| I have this thought that a cool target to shoot might be some kind of ball that could be attached to a string the when you shot the ball it would get pushed to the end of the string and then bounce all over the place waiting to get shot again. The problem is I can't seem to come up with a type ball that is light and small enough that a .177 pellet would cause it to react violently and yet not damage the ball too much. Any ideas? |

Thanks. That does sound like it would work fine but it is a little too expensive for me. |

I've flattened and compressed a soda can and hung it from
a tree limb with string. took dozens of hits.
A hammered soup can works better. |

| You're sure it was the soup can that was hammered? |

Hammered soup cans are fun to shoot when hammered. 
So are rodents for that matter.  |

| What about one of those super high bounce balls. They are small and cheap. I would worry about pellets coming back at you though. |
