Metal Shooting Targets:
Metal shooting targets are used by professional shooters at shooting ranges. Although metal shooting targets cost more than shooting targets made up of any other material when considering single time purchase, metal targets last longer too and deliver the value of the money paid for them. The quality of a good metal target is not just related to the type of metal being used to make the target. The design and construction of shooting targets also play a critical role. Hence, a good metal target will be the one with a good mix of metals being used, a good engineered design and thought out construction process. Shooting targets come in simple bulls-eye pattern as well but other variations include rifle targets, targets with animal pictures on them, bin laden or Saddam Hussein targets etc. The figures that appear on the targets are used as a motivation or training to teach the shooter how to aim and where to aim.

Glass Shooting Targets:
Glass bottles and other such articles are also used as shooting targets by shooters at ranges etc. Glass shooting targets threat the safety of a person as flying shards of glass can damage a person if it comes in contact with any disposed part of the body. Hence, it is suggested that protective eye wear is used to protect eyes from such damaging materials. Also full sleeves shirts and such small considerations should be taken into account.
Clay Shooting Targets:
Clay shooting targets are typically used in shotgun shooting sports like skeet shooting and trap shooting etc. Clay birds replaced the live birds as shooting targets and later these clay birds were replaced when clay discs took over. That is why the clay discs used in skeet and trap shooting are called clay pigeons. In some formats of shooting sports clay targets shaped like animals are still used.
