- How to build a Resetting Can Target
If you like to shoot any type of gun at a target, then you need to watch this video.
In this video I show you how to make the Best Can Target Ever. It is a target that can be shot and repositioned without moving from your shooting position.
It is cheap and easy to make. In fact, I made this with some stuff from my garage and you can too. So what are you waiting for, go have fun. Now you have a homemade target for you homemade weapons.

Too much effort. Just hang the cans underneath the board.
brilliant
Jeff Nordengren also as the cans are hung, they're free to move making them abit harder to shoot. good hunting practice as rats and rabbits dont stand still.
I use metal coat hanger wires that I make hooks out of . I have a shooting frame I made out of old scrap 2x4s . The cans don't fall off.
That's what I thought he was gonna do lol
Put heat rocks in the bottom
hang a fishing weight to the bottom, light enough to drop off when it got shot, and heavy enough to pull the can right back to its original position.
I was just thinking the same thing.
I would like to see if that actually works but I am still thinking the same as other comments suggested and just hang the cans from the string for swinging targets.
I was thinking that when the video started. I thought he was going to tie weights to the other end. You could just hang them but I like having them stacked on a shelf.
Man I love your idea nice one 👍 👌 👏
It's nice to have a stationary target vs. just hanging the can from a string sometimes, but watching this made me think that if you attached some sort of a small weighted object (something that won't defect the bullet back at you) to a piece of string that hung a foot or two below the can, when the can is blasted off the board, the weighted object should almost "pull" the can back up and into its "reset" position, which would remove the need to have the long "reset" string or rope. Just an idea.
exactly what i thought he was going to do lol
To take it to the next level, attach the end of all 5 cords to a stick/spare broomstick.
Then you can reset all the targets at once, and you won't have to hunt around on the floor for the end of the string.
Great idea, people don't understand that knocking down the cans brings a different level of satisfaction. It's just not the same if the cans are hanging.
seen this video a few years back, it works great even at 50 yards, i added another washer under board to limit the fall to one foot so you can pull it up easier
***** Great idea on the second washer
Why don't you hang a weight from the string under the board so when it reacts to being shot the weight pulls it back into position.
I hear ya bud, that's ignorant to walk 100yards unravelling string the whole way. Very stupid vid.
that's what I was thinking but have the weight be another can
Hmm, weight on the other end of the string. Why not just fill the can with sand? It won't fly off the board any harder. I think his point was to be able to shoot the can off and be able to reset it quickly. I was thinking it might be good to dangle the can from a string, but then I thought about the effect wind might have on it. That would make hitting it more of a challenge.
I have to admit that I got the idea from somewhere else, but I modified it a little to make it my own. Thank you.
Usually I just impale soda cans on large nails I have on my split rail fence posts. But this was really creative.
Thank you for the info, those are some great ideas. Next time I use it, I might use a some of those ideas, thanks
Thank you, that is what I was shooting for.
Wow, thank you. I think that is the first video I have had favorited.
You are so correct. And great idea for a slingshot. Thank you
Put weights on the strings and they will pop right back up after you knock one down . A little physics to calulate. Genius!!! Im glad i kept looking at these vids for ideas.
what a simple and good target!
Neat idea. I love stuff like this.
Thanks,

Amazing, my whole life I asked myself how can I shoot a can without always putting it up after each shot. Now I know, thank you so much😘
....and all this time You could have hired YOUR very own Can-Resetter!
Sweet, I would love to see you using it in a video. Thank you for watching
Pretty neat. I just attach my cans to 8" springs than attach it to a board or place over a peg in the ground. Thing moves around like crazy and after a few seconds it stops.
Thank you and good luck
Awesome idea
Very cool ! and the cost is perfect
That is a very good idea and will have to do that in the future.
WOW really clever, great idea.
great idea
I LOVE IT GREAT JOB SHARING THIS ONE
Thanks for the idea!!
smart thinking, this would be perfect for a target up a hill, definitely going to use this.
Another great easy idea! 2 thumbs up man. Making a target is like decorating your home, you can do it however or with whatever. I screwed lids to a 2x4 and screw the bottles into the lids . I use jars too but all the glass is a mess.
Damm brother good idea.
My son and I are loving it.
Nice simple idea, many thanks.
Thank you
Another method we use at our club range is very simple just a 3-4 foot metal spike stuck in the ground with the can placed over it , the can makes a good clatter as well there when hit.
Awesome!
Very true, it is a great target for kids learning to shoot.
Super simple. Super cool!
Nice and simple!
If you use a small finishing nail instead of a washer, you'll be able to easily change out the can when it gets ragged from holes. Just tie your cord in the middle of the nail and slide into hole in can. I use a long needle nose pliers to reach the nail when removing it.
COOL
thanks
Thanks really helpful for target practicing for squirrel hunting
Yessir! Genius, pure genius.
Works perfect for my airguns
Find an elastic rope tie it to weights below it.
interesting idea
Nice creation man! Everybody's got their own way of doing things thanks for sharing yours buddy
Tie a big knot or put another washer few inch below the board so it doesn't fall very far and just a little pull it will already set back on top.Try tying all the can's string together so you only have to pull one string and all of the cans will be set.And tie the string that you are going to pull onto something close to your waist level so you don't have to pick it of the ground.
