I bought a new toy a couple of weeks ago at the local Wal Mart. It is a small "pop up" 22lr target.
This little target only cost about $11. It comes with four L shaped rods to anchor it to the ground. The target portion is 9 inches tall and 2.5 inches at the center of the diamond, despite what the box says, and weighs just a couple of pounds.
I was shooting a S&W 15-22 at this target at about 25 yards. The sights on the rifle completely obscured the target. Using a standard .22 with a small ramp or bead and buckhorn type rear sight or especially a red dot or scope optic would allow you to see the reaction to hits much better.
The weight of this little target combined with a light spring allow this target to be folded and tucked into a range or gear bag and carried to your shooting range. The paint does chip but that is because its being shot at, I would chip too. A little rattle can magic will make it shine like new.
IMAO, not a waste of $11.
No, I'd say that's money well spent. I just shoot at an old pot hanging in a tree when I'm shooting 22, but I have some paper targets I tack up on a piece of plywood when I'm trying to really track where my rounds impact.
