Need a better setup for handling paper targets

[98Z5V]

Coroplast is an AWESOME target backing.  We switched to that for Appleseed shoots.  $hit is awesome. 

 

(corrugated plastic - Google that $hit, guys)

Wife found that at a Jo-Ann fabrics by the house.

99 cent store always comes through with targets.

[Microgunner]

99 cent store always comes through with targets.

How does that work? Do you shoot 'em in the store or wait 'till they walk out?

[Robocop1051]

You have to wait till they leave, otherwise you get cited for "hatchery fishing"... I used to hang at the Salvation Army drop off pile at night, but that's considered "baiting".

^^^^^ <lmoa>

[Boerboel guy]

I use these with some wood stakes shoved down in them. I spaced mine so that the cardboard head and torso targets staple perfectly to the stakes.

That'll work brother.

Next time we're shooting in the desert, I'm bringing an empty 55-gal drum. 

[DNP]

We used boxes from air compressors and what not. 3-4 feet tall. 2x2 feet wide. They worked great. Paste targets to em, shoot em up, then use em like trash cans on the way out. Fill em up with targets and left over cans.

PVC doesn't last, because people shoot the shits out of the PVC.  They won't hit the target, but they can shoot the shits out of the PVC...  <dontknow>

 

Done this exact setup, with DNP, for an AZ shoot.  I think we have video proof...

Here's an idea from the Chinese

 

This poor basturd really should be wearing safety glasses !!!

[Boerboel guy]

He'd be screwed if I tried to practice my world famous dick shot technique.

[DNP]

Ours were pvc all the way around though. Of it was just at ground level it might survive a little longer. Or, if you don't attack it with a slide fire sock and hundred round drums....she stands a much better chance

<thumbsup>​  And ear protection. You ever been it the pits when a supersonic round went over. Ouch!!!  ::)

I buy precut sections of 1" PVC and using elbows, create a framework... then use shower rings with clips attached threaded through the tubes to hold the paper. I bring spares of everything. Cheap, lightweight, & modular with easily replaceable parts. So far we haven't shot it up enough to run out of spares.

Hey! I know that guy... his name is Ho Li, either that or his twin brother, Ho Li Xeet

[unforgiven]

Think it's his cousin Dum azz.

Been pretty prone to taking the left over wood or downfall I gather at work and gluing it up on friday and making some decent 2 foot by 4 foot by 4-8 inches thick planks. They have made good reactive targets when propped up with a 2x4. Use them for run and gun. Sucks setting them up afterwords.

Also used used AC freon tanks when I worked for a dealership in austin. Those where always fun, even the random compressor parts we found too!!

I got a few real estate metal sign frames from my realtor, put in safe place to shoot, attach neighbors cat and have a blast from any safe distance.

When sign metal wears down...list your house.

Merry Christmas...1legdown

Hahahaha !!! Pix!?

We use old politician and for sale signs. Just tape the target to the sign and what's best is they're free right after the election.

[mrmackc]

I use a combo of real estate for sale sign holders and politician signs .If I liked the candidate I'll spray paint the sign. But if I don't like him/her I shoot to kill the O,B and A, letters. I also use some stick on relector strips like go on the back of semi-trailers for the laser boresighters, just dont be lazy and shoot up your refelective strips!

 

On odd years I just use cardboard.

Build a couple of lightweight [easy to carry] uprights and string a wire between them like a clothesline.  Hang the targets on wires from the 'clothesline'...old wire hangers work nicely.  Unless your shots go really wide you aren't likely to hit the uprights, and the occasional busted wire is easy to replace.

[EngrBob]

Mine is like the Chicom soldier is holding except he is replaced with 2" PVC I formed into a base and short uprights.  The 2x1 wood frame simply sits into the 2" PVC short uprights.  I drilled a couple of holes in the base so I can spike it into the ground since the normal breeze in El Paso is 15 to 20 kts and gusty. This thing can be set up or broken down in a minute or two.  I will take a picture next time I am at the range.
