Making your own Ballistic gel targets.

[Kirk]

I am sure everyone has seen Mythbusters and several of the gun shows using ballistic gel to test the shock and awe of a projectile. Buying the commercial grade "FBI" ballistic clear gel is very expensive ranging from $130 to $700 per target. (depending on what you buy.) https://www.clearballistics.com/store/

Why not make your own using commonly available kitchen ingredients. For a few bucks and some patience you can produce your own Ballistic gel targets.

Amazon has the bulk cans of Gelatin a lot cheaper than the grocery stores.
