Steel
A target made from high-quality, heat-treated steel should have a Brinell Hardness Number of 500. BHR refers to the hardness of metals. Steel that is properly tempered will be strong enough to shred bullets. The BHR measures how hard a material is, and its impact resistance. So, a properly-hardened steel target should withstand repeated impacts from a bullet.
Paper
Target shooting can be done with many types of paper targets. Paper targets come in many sizes and shapes. A double-sided paper target shows a man holding a handgun, and his cell phone. Double-sided targets are great for shooting-and-no shoot drills. They force trainees to assess the threat level of those holding the guns. Another type of target is a foam target, which is made of high-density styrofoam or a composite material such as corriboard. Foam targets are used often for archery.
Bouncing targets

Laser Tag competitions
The game is based on movement and targeting. Players need to move quickly in order to avoid being noticed by opponents. While a safe hiding spot may seem like a great idea, this tactic is not a good idea. Instead, players should employ tactical movements to avoid being observed. Players should not move too fast, but only in short bursts. Players should also crawl, if at all possible. This helps to prevent players from being tagged or seen.
