    Sand IMHO with a bank for a backstop. Our gun club is like that and works fine.

    Speaker magnets make pretty good gongs. They last seemingly forever with .22's. I had a set once that did pretty well against 9mm and .45 too.

    I made these and have yet to try them. Official NRA size 22 silhouette targets.
    Made from .250", A36 steel, laser cut.

    Half Dog, you have pointed out the drawback to any .22LR target that sits on the ground. Lots of ricochets. If you don't have at least a clear half mile behind your target, better go with something swinging in front of a good berm or trap.

    How about balloons as a fun target?

    Either a large one, or a field of great depth. I have used them with air rifles shooting pellets, and the 'whirr' from a flattened and tumbling ricochet can often be heard trailing off in the distance.
