Engaging self-standing paper targets using airsoft or similar toy guns is pretty fun, particularly when seeing their dynamic response upon being hit. However, when practicing with real firearms, stability is much more important. To prevent your targets from being carried off by the wind, it is possible to add weight by filling the open back with materials like dirt, rocks, or pebbles, as this provides another means of keeping them standing firm against the wind.

NOTE: It's essential that materials used during shooting practice are safe and won't pose hazards upon impact. Furthermore, always maintain an appropriate distance from targets during practice to both ensure your own safety (and the safety of others) and maintain an ideal shooting practice environment. Obviously, rocks can explode upon impact, so keep your distance and always check your surroundings.