I knew exactly where you were going with this when I saw the hole at the bottom of the can when you first knocked it over
Super great idea. At first I thought to myself, "Why not just screw the cans to the board?" But then I realized that sometimes, if the target doesn't actually move, you might not know which one you hit. Also, actually seeing a target react so prominently to being hit is always more fun. Great for the kids. Would be great for slingshot practice.
Thanks
You can just drop a long bolt at the bottom of the can through the wood in that way the cans will never fall over
barry zome I think he's going for the effect of knocking the can over so you get some shot to target satisfaction.
Cool idea thanks
you must feel so smart. Bravo ;)
very interesting
Great idea. I am going to setup and use this for our young program.
So simple it's stupid. Pure genius.
Thank you for watching
That is a great idea.
That's fluffing awesome!
Thank you
You're very welcome
Thanks for watching
thanks
Great idea, I'm gonna make one.
You have a great idea too. Limiting the fall is a good idea. If you want to do a video just on that extra washer, you can put it as a video response on this video.
Awsome tutorial thanks :)
thank you
I liked this tho I used it on a smaller scale for my 80 lbs cross bow
Neat!
cool this will be great for the kids and their pellet guns at the cottage.
wow that's a great idea.
Great idea and there's a few good mods in the comments, too.
10/10 get this man a award
genius. im gonna do this.
Good one.
Beautiful
Perfect and genius attitude
Mate I'll tell you, you are a bloody genious can't believe I've never thought of this
he he he good idea!
Good idea !
thank you
Very good idea 👍👍👍
Not a bad idea. One could also make hanging targets out of the cans, string, and the board.
Instead of 30 ft of string, just use 2 ft of string with a spring. That way the can is able to wiggle (so you know you hit it), but then it resets automatically.
Phillip Perry That is a very interesting idea.
great wee idea for paintball!
Para Manic Thanks
HEY, PRETTY NEAT IDEA!!! THANKS
thank you
Also been thinking of building a resetting target for my airguns. But I kinda finally came to think that maybe the best target for me is just a few inches big round metal plate hanging from chains inside of a metal box (or this at least for longer distances). The swinging little clinger will surely notify me if I hit it. The box is just for collecting the pellets - for environmental reasons in the long run.
Buut. A multi-target resetting system would of course be nice for-fun action airpistol shooting competitions with friends.. :)
If you shoot co2, save your empty cartridges.
You can poke a hole in a coke bottle lid and insert the spent cartridge for a quick impromptu airgun target. 👍🏻
Cool! You should rig it up with something like a tape measure so it pulls itself back into place.
This is the most awesome video for all of us fat and lazy people.
Xylo Logic LOL
Offensive
theres an even better idea thats stringless...very easy adjustification to this guys method.
Don't forget to obey the soda can hunting laws. There is a fine for removing the tab, too.
+Richard Kelver ~~~yep its getting crazy these days.
There needs to be a law protecting these can's.
Nice one buddy
Pretty clever. I wonder if attaching a weight to the bottom would make it reset itself after the force of the bullet knocks it over. Would be better for longer range plinking.
Bin Ly It would have to be a heavy weight for one of these cans, and the bullet would pass through so fast, I really doubt the can would get enough force to come off the wood.
SpecificLove 2oz fishing sinker?
Ty
That is a good idea, but I feel that the extra "weight" would not allow the can to have much movement. For example, a bb gun would barely knock this can off empty and a high powered rifle would go through the can so fast that you might not see it move. Just a thought. Also I like to see a can fly off when I hit it with a bullet.
ok thanks
Your genius is showing
So creative
Tie a semi-heavy weight to the other end of the string, maybe 2-5 pounds wouldnt know what works best cuz I haven't tried it, but I do know it will automatically pull that can up on its own rather than having to do it by hand. Obviously you would make sure that the weight hanging from the end of the string doesnt touch the ground while the target/can is sitting on the board. This is actually what I thought the video was going to show me when I saw him feed the string through the board.
if you tired a weight to the string after shooting the can would it reset the can after it falls
Very nice video!!!!
+yubidubi thank you
where do you get those cans from? they're perfect
+Matt Waldron They hold canned vegetables
LOL! This reminds me of when people ask where I get bottles for my homebrew beer. "I know here to get beer bottles"... I buy them full of beer.
from a Mexi -CAN.
*FACEPALMS*
Ever try tying a heavier weight to the string and let it hang just above ground level? That way the can will move or fall due to impact from the bullet but immediately reset from the weighted string allowing gravity to pull it back into position for you eliminating the need to pull the string yourself? Never tried it or seen it. Just a thought. Can might get hung up resetting or not move much if weight is too heavy. Sounds like a neat project to try though
Ok i know it is simple but this guy is a genius
thanks for watching
yeah ur welks. i built one today bro thnx for ur mine
Better, you could just hang the cans from the board by the string and let them swing free. The target doesn't need to reset (gravity does the work), and you can also shoot moving targets.
Quick question wouldn't it be easier to just pull it tight and tie it of at the other end so it can't go anywhere unless you cut the string
