Targets, Anyone? Where to Buy?

Speedwell targets. Most of my local ranges use them, so I cut out the middle man and buy direct. Ask for Rob, he will take care of you.

As already mentioned the shipping may be the issue. I pick them up, due to them being on my way to the range, so that cost never crossed my mind.

Believe it or not, there are still some thriving 2a affiliated businesses left in this state. We also have one of the largest LE ammo distributors in the nation here as well. 3rd generation if I am not mistaken. We even have an up and coming evil rifle company that mfg’s right here too.

I've always printed out the free targets from places like targetz.com (not affiliated or recommending, mind, you).

The new thing at some of my local ranges is that you cannot use homemade targets. That sucks donkey doo-doo. Although they have yet to kick me out for doing it.

You turned me on to them some time ago. I use their cardboard silhouettes. About 2 bucks a target for 200 delivered. I may have to go with a lower end target.
Best thing is that the shipping boxes are great for storage and dispensing.
Merry Christmas.

I read the fine print for today's free shipping offer and did not see an exception for targets.

Today they're offering free shipping with $49 but no, it's not a great selection of targets.

This is what I typically do, but skip the dots. When I need a fresh one I staple on top. A nice thick stack of plates shoots a nice confetti jet out the back when you hit.

I use the cardstock targets from targets online because they don't dissolve in the rain. I am limited to certain type targets for state mandated qualifications. For myself I am perfectly happy with a paper plate with shoot n see stickers on them.

I will throw in a plug for Target Barn (www.targetbarn.com)

I bought official IDPA targets with pasters from them. Can't remember the cost as the purchase was a few years ago...

This is where I get my targets. Good selection, reasonable shipping (IMO), and quick delivery!

Take a 1/2 silhouette, cut into 1/4’s then copy off the 1/4’s then tape together to make a target. I go to an indoor range and just buy them there. Also keep an eye out for garage sales, dusty corners in old gun shops and the junk bins at gun shows.
