FREE TARGETS!!!!!! Reactive Targets!!!

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - FREE TARGETS!!!!!! Reactive Targets!!!

Posted: 1/29/2002 12:21:00 PM EDT

Yup folks, I am giving away free reacrive targets, no strings......

Ok, they are actually crakers. Survival crakers from the early 60's that were placed in fallout shelters. They are the same size and type as MRE crakers but they taste like shit. I have 75-90 boxes of em, each box has 2 18 pound tins of crakers (36 pounds of crakers if a whole lot of crakers!!!)

They make great reactive targets!!! They are about 4"x4", bust into piecs when hit, and are biodegradable so you don't have to clean em up!!!

I am not gonna ship em (unless you wanna pay more than they are worth to ship em, and I really don't wanna do the hassle of UPS if I am not making anything on it) so you have to come get em. They are located in Canton NC, just west of Asheville and 30 miles from the TN line on I-40. First come first serve.

Just curious, but how in the world did you end up with 75-90 36lb boxes of crackers?

1.62 [b]TONS[/b] of 4"X4" survival crackers.
I don't think anyone has that much ammo.
Hey think you could save some for the next Boone shoot (if it ever happens)?

Point taken. You ought to try and sell them on the net as 'Cold War Relics' and maybe get some of those old fallout shelter signs to go with them.

Lots of people collect that kind of stuff. Hell, if I were close enough to pick some up I'd keep them just as souvenirs.

Garand Shooter, is that Ol Grouches surplus?
It's been several years since I've been in the area but that's the only one I can remember and I may have gotten it wrong.

Garand_Shooter,

Make a pitch to reenacting groups that they are hardtack!! You could probably sell them for $1 each.
