I shoot a lot of targets at 30-40-and 50 yards, Depends on the wind, (west Texas) I also shoot a lot of little dime size caps as pictured, The little red caps come off insulin syringes,
I will also pick up old brass and shoot, Them things zing sometimes, Little plastic Amy men from the dollar store, 100 come in a bag cheap,, Any kind of pill bottle filled with water, sand, cloth, just about anything, Used shot gun shells, shoot them at the very top and I have had them fly 30 feet in the air, I give up shooting marbles to much glass on the ground
anything the wife is about to toss and is hard plastic that I can stick a target on, Trained the wife to ask you want this to shoot, LOL. Old keys hung on a old 2x4 make crazy bends
I can't shoot any candy or cereal on my target range , My horse goes crazy and destroys my shooting range , Tacks are fun but a problem with them on the ground, Any nut , NO NO not you!!! The little texas round pecan that is not worth cracking to eat is a blast , They explode, seem the birds get them before the horse ,
My 50 yard backstop is railroad ties its the best, 40 yards is thin metal 3x4 with rubber mat and cardboard clipped on for paper targets to stick to, I replace cardboard often ,
30 yards are three big 4 foot x 2 food homemade bird, squirrel , and varmint feeders , With 50 LBS of grain put out 24/7 to feed my pet squirrels song birds and the pest that I shoot.
I could post pictures of all this crap,. oops I mean good stuff , If you really want to see it,, I should have titled this 20 years of air gun shooting , Its more like 48 years but 20 years hard core in the sport and all that stuff,,,,LOL

I possess paper and steel targets ranging from 75 to 230 yards. There are two paper targets: one stationary for zeroing at 100 yards, and another that is mobile. Additionally, I have ten steel targets varying in size from 2 inches to 10 inches, correlating with their distance.

I shoot tree rats with my .22 pcps, and the occasional copper head and rattlesnake with whatever I have on me, usually my walther, can't let those slither around. The .25 is now my designated trash panda and fox smoker. I never shoot further than 40 yards. I gotta start using my Benjamin Franklin 22 and some of my break barrels again, even if it is just for my paper targets.
 
Everything else has been mentioned, so being as I retired last week I went out and shot my alarm clock.
Oh Scriv my friend, you will find within a few weeks, or a month, retirement sucks big Harry ones. You miss your work life, if not your job itself. It's been 19 yeahs now for me, and it just slowly kills the soul. I would advise get you several different hobbies, for when you stuck inside the house.

This would be my second retirement. Right now I only have airguns, powder burners, reloading, bullet casting, archery, arrow crafting, string making, golf, pickleball, motorcycle riding, paddling, fishing, bass playing, and bicycling to keep me busy. So, I should get some more hobbies you say? Ok, I'm in. What's next?

Well my friend, sounds like you a set! You.married or single. That's the only potential other hobby I see left out.
