Dry cleaning bags?

 

Got a Stoeger class coming up and it's calling for rain. 

 

Thanks.

Yes. I went to a dry cleaner and bought a roll. If they don’t want to work with you they are on amazon as well. Not too expensive and probably a once in a lifetime purchase if you keep the roll protected over the years.

i forget which club now, but somewhere in md or pa i think, one of the MD's was making some sort of roof/blockade out of some plastic-y cardboard (coroplast or something like that) that sat on top of the target sticks and blocked the targets from rain.  they worked pretty good but because they caught the wind the target stands really had to be nailed down.  man i hate scoring and pasting under bagged targets!

Ben's classes are great.

 

I bought these and they worked fine:

A friend told me that East Alabama Gun Club did some testing of targets in the rain. They tried various types of coatings/coverings and the one that held up to 1-2 days of rain was 50:50 Acrylic Clear Lacquer and Acetone.

 

Pasters maybe a challenge......
