I use standard cardboard silhouette targets, like this one.



I am running out of them.

Where can I get some cheap?

Thanks.

furniture stores, appliance stores, etcetera.

My family runs a furniture store - we throw away a ton or more of cardboard every month.




edit:

I'm assuming that you have time to cut them out when you're not shooting.....

Quick google search shows these guys, 100 for $45.

Wouldn't exactly call that cheap though.

ETA: Midway is asking $59 for the same thing.

You live in Texas.  Head toward the Mexican border.

Dumpster diving behind Lowes or Home Depot.  Some Uhaul stores ( self storage and rental centers have a huge bin with old boxes left behind by others and its free.


BTW is that your bench rest target stand or are you preparing for the little people invasion?

crap if only you were closer we throw out 100's of those every month from cabinet jobs. I guess I need to start selling them. :)

LE Targets don't know how cheap they are compared to others.

Call a corrugated manufacturing plant and ask them if they have some sheet stock that they misprinted or are throwing out due to a manufacturing error.  They'll probably give it to you for free.

If you are real adventurous and plan on shooting up a gazillion of them you could ask them how much it would cost you to buy the cutting die & have them slit them for you.  Give them your sizes & what board you'd use & they will quote it for you.  That way you'd have a steady supply & cut right to your specification.

MGM sells them for $.41 a piece, but you have to buy a decent amount and I don't know what the shipping cost is.
