And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The problem with those targets is that the front sight highlight on many revolvers is nearly the same color as the target bullseye. Especially true of SW stainless revolvers like the 686
Sounds like you're at an indoor range. If you store these rolled up, some clothespins on the lower corners will keep them hanging flat, but you'll need to check with your range to see if that's kosher. If not, tape or staple a short length of cardboard to the bottom.
A number of years ago, I bought a hundred B 27 targets (which for me amounts to a lifetime supply). They came rolled up in a big box, and I've stored them in that box, in my garage. Every so often I peel off another 5 or so and keep that smaller roll with my range bag.

Staple gunned right onto the cardboard. The biggest problem I have with these targets is that at 45" tall, I have to fold the bottom 4-5" under the bottom of the cardboard and staple it to the back. Your range may have a different setup than mine, so maybe these won't work for you.
They should make one with the pic of the mexican flag waving rioting a$$hole. They'd sell a million.

ReplyDeleteHow do you carry/store these larger targets?

I figured if they were stored rolled up they would have a problem hanging flat..
DeleteI ordered paper towels from Walmart and they shipped them to me in a BIG box.
DeleteUsing a razor knife, I cut the box apart and made a BIG "envelope" out of 2 sheets of the cardboard and some packing tape.
Tape 3 sides of the cardboard and leave the 4th side untaped.
Now I have a BIG cardboard envelope I keep my various sizes of targets inside.
That envelope lays flat on top of my "range locker".
