Besides paper targets.

1. sam's cola, shaken up first.

2. empty cans

I'm not going to allow aerosol cans. What else? Cheap and fun is best.

Watermelons are great fun to shoot.

You can even do a little demonstration about how the anti-gun hysteria is out of whack:

Shoot one watermelon with a semi-automatic assault rifle.

Shoot another watermelon with a 30-06.

Watch the results and ask the boys which does the most damage.

watermelons at $5 a pop, I think I'll pass. Remember I have to pay for all of this.

2-liter pop bottles filled with colored water
Old paint cans

Ok, that is rather expensive.

That's something you can do with your son.

You might be able to find some rotted vegetables at those roadside stands. Squash, zucchini, tomatoes or eggplant would be fun to shoot.

We once shot up a bunch of old, dirt cheap ceramic dishes from a thrift store.

And water balloons. Bomb's away...

Road signs, billboards, airplanes, barns.

The usual stuff.

Boiled eggs. Shoot with hollow points. Nice satisfying "pop" when you hit them. And they explode.

Go to costco and get the five dozen for cheap. Raw would probably work fine too.

Get a big 5 gallon water jug, fill it with water, and shoot in to it... When it gets a hole cover the hole with duct tape.

Depending on the gun, you should be able to pull the bullets out of the bottom when you're done for momentos!
