I usually shoot on the range with a .22 bolt action. I don't hunt or anything, I just enjoy target shooting- Is there any safe (low chance of ricochet) material targets I can take to range and shoot, in case I get bored with plain paper shooting? I know tin can's work, but does anyboy have any ideas on other targets that are fun to shoot up?

Crackers, sugar cubes, paintballs (glue them to a cardboard), grapes, empty shotgun shells, small pieces of wood, lumps of dried clay - the list will only end with your imagination. Good luck.
