Title: Patterning target.
Post by: tangle tooth on April 04/20/24, 06:20:44 PM

      I'm going to have a few pieces of lumber left over and I want to build a target to pattern my shotguns. Good summer project.

      Where might I be able to get the paper at a reasonable price? It looks like regular sized newsprint is too small. Butchers paper was too expensive.

      I could kick myself over this one. About 5 years ago, I had a chance to get a couple hundred pieces of cardboard that were about 4' in diameter.
