Quoted: But does that work with plastic bags? Use those for your empty brass Quoted: This is cool, thanks! Almost as good as a pack of paper plates from the $ store! Quoted: Yep, you wad that shit up and put it along with the rest of the set in one of the pillow cases. This. |

Great work OP, I'm going to make a few of those from my Trader Joes paper bags. ... For very cheap, I use the cardboard target stands at my local range, with white stickers. This is 25x targets with 2" white stickers. 10rd per target.  1000 2" stickers is $7, and the roll fits easily into a range bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNRNHKSV?tag=arfcom00-20

Used political or other signs made from corrugated plastic make great target backers. And they even come with metal posts, so you can stand them up anywhere. Tape a target to them, make a bullseye with a Sharpie, or just use parts of the printing as your aiming point. I pick up dozens of them after every election (best to wait until the election is over, though, so you don't get busted for it). |

Quoted: I haven't seen a paper grocery bag in a long time. Most everyone uses plastic or reusable bags now. It's the circle of life: Paper bags-> paper or plastic -> plastic-> paper... |

Quoted: Just give it to your wife. That way it's always done right. Quoted: Quoted: Do you also hold the secret of how to fold a fitted sheet? ?? Just give it to your wife. That way it's always done right. At least it's understood that way. Out of sight, out of mind.

Quoted: Tell us you're from a red state without telling us you're from a red state. Quoted: Quoted: I haven’t seen a paper grocery bag in a long time. Most everyone uses plastic or reusable bags now. Tell us you're from a red state without telling us you're from a red state. That makes no sense. Red states don’t allow plastic bags. I clearly wrote everyone uses plastic or reusable. |

I love it!  We can’t get paper grocery bags anymore.  Tennessee is a hard red state, but no paper bags. I really hope you guys are right, that paper bags are making a comeback. They are biodegradable, they won’t fill up the landfill forever, and we can’t always grow more trees. What’s not to like? |

Quoted: If you have a nice quality printer at home, you can print your own targets too! https://i.imgur.com/bbkWmtr.jpg This but print a B8 instead |

Not free but if you buy some of the High Viz hobby stock ( I like the pink or green) cover it with packing tape and then paint it black with a cheap flat spray paint you will have really nice reactive targets. Take the paint with you to the range and you can paint over the bullet holes. I buy the biggest sheet I can and then cut it in quarters or so after it's done. They work well. |
