I'm starting to get all kinds of ideas now! I need to try paper bags and balloons.

Last weekend, I took a bunch of cardboard juice cartons (the kind milk and OJ come in), filled with water and froze them. It allowed them to be reused a couple of times with birdshot, although buckshot and slugs pretty much did them in for good.

I also put some old AOL cdroms on the branches of bushes and popped them off.

I watched a program on the History Channel about Firing Ranges and live fire excercises. One range was hanging a balloon down from a string(just air, no helium) and slipping a cardboard box over it so that the box was hanging on the balloon. The box was generally shaped like a man and they even put a t-shirt over it to hide where exactly the balloon was in the box. When you hit the balloon, the box fell simulating an incapacitated bad guy. They even ran this thing down a cable towards the shooter to simulate an attacher. It looked like pretty interesting practice and something that could be made cheeply.
