Yeah

I am interested in the environment. Is that a bad thing?

That's really silly. Most gun enthusiast shoot at a range that doesn't allow anything but cardboard targets.
You think youtube is reality? That's really nuts.
You should go back to yacking about something you know something about.
So far, you haven't shown us what that is here.

Harry has a spot out in the woods that he calls a range and he would
rather shoot at trash than buy real targets.

Maybe he should talk to the carpenter's union guys he must know and
get a big bag of 2x4 cutoffs
Those 3" pieces you get when you cut down 2x4s for studs would make
great targets. They might not really explode but a solid hit would
break them up.

All that said, guys who shoot combat courses are shooting at steel
targets. There are many different styles

Actually, we only sometimes shoot at trash, such as empty beer cans. I'm
more likely to shoot at full beer cans because they are smaller targets
than the two liter sodapop bottles and...they are cheaper. I can usually
buy a 24-can case of ****y Miller Lite or Bud Lite for a lot less than
24 plastic two liter bottles of sodapop, or even smaller bottles of
sodapop There is a lot of "social satisfaction" in spilling those awful
beers rather than allowing someone to drink them.

We have some legitimate steel targets out at the range, and we've
increased the size of the firewood backstop that sits out in front of
the 20' high natural mound of Virginia dirt that serves as our true
backstop. We now have shooting positions and movable tables at 25, 50,
and 100 yards out from the backstops, but 100 yards is pretty much the
limit because of the terrain. Naturally, we stop shooting when critters
walk across the range.
