I enjoy target shooting with a 22 caliberl rifle. In the past I used 1 liter bottles filled with water for special effects. I would like to add a little more excitement to my target shooting. I  would be interested in having the 1 liter bottle or other target burst with a bang, a cloud of color or anything more interesting then water slowly draining out of a small 22 caliber bullet hole.

They have clay pigeons filled with small amounts of TNT.

What you do is this,Go to the local grocery store.
Get your self some of the cheap store versions of kool-aid.
But some dry ice (not all grocery stores have this, but many doo)
Put your water in the 1 liter bottle, add a little of the store version of the kool-aid to color it.
Add a small piece of dry ice. You will have to play with this; you want enough dry ice to increase the pressure but not bust it by its self.

This way, you have a colorful liquid in a container with high pressure and ready to go boom, and when you shoot it with the 22 caliber rifle, it will "explode" due to the high pressure inside releasing a show of color!

All very cheap and easy, and relatively safe.

how far do you shoot these targets?

I shoot .22 regularly, but i go for the thrill of hitting a floating bleachbottle from 500+ yards. you may say its impossible but if you aim high enough above it you can hit it.(plus its easier over water because you can see where your bullet hit)

I use a unmodified, all original parts Marlin Model60 and i love it
