will like the exploding beans/etc even more.

Lowes/HomeDepot sells a 1.5" x 1.5" piece of lumber that looks like a skinny 2x4. I cut the 1.5x1.5 into cubes and shoot them. They practically explode because they are pretty soft pine.

Lollipop is cool target but paintball marker is even cooler when hit.

I would love to shoot paint balls but they would mess up my trap. Living in SoCal. everything thing need to hit the trap.

Paint balls can be fun, but can be real messy.
I shot some in my yard off of golf tees at 60ft, and the paints flies 25-30 ft in all directions.
So I cut 2 sides out of along skinny box and put it over the paints balls to catch the spray.
It worked pretty good.
