So as has become our monthly habit, INGOers esrice, troy_mp and I traveled down to Troy's family farm in southern Indiana to run some shooting drills. Weather was sunny and about 80, but with a persistent wind of about 20 MPH, with some VERY heavy gusts. This played havoc with setting up paper targets. First, our frames blew over. We weighted the bases, but then the backers blew off. We stapled the **** out of those, and finally the 1"x2" uprights snapped!
Fortunately, Troy and I had brought our Bobcat Steel 66% IPSC targets, which we mounted on 2x4s set into Bobcat's steel bases. Those had no problem staying up despite the wind, so we switched gears from shooting timed/scored courses of fire on paper, to practicing shooting on the move, reloads, transitions, multiple target engagement and other skills that could be done with a limited number of targets/target types, and a very productive day was had by all.
This experience moved us to borrow a page from Que's book...
