New targets I made.

[HamsterStyle]

Gratz on the LTCH! Makes you feel like a new man doesn't it?!?

We are going to start to head down around noon on Saturday (we never leave on time due to my brother). We have 6 of us (family) going so far. Should be a good time. Head on down when you get done with your game.

I'll be on the road (as long as there are no hitches) between 1:30 and 2. I'll call you on the way down.

I'll take a bundle or two. Please pm me with contact info.

Awsome Targets!!! You could sell a lot of them!

 

[Citronman1980]

Thanks for the positive response on my targets!

It was not my intention to sell these until you all came forward with such stellar responses.

I am putting the wheels in motion to possibly start manufacturing these.

I just have a couple of questions that hopefully you all can help me with before I take this next step.

1. Do you think I should add a hole in the middle of the "MOHAWK" (as MinuteMan47 called it) as well as one on each shoulder to be able to hang them instead of clipping them?

2. Would white be better than the brown (as it is in the picture)? The down side to white is that it costs more, but it's easier to see at long distances.

3. What quantities do you suggest selling them in? I was thinking 6.

4. Besides having something printed on them, is there anything else you would suggest adding to make it a better corrugated target?

Any input you can give me on these would be great.

Thanks again everyone!

What's a ballpark price? That seems like those could get expensive. Just a guess compared to paper.

Love them, love em a lot.

How did you make the target?
I think packages of 6 would be great. And keep them brown. And holes in the shoulder and the Mohawk would be good.

Not sure on price as of yet. First glance before I get back more numbers in the next few days would be around $1.50 each?

Thoughts on that price?

Of course I'd cut a better deal for peeps.

Hell i would buy a dozen of them!!! Very nice work!!!

Right now I'm making them on a Datatech Sample Table that I have.

If I go into full production, I will have to invest some money into a cutting die. That's the reasoning for all of my questions.

Just hire some kids, I hear they work for cheap.

Very neat Idea. I would keep them brown for now. If you have enough demand to justify a cutting die in the future, I would start making them white. I would be in for a dozen.

 

[JohnP82]

those are nice. Great job!

I think keeping them brown is fine. If you wanted to do some white's for "non shoot" targets, that would be good too. As for $1.50 per and packs of 6, that's 9 bucks for a pack... I'd pay that. I'm still gonna stick a shoot N C on it though.

If it wasn't for those darn sweat shop rules and OSHA standing in the way, I'd be a millionaire by now.

 

[MikePapa1]

Those are great targets and the price seems right. I can think of a bunch of people who'd love them. Need a Tennessee dealer? I'm available.

What grade board is that? The darn thing is great, white board would be nice too for the shoot no shoot. +1 Good job!

Thanks to Citronman1980 it looks like I will have some samples of these available for inspection (NOT purchase) at NFA Day this weekend.

Board grade is 44 ect.

 

[esrice]

Well the new targets made an appearance at NFA Day 2010!

Got some good feedback from some folks. I will be sure to post their thoughts along with my full report that will come at a later date.

 

[HamsterStyle]

I got to shoot at one this weekend as well. Once they get cluttered, just hang a target on them.
