for taking "unshot" or barely shot targets off the target range board and keeping them for my use?
Why the fuck don't people shoot their paid for targets?

Yeah you are a cheap bastard, so am I and I’ve done the same thing more times than I can count.
My favorite is the huge stack of them on top of the trash can with the target gone but 100 circle pasties. I’ll scavenge the hell out of those because I’d rather shoot at pasties than a target.
Lol, targets are expensive. I prefer 3/4" dots. Best thing is, they are a penny each.
Bit of a two-fer. They are dumb bastards for not re-using their targets and you are a bit of a cheap-ass for not just buying your own. Difference is you are saving money while they are wasting it. So keep doing what you're doing.
Are you a shameless cheap bastard? Probably, though the example only demonstrates smart use of available resources.
Since there is a finite amount of targets, you are just maximizing the use of scarce resources. Sounds fancier than "yes, you are a cheap bastard" LOL
I've got everyone beat..........
1 target, stamped 16 times (4 x 4 grid) on the back. I'm cheap and lazy too. Only one trip out to hang the bloody thing and only one trip out to retrieve it.

Lol, I like it. Makes me feel better because I do it all the time.?
TC308, without a link; never happened...
My bad;

It happened......
(Oh, and carry extra quarters in your range box/bag for the blank targets......
)
I do this same thing. Put them in a roll of butcher paper. I can cut a target to any size I want for as many dots as I want.

Oh wow, you're doing it wrong though. I've been taking Larue TG1 popper targets that weren't laying down
Hi,
Damn.....You just DOR yourself from @TheGerman "Go be poor somewhere else society".

Hmmmm?
Can I get these made with 1/4" group stamp?
Save on bullets not to mention time and frustration. ?
Yes you are. And my compliments
I scavenge people's empty sheets from the shoot & see targets and use the little patch up circles for dot drills all the time.

Wow! Does Sinclair still sell those rubber stamps?
I just go on the free target website and print them up.
I've been known to use printers from previous jobs...
It is ironic that we do stuff like this to save pennys and then think nothing when we spend $$$$$$$$$ on the good stuff!!!!
“SO” we can spend money on the good stuff.
I print mine on the 24” roll paper printer at work.
I designed them up in AutoCad and have a couple of different versions
Hell, I get PAID to make targets

If you were truly cheap this would be your roll paper upon which you print....
and unlike those that are my benefactors you would walk down range to retrieve your targets and repurpose them for their intended purpose.
well i could either spend $100 on targets........or i could spend $5 on targets and $95 on ammo......kind of a no brainer.
i shoot a lot of silhouette targets.....which run around $1/each.
what i do is go buy a big pad of easel paper for $10, cut out a template from some cardboard.....and i spray paint my own targets. its also a great way to get rid of all the old half empty cans of paint i have kicking around.
can make 50-100 targets for what ide pay for 10.
Instead of spending money on targets I buy as equally useless shit as this......
At $100 I can use it to nail my shameful trash picked targets to the backer board.

I would prefer paper towel.
TC308, much thanks, the site/page is bookmarked to cope with an aging memory.

I'll shoot them all day long while I'm at my club but I've never taken one. Most of the time I'm shooting at a 8x11 sheet of paper with a dot in the middle-maybe some sharpied crosshairs so I'm just as "thrifty" lol.
I never started using the benchrest stamp to save money. It was much more a matter of not wanting to get up and go change targets at every cease fire. Call it lazy, but I’ve had both hips replaced and that much walking is now quite a chore.
I just recycle the cardboard from all the shit I order over the innerweb. Half the time I don't even bother to put an aiming point on there. I just shoot a hole in the thing and then try to shoot that hole again.
I can buy the large targets for 25 cents and small ones for 10 cents each at my range. If I want to be cheap, I'll put tape over the holes, but I don't take other people's targets, I have a friend that does that, lol!
If its Lapua, you gawd damm right !
