Default RE: Winter shooting backdrop

We dont shoot to much at the excelesior up here mainly due to heads or hole shafts (if alum) freezing in the bails.

So I picked up a burlap bag for a whopping 3 bucks, almost 50 gallon size. Filled it full of the feed stores trash shrink wrap (clear cellophane they use to secure pallet items with during shipping, any company that has stuff coming in on pallets should have it free). Stuffed it, put it on 2 rubber maids, and wammo, the cheapest longest lasting target I have had to own for 3 bucks and a tad bit of gas. If you get the smaller bags, get 2, put one in front of the other. Dont shoot at the same hole over and over again at 5 steps with only the one smaller bag or you' ll be patching holes in the wall, you can take that to the bank[&:] I hunt it up in a closet for awhile with a saftey harness strap. Took some parachute cord, tied the burlap off with it and made a loop, then tied on using that loop. We could shut the door when company came and no one would know the diff!

not bad for living in a 3bedroom condo eh [8D]
