More than 100 targets are available to choose from at the Los Angeles Gun Club, from minimalist human forms to cartoonish bad guys. In LA Gun Club, a photographic series that documents shooting range targets - now on show at New York's Palo Gallery - British photographer Jane Hilton adds to her 25 years of studies documenting the shadier areas of Americana. The shot-up targets and accompanying text detailing each shooter's firearm, profession and motivation represent a cross-section of the Californian gun-owning community. Shooters include bodyguards, brain surgeons and beauty therapists - some there for a birthday treat, others on a date night. One range master comments: "I own many guns. I just love looking at them."
