Currently $6.88/90 at Wal Mart
i sometimes score them for free however.
When I am out in the woods shooting, driving around etc. and see a deposit of fresh clays I stop and look around for 'missed' , unbroken ones.
Scored about 30 or so a couple weeks ago.

Thanks for the info Ed, funny though, 90 ct. why not just an even 100. very doable option though! heck, 90 targets for $7:00. paper targets cost more than that. And with no WOW factor to boot!

Well hard to compare price since clays are a one shot proposition (unless you can see the fragments and shoot at them) and paper targets are going to accept a lot of shots before replacing.
I buy the 3" Birchwood Casey orange target spots at $4.99/40 and print off a 1" target grid and stick the 3" spot in the center to make my paper targets.
Sometimes however I go out with no targets at all since I have an unlimited supply in the form of pine cones all over the forest and can either set them up on logs or just pick them off the ground.
However if you mix some paper target shooting with clays it breaks up the Monotony. Do some dial in on paper then set up some clays at 100 or more yards for some long range shooting. You can always go collect up the missed ones for another time!

.
There are still plenty of small non-beverage plastic bottles exempt from a deposit. Then there are also on the small side 2+ serving size bottles exempt from the deposit, too. Orange juice single serve have the deposit, bigger sizes do not. However all soda bottles have the 10 cent deposit regardless of size.
But then on public land we're only supposed to shoot at things marketed as targets or home made paper targets.
In Oregon however we have a 10 cent deposit on all beverage cans & plastic & glass bottles.

I still occasionally find shot up glass bottles left by mouth breathing low lifes.
This is of course is highly illegal and comes with a fine UP TO $6,250.

Some the Forest Service quarries here are closed to shooting for exactly that reason.

...There's enough idiots where I go already who haul out all kinds of garbage to shoot and leave it on government land. Someday they're going to have enough of that and shut it down.

Junk mail. Free targets! How many of them catalog magazines does it take to stop a bullet?

I think there about 7.00 for 90 at Walmart. But I get extra miles out of mine because some of them dont break all the way so I keep shooting the pieces of them until I cant see orange anymore. Another thing a guy can do is build him a stand out of schedule 40 PVC pipe fro Home Depot. Put eye bolts in it and hang some steel from it. I have one that I hang bowling pins on

Like those clay gizmo's. Hit 'em with a .357 or .45 Colt, then go after the small pieces with a .22 rifle. Much fun!

I can certainly handle that! only about what I'd pay for a box of 100 rounds of .22's.
Thanks Randy and you too Al. I just never priced them.
