Before your next hunting trip, make sure to put in some time at the range shooting targets. Shooting is a skill that needs to be developed and maintained. What better way to get your aim on target than to spend a day at the range? We have paper targets from top brands such as Champion Targets, Birchwood Casey, and Do All Outdoors. However, shooting stationary targets is only one way to practice. You'll want to aim at a moving object as well. OpticsPlanet also carries clay target shooters that will give you more practice when you are out pheasant hunting. For variety and repeatability, a reset target is a fantastic choice. Whether you're looking for handgun or rifle targets, we have what you need.

What Type of Targets Are There?
Non-Reactive Targets
Paper Targets
Single-use shooting targets with a pattern for bullseye shooting may be made from paperboard/cardboard, corrugated board, or fiberboard. These paper shooting targets are mounted on a rack, a hanger, a wire, or a backboard during use.
Foam Targets
Usually cubic, made from high-density Styrofoam, foam rubber, or laminated corriboard, and primarily used for archery practice.
3D Targets
Usually an animal-shaped target, commonly made from plastic/fiberglass, corkwood, or high-density Styrofoam/foam rubber. More frequently placed in a shooting range or field for 3D archery.
Reactive Targets
Designed to produce a visible or audible response when hit, usually by generating a sharp sound or by moving and/or bouncing along the ground. They are used for silhouette shooting and plinking.
Splatter Targets
Dual-lamination paper targets with an overlayer of dark-colored background and light or fluorescent-colored underlayer separated by a plastic film. When hit by the bullet, the plastic film around the impact hole edge shrivels to expose the brighter underlayer, creating around the hole a high-contrast jagged rim that looks like splattered paint and allows easier observation from a distance.
Gong Targets
When shot, the targets make loud, sharp sounds that are audible from a distance and (sometimes) movements when hit. Popular in action shooting, metallic silhouette, long-range shooting, and various field target/field shooting disciplines.
Bouncing Targets
Freely moving targets that are made from a type of "self-healing" elastomer material, which rolls/flips and bounces along the ground when shot with a bullet. Commonly used in quick-firing plinking exercises with semi-automatic firearms and airguns, as the rolling/bouncing movements are often unpredictable and helpful in training for rapid aim re-establishment for follow-up shots.
Explosive Targets
Are containers loaded with binary explosives such as Tannerite detonate and release a small brief fireball when punctured by a bullet traveling with sufficient terminal energy. The dye powder produces a puff of colored smoke to enhance the visual effect. Flammable gas (e.g., propane/butane) bottles make a visible jet of flame when shot, and can sometimes be used. Still, these carry a significant fire safety risk. Before using exploding targets, follow state, local, and manufacturer guidelines before setting up.
