Ah, the 2x4s is a great idea! I can't shoot a pistol in my current neighborhood, but I was planning to start with clapping, then clanging pots and pans, and I'll also incorporate the 2x4s. Thanks!

A couple of 2x4s works surprisingly well. I had a couple attached with a hinge and with a ½" dowel in the end of one for a handle. Just give it a whip-flick motion and it gives an excellent crack
