I've really enjoyed my little target range in the back yard.  Every part of my target end has gotten a lot of use... the shelf, the hanging, the spinners. Variety, you know.  The re-settable spinners was the last thing and that is a nice and inexpensive little rig that should last a long long time.

I'm a coffee drinker and go through at least one can of coffee a week.  The Wally world 100% Arabica came in a metal can for a long time (now they are a foil covered paperish whatever) and I saved a mess of them and their lids.  The weekly trips to Target and Wally World and Lowe's and Home Depot, etc. also makes a pile of the plastic bags.  So, I made a target out of the metal cans packed full of the plastic bags with the plastic lids facing me. 

This will no doubt stop any pellet I ever shoot at it.  When I shoot up the lids I'll have a steady supply of new ones to replace with.  Target bulls will be printed on adhesive backed paper.

I'll post a final pic when I get it mounted and the bulls attached.

It took me a couple looks to get what you did but that's a great idea.  I'm in the beginning process of making a pellet trap and that gives me some additional options.

Tried them out today.  The lids stay put.  The pellets just kinda slide into the plastic lids with no big holes or cracks, etc.  I'm sure they eventually will with umpteen holes all around but it will be quite awhile.  I shot about 75-80 times at them and doin' alright so far.
