I bought 48" fiberglass electric fence posts, and cut them in 12" lengths. Then bought a bag of 12" white balloons from Wally World, blew them up, slid the end over the top of the post, & clipped on a clothes pin to hold.

I actually prefer to use the jugs & balloons, as I feel it mimics a hunting situation better. I range & dial for every shot, back & forth & all around.
