Target paper for rainy days
- Thread starter dgeesaman

Off the wall thought but if you can get some of the yard sized political signs and mount that above your paper target, or mount the paper target to the political sign and fold one end over to form a "roof" or cover to keep the rain off. Probably won't work with wind, but a light drizzle it might.

I've considered fabricating a simple portable roof that I can attach to the top of the target frame. I've just never got to messing with it. Good luck to you because a soggy target with holes in it is better than a nice dry one with no holes!
I considered that. My club uses the plastic corrugated sheets for holding targets. I could easily staple a cover over it.
Our club replaced all backers last month so for this weekend, I might skip paper altogether and just stick hi-vis directly on the backer where it hasn't been shot up.
Do you print on it or just write with permanent marker?
This did get me researching "synthetic paper" options. Not cheap but interesting possibilities.
Hm. I think I have some old clearcoat for car wheels I could use up for this.

and use the self adhestve target pasters:

Just stick the pasters onto the plastic sheet(s) and go shoot.
Works great ...................

Mylar 8.5" x 11" sheets for printers. Completely water proof, bullets punch a nice clean hole that is easy to measure...AND...wait for it...you can print any target you want on them! You can get them at any stationery store...staples etc...
Lol, you stole my thunder, this stuff is great.
The lawyers on here can correct me if im wrong, but dont just take those election signs, tampering, stealing, or removing them us a felony. But the stuff they are printed on make great targets. A friend of mine works for car dealership and he gets me premonition signs when they are done with them
Tripdad, I asked a lawyer about this years ago, and his answer was it is unlawful for political candidates to place the signs on public road rightaways
but it is also illegal for you to remove them. Sort of a catch 22. I get one when I want it, and pick up a lot of them and pile then at the candidates
office door after the election. Enough said. John Kruzan
Until the election is over. Then it's a misdeameaner to leave them up.
