#1 - The trampoline. Some consider it unsafe do to the rebound factor. Personally, I enjoy being able to hit 4 to 10 targets with one shot. Although some items may not react well to being hit with a BB (example: large animals with fangs) they cannot hold a permanant grudge against you knowing it was not your original intention to do them harm.

#2 - Datsun pickups. While this can take some paint off, cause rust and eventually make the said vehicle look like it was attacked by a number of rabid ticks, the rewarding *PLINK* sound you achieve when firing upon this target is rewarding enough to make up for it.

#3 - Light bulbs. Some have suggeted taking the said target out of the lamp before practicing on it, but I prefer to leave it in for a number of reasons. For one thing, the miniature but very distinct explosion the said target creates when left in it's socket is very good stress relief. If the explosion does not relieve your stress, attempting to take the exploded target out of it's position in the lamp certainly will.

#4 - Tires. I appreciate this target mostly for practicality's sake. Some say it is best to take the tire off of your vehicle before firing upon it, but this is entirely up to you. I prefer to leave it on, mostly so that I don't have to take it off and put it back on again. The most rewarding aspect of this target is the money it saves you. Studded tires are known to cost substantial amounts of cash, this target is not only fun to shoot at, but it is the best way I've found to manually stud tires.

(WARNING concerning above target recommendation) I once knew a kind hearted man who succeeded in doing the people driving down his road the favor of partially studding their tires... may he rest in peace... Do to the events that followed his kind actions, this meritable gesture is not recommended.

#5 - Last, but not least, bicycle helmets. To many, this target is considered unsafe. I however say it all depends on the shooter's accuracy, and the solidity of the helmet. It has been suggested that the wearer of the helmet wear glasses, this is completely up to them. To get some very challenging target practice, you may have the wearer ride his/her bike around and around or in a zig-zag pattern. It is difficult to entice the helmet wearer to do this however. They, once it is established that your target is in fact the helmet (also a difficult task), are generally of the impression that they need to make it as easy as possible for you to hit the said target.

(WARNING considering above taget recommendation) I have found that your common bicyclist does not appreciate the use of their personal helmet as a target when you fail to tell them you are going to use their personal helmet as a target. They may not even appreciate it if you do tell them that you are going to use their personal helmet as a target. Though unreasonable with such matters, I have found that bicyclists can be much stronger than they look when sufficiently enraged. Caution is advised.

As when shooting at any target, be safe, and never shoot at vengeful objects.
