Went to a public range the other day, on the weekend (I usually avoid weekends, Thursday afternoons are good for avoiding crowds), lots of people shooting. Mostly defensive handgun and various ARs or AKs. I noticed that even among the other shooters who appeared to be shooting hunting rifles, I was the only one shooting at a picture rather than a target. If I'm sighting in a gun, I use a standard-type grid target, but if I'm practicing for hunting season I use life size photos of squirrels in various presentations. In fairness, some of the defensive handgun shooters were using silhouettes, but still not actual pictures of what they'd really be shooting at.
Squirrels are not usually brightly colored geometric shapes with high-contrast backgrounds, and I like to practice with something more like I'll actually be seeing.
What kind of targets do others use?
