Reactive targets are fun, aren't they?  Punching holes in paper is fine for zeroing in a scope or laser system, but gets a bit boring otherwise.  Targets that fly, explode, disintegrate or, in the case of a certain type of target (a rodent known to carry the hanta virus and bubonic plague infected fleas), become disemboweled with proper shot placement. :-)

Remember the "good old days" when you got an AOL or CompuServe CD in almost everything?  Those worked good also...
