I suggest you draw a bullseye. If you want to get really good shoot first and then put the bullseye where you shot.  | |

Paper targets, golf balls, tennis balls... the ideas could go on quite awhile.

Not surprised so many people said spinners. They are my favorite, I also really like my "walking" target. When it's hit it changes position, lots of fun and because it moves feels like more variety.

A lot of good suggestions. One thing I don't shoot is glass. I pick up all my garbage after I shoot both at the club and on private property. I like to shoot food; square saltine crackers, round toll house crackers, cookies, pretzels, fruits. I don't pick up the remains of that the critters will do it for me. For moving targets I like paper or Styrofoam cups, empty cartridge boxes, try to keep them moving, alternate shots and keep them moving with a companion. For something a little different I use brightly colored round stickers, an inch or two inches in diameter, at ranges you cannot clearly see the same sized target in a drab color. It is a little strange but your eyes pick out the bright colors easily.

Another cheap target alternative are paper plates with diffent size stickers in the middle for aiming points.
