39 Days, I can't wait! Randy the guy that had the targets last year And they were being used as practice targets. will he be there again this year with targets for sale?

john nail · Guru

mine wore out in about 4 months.............8^(

As far as I know, he will be there. We decided the other day to tell him not to bother to bring the cheap soft ones. Lots of complaints about them. The hard ones last a long time though.

I bought a big hard one (stop it!!) at Nancy eight or nine years ago, grey, about 3' x 3' x 1' thick - looks to be poured in a form, kinda irregular.

Think it's the same? I'd like to have another, take my old one to camp, still has quite a bit of life left.

my target has a hole in the center you could throw a cat through.

I don't use the center as often biggrin

Wow JR. That was funny..

randy grider · Guru

John he had two kind, sounds like you got the soft one. Some folks were shooting through them that weekend. The good ones were actually smaller in size but much denser foam. I have one That I bought at Nancy like 10 years ago, has been outside the whole time and is stillin great shape. I think he sold those out real quick.

john nail · Guru

pretty sure mine was made from recycled toilet paper.

thunt · Guru

JR., The other one was funnier. biggrin

randy grider · Guru

I understand John, they were $h1tty

flingshot · Guru

Mine is still going strong. Trick is to scatter your shots all over the place and they last longer.

john nail · Guru

i even turned mine edge-wise. shot through that too. a 45lb bow shouldn't shoot all the way through. just too soft. Double that after a rain. oh well, live and learn 8^)

We have a aireal vendor booked, as well as a minister for sunday morning worship. One of the guys were going to tell the target an not to bring the softie cheap targets, just the dense ones. They hold up real well.

thunt · Guru

Meaning someone else will run it, freeing up our help. Like last year.

E-mail from Eddie Alexander:
Just got confirmation from Kevin The Target Man. He will be at the shoot Friday evening and will stay thru Saturday. Hell be leaving Saturday afternoon. He plans to bring a few of the low density targets, but most will be the high density targets.

thunt · Guru

randy grider · Guru
