POLITICAL SIGNS AT THE RANGE?

[dolek]

The blue ones make the best target backers . Because of the contrast between target and backer of course.

I glue parchment paper over the entire face so I start with a clean white backer behind my targets...I don't need distractions in the scope,my mind likes to wander enough on it's own. I also glue(Elmer's white glue) my targets to the parchment,makes for nice clean holes...and peels right off so targets don't get damaged. Of course this is all done for my home range ,public range would not be ideal for this approach .

I usually see Democrat signs at the range. The ones with pictures of the candidate are preferred.

It's probably already been done, but can you imagine the news bite on CNN where they show us "evil gun fanatics" shooting at the face of say, Nancy Pelossi or --- well, let's just leave it at Nancy Pelossi. jd

I've been picking them up for years

 

[Lone Hunter]

They are cheap, easy to use, and disposable after use.

Kinda like the candidates they came from...

I've been picking them up for years

The best time is about a week before the election ?

Here in Texas, the BETO signs seem to be most popular. Several on target backers this morning.

Sometimes they work right where you find them....depending on the downrange area behind them of course.

Just a word of caution. Those signs belong to the person who put them up. If you get caught defacing or stealing them, you can be charged. I realize that most cities have a time period to take them down, but just relaying what has happened in our town.

Code enforcement laws cover placement of those and other bandit signs.
It appears most folks are just helping out the county workers and doing a bit of recycling in the process...

 

[Mike Casselton]

Just doing our civic duty by removing illegally placed signs in the rights of way.

They make great vanes for wind flags.

 

[Liven The Dream]

In the PNW for one range they order it in 6X6 pre cut for the Long Range Targets.
Works well in rainy places ..

There was certain way to install ?? the way the core had tp face up ( top of target ).

 

[Rustytigwire]

Those kind of signs are litter plain and simple.
County mows and they kick into the road. Had the wire punch a sidewall once and ruin a tire.
It is my civic duty to remove them year round. No permit required.

They make good airplanes too.

You hear the story then walk into the room to see what this fanatic looks like and there you are giggling about how small of a group you shot. Or cussing the new bullets aren’t living up to expectations...

Chloroplast is one of the best target backers.

The stuff can be had 4 free ... from signs used everywhere. Just ask any store manager to save you some, pick them up & thank him.

[Toby Bradshaw]

I was a forestry major for a while!!

And I was forestry faculty for awhile.

But at least neither one of us has had his picture on a political sign.

I live in the PNW 3 hours north of Seattle. Rain proof targets are a necessity. I use these signs as backers and use Tyvek that I cut to size for the targets. I draw whatever markings I need on it with a sharpie and cover any target dots with clear packing tape.

My target was out in the pouring rain for 3 hours the other day while load testing and was none the worse for wear.

 

[Tuxedo007]

Funny,thought I was the only one to do this....lol

"Not!!"
