A set of Daisy Shatterblast targets made into my younger son's Esater basket yesterday. In the afternoon, we tried them out with my trust Red Ryder (the one my dad bought me in 1982). These things are fun. They are clay target, around 2" in diameter.
If you hit them dead center, they'll shatter and fly apart very satisfyingly, throwing pieces up to around a foot into the air and 5 feet behind the target. If you hit an edge, it will chip off and you can try for a more centered hit. The disposable nature of them may put people off, but it costs between $6 and $7 for a refill box of 60, and that's actually a lot of shooting. You can put the larger pieces back into the holder and try to hit them again, so I'd estimate you can get about 75 to 90 hits out of a box of 60, reusing the larger pieces (though we only did about a dozen yesterday).
My son and I felt some irrational hubris and were trying to his them from 50+ feet (both sitting and "Creedmoor")...which with the Red Ryder's lack of rifling is optimistic, but we were doing pretty well closer to 25-30 feet which is more rational for a smooth bore.
We're going to see what we can do at distance with our rifled pellet guns on another day. My older son wants to use his bolt action .22 rifle with shorts on them. We'll see.
