Shoot-N-C and Orange peel targets by Caldwell

[hoosierdoc]

Do you guys use these when shooting much? I've been looking around for pricing on these and they vary so much it's hard to find a good place to buy.

I've ordered a bunch of the Orange Peel targets from MidwayUSA. They have "seconds" of them on sale from time to time for a really good price.

I've also bought them locally @ Bradis, Wal-Mart, and BGF. I like them for the instant feedback.

This. I buy them in bulk at MidwayUSA when they are on sale.

i save them for 22lr at 100yd or shooting over 200yd with 5.56 and .30-06 (the big 18" ones)

I think they are worth it, Hoosierdoc. Been using them for years and definitely improve range time when just shooting paper. Much easier to make sighting adjustments without walking up and down range every few shots...

I like them for the 22 but use paper on most everything else.

They def. help you make the most of your range time. Instant feedback. They can be pricey compared to paper targets. Walmart seems to have them the cheapest locally, but I just bought a pack of 50 5.5" orange 2nds from midway USA. I bought the limit of 3 packs and split them with some friends. I haven't seen anything wrong with them that would make them 2nds.

midway has them on sale this month. i ordered 5 packs yesterday. the 6"ers this time.

I buy them whenever Midway has "seconds" on sale. They still work fine and the flaws are usually tiny and don't affect use.

 

[derrickgoins]

I bet I've bought 7 or 8 packs of the seconds from Midway and haven't noticed anything other than a print smear or misspelled word on the target. They're the way to go if you catch them on sale or clearance.

Over a long period of time I think a spotting scope might be the better investment, but they definitely work as advertised. I don't buy them regularly anymore, but I have used them in the past. The thought just occurred to me though that I wonder if putting a contrasting color of paper behind the target before you mount it might also work. Probably not as well, but you might be able to pick up your shots.

 

[hoosierdoc]

I saw the factory seconds sale before and bought a few, was sad about the limited quantities but just bought a bunch with no apparent limit

 

[HalfCocked]

The only seconds I could find were the 5-1/2 inch packs of 50. Bought 2 of those. Should last me for a while. Thanks for the heads up.

I moved to using spotting scopes and I'm very pleased.

 

[hoosierdoc]

My order of 16 packets of 50 came. Yay! Anyone know of other manufacturers Than Caldwell or Birchwood Casey Shoot n C?

 

[giovani]

The little colored dots used at garage sales work well also.

Aim small miss small !!

 

[DemolitionMan]

I love these targets, both for the instant feedback and for the ease in putting them up. Sometimes they don't want to stick to very slick cardboard but that's rare.

I recall using a large one to demonstrate what different shotgun rounds do. I first shot a deer slug, then 00 buckshot, and finally #8 birdshot. I think my boys were most impressed by the birdshot, just because it created so many little orange dots.

 

[Birds Away]

I use the shoot n' c often. I like the instant feedback. Thanks for the heads up about the Midway seconds.

I love them because they stick well to empty 5 gallon buckets. They are old buckets setting all around the farm ground we lease and they make great portable target holders.

I like them quite a bit. I use them for target quite a bit. I like the immediate ability to see where I'm at and being able to adjust. It is especially nice when dialing in new sights
