Any cheap or homemade reactive targets you enjoy?

Alrighty...so I've been in the shooting world practically my whole life and everyone knows, reactive targets are awesome!

Since there's always something new to be learned, I wonder what reactive targets you all enjoy when having a fun day shoot.

Classic cans n jugs, bottles etc...I only recently had some old eggs, decided to drill some shallow 1" holes in a 2x4 and set the eggs in, they're quite fun with a 22!

Got a mannequin thats dying to be a target (hahahah, put intented). Took some bowling pins, and put an eye hook in them, and put them on a threaded rod so they flop over when you hit them.

Hang some bowling pins. They swing when hit and become a moving target.

I'm selectively lazy. I generally want to put up targets once and not have to constantly be replacing em and cleaning up trash, so for me, steel plates.

Match heads, golf balls, small things put on top of golf tees etc. May have had some fun with tanerite in tree bases and such in the past as well

For teaching children to shoot air rifles and .22’s, I’ll use ‘Nilla Wafers as targets. They shatter when hit, and no mess to clean up.

Squirrels work well.

Gonna try some Sonic Boom this weekend. It was fairly cheap. We’ll see what happens.

What in the heck is wrong with you? I'm not gonna let good 'Nilla Wafers' go to waste. Saltines, perhaps, but not the 'Nilla. Dang, man. We're trying to have a civilization here!
