Other than steel. Me and another Hide member were talking over beers this afternoon after a day shooting at the range planning on a long range shoot about what would be the next best thig to steel but not weigh as much. Steel is obviously the target of choice and several in our group has several steel "little men" that we shoot. But we were trying to figure out if there were other types of reactive targets large enough to shoot out at 1000yds that you could actually carry on foot through the desert and not weigh a ton. Some of the spots we shoot are far enough off the road that you would have to hump a 100 lb steel plate quite a distance to get it out at range.
My 1st thought was to use a jig saw and cut out some man-sized silouettes out of plywood - but the issue is how do you make them reactive so you can see bullet impacts at 800-1000 yds through a spotting scope? How do you make something like that reactive enough to see at that distance? Is there some way to paint it with layers of different color paint to make it like a big "shoot and see"? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
