So you don't have a bunch of money, and you want to do some shooting drills that require some thought... here's your answer:

Get to the Dollar Thrifty store and pick up some foam boards ($1 each - cut them in half) or cardboard boxes if you can find them. Wal-Mart sells yard sticks for $.50 a piece (quick pass on the scroll saw and they're now sharp enough to penetrate Oklahoma's granite-hard clay ground) and then get yourself some double-sided 3M tape and viola - you've got a fine set of Ghetto Super-star targets that you can use at any White-trash WMA range and have yourself a great time.
I've got about $1.20 or less in each target and I just throw them away on my way out of the range (unless someone else is there and wants to continue shooting them).
In all seriousness since I live near Okmulgee's WMA range I spend most of my time shooting out there. I was using the aluminum EZ Baker Pans for a while, but I wanted to improve on that so now we're primarily shooting decision targets made out of cardboard or foam board.
Colors, numbers, shapes (crappy shapes, but still - shapes none the less), and frowny/smiley faces are all a part of the equation. We call out which factors are bad-guys right before each shooting session and go to town.
I think I might be willing to go out and shoot a pistol or carbine match next month (I'm on stupid call this week or I'd try to go out there this weekend).
Been doing moving/shooting, malfunction, reload, proper cover, and occasionally prone drills a lot lately. Even shooting 100rds a week per platform, I'm still not willing to reload yet - its something I need to get going on, but I just don't have the time.
Thinking of heading out to the Okmulgee WMA range in a bit right now as a matter of fact.
