You could get some Tannerite. There's several folks here who've used it. I have not. I HAVE been told that it has been used out at the Hite Hollow range.

At the Manatee Gun Club east of Bradenton, Fl they sell Tannerite targets. They look like 1 pt. bottles to me.

I remember letting a 'city-kid' of about 12 years of age shoot his new BB gun on our farm, and I had one of those multiple-bullseye smallbore targets with about 12 bullseyes on it. On one of the bottom ones I put one of the styrofoam exploding targets behind the paper target and fastened it there with some masking tape. He was gleefully shooting the targets, and when he was about to go for the 'hot' one, I said 'go ahead and pump it an extra time or two, and see if it hits a little harder...' Of course he was thrilled when the whole target paper shredded in a loud ball of fire!

I remember those. We used to shoot a bunch of them in Nevada when I was stationed out west. One time we carried our 30-30's, 30-06's, and 270's.

I remember getting 10 out of 10 with my Win94.

They were a little over 100yds away and some of them moved really fast.
