Hi vis target idea

[peterk123]

Don't know if any of you do this. And not sure why I did not think of this before. But I have started to cut up the non shot up parts. I will use them to repair other targets. Kills me to throw these away because I run out of the dots they provide.

dgrant will be along shortly to admonish you as a skinflint for not buying more new targets.

It is the ultimate skin flint move.

Improvise, adapt and overcome.

I cut scrap cardboard from work to the size of the target stands at the club, attach them with the same 4 jumbo document clips Ive been using forever (also from work) and then make a dot with the club's spray paint.

 

[Glockster30]

I make targets copying them on my work copier machine.

Can we make this a skinflint sticky thread?

I can't really call it flinting if it doesn't take him that long to salvage the targets. That's not really what i would call "skinflint expensive" this isn't a maneuver that's going to deliver a shit sandwich later, either.

ETA: even I use paper plates with cheap dots stuck in the middle.

Not really. @Marty McFly is the skinflint King because he invented the Cumberland Farms cream hack.

 

[Sweeney]

How do you get holes in them in the first place?

I started filling the large iced cups. Way more and they don't care.

I keep a roll of white paper in the truck and make bullseyes out of black felt paper. If you don't feel like walking down to look, hang a piece of steel. If you want it to be more visible, paint it white then fluorescent orange.

 

[Marty McFly]

I just shoot the paper of the guy on the next lane. I've been hanging the same target for 12 years

 

[Broc]

My targets have been reduced to printer paper + 1" orange circles that I can buy for like $2/100 or whatever they cost. I keep a stack of printer paper in my car.

Bullets at long range sometimes show better on white paper than high visibility targets.

 

[whacko]

A 100 pack of bullseye targets is $16. Jesus christ some of you guys are cheep.

A lot of gun shops don't sell bulk packs of shoot n sees, etc. Many shops only carry the rape skus which are a horrible value. (Its like 25 for 8 bucks or something)

Plus in a lot of cases.... is it really any better than a market basket low grade paper plate with a dot stuck in the middle? Probably not.

We discussed doing that to a real dickhead in a match one night. He was so freaking mad but there was nothing he could do about it. We were dying laughing on putting an extra bullet in the magazine then did it. He thought he was the best shooter for miles around. He insulted a very good friend who proved him wrong.

I repeated it to a guy many years later who earned his extra hole. No way to prove it on a firing line. He wasn’t such an ass after that. Im rather sure he knew I did it.

Hey, that’s @drgrant s line!!

Yeah, but I tear open the packag, staple a few up, and then the rest of them blow off into the woods somewhere!!!

 

[Asaltweapon]

I transport my paper targets in a portable puzzle holder. Always flat and easy to grab.

WTF is a portable puzzle holder?

 

[chris_1001]

I save the dots like the op. Cut them off and have them in a zip lock bag

@Broc just cuts a one inch hole in the printer paper, then shoots it at 300 yards. If he shoots outside of the hole, he’ll replace the paper.

Sniper cool

It’s a flat panel with a hinged overlapping cover held in place with Velcro like a lock on a diary. They come in a few sizes. It’s for puzzle freaks who have limited room for a complex build taking up real estate or whatever the hell puzzle people do.

I knew someone who owned a store that gave them out as gifts. When she passed there was a few hitting the trash and I said to myself “Hey”. How convenient could this be.
My wife used one that was given as a gift for years in order to keep our house neat. We have very little clutter as it drives me crazy.

If I think of it I’ll take a pic. It’s out in the garage and I’m lazy right now.

He parted the sea.
I could also fight with a staple gun, a shot to shit holder and a rolled up target looking like the 10 Commandments.
WWJD?

 

[gerrycaruso]

Making my own bullseyes has nothing to do with cost. I sometimes buy targets but if I make them, I can size the bullseye for handgun or rifle. With or without optics. From several yards to several hundred yards.

No, dumpster diving for partially used hi viz targets is the ultimate skin flint.
