Solution to rolled targets in the Ready Area!
Steve,
Is your issue with YOUR individual targets?
If so, I discovered a VERY handy item to help solve the problem of dealing with +10 rolled up targets in the Ready Area, esp on windy days!!!
Various Wine Shops sell light weight, shopping-bag-sized, nylon tote bags that feature INTERNAL DIVIDERS. These wonderful bags allow customers to safely stow and keep their bottles safe while they shop. The bags keep all of the carried bottles physically separated via the internally sewn dividers!!!
So - with this technological leap forward - I can now put ALL of my individual targets in their respective "divider". My pistol targets are put in one space, 50 yd long arms in their spaces and 100 yd in theirs.
NO LONGER do I have to root around, looking for the target(s) that I want to post. They're all rolled and ready at my finger tips. To be honest, I'm surprised no enterprising vendor/sutler has never thought of making just such a bag - preferably with a large flap to protect the rolled targets from any surprise/inclement weather...
Anyhow, this bag has been a GREAT addition to my range kit! Unfortunately she's stowed in my trailer, so I can't share pics.
In the meantime check out your local shops and ask around. They also small bottle bags too, I presume for those who lean towards small bottles of their favorite adult beverage - but, like small dogs - thats just crazy...
NOW as for remedying "self-rolling" paper targets. I just roll my individuals with the bulls on the outside. The time they spend in the "counter roll" configuration makes them lay easy/flat on the backer for stapling when I'm ready, and with the printed info on the outside, it makes picking the right target a snap!
Hope this helps.
