Chapo Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 What do you guys use to carry the USPSA cardboard targets to the range. I am tired of carrying the cardboard shipping box they came in. In addition, I have to walk some distance from car to range and it would be nice to have a bag to sling over shoulder to carry them in. Double alpha has one but seems like these have in out of stock for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echotango Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I use these velcro straps and it holds them well. I wrap them around the A zone. https://www.homedepot.com/p/VELCRO-Brand-3-ft-x-2-in-Velstrap-Straps-2-Pack-90440ACS/202261929 Edited February 5, 2021 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Just an extra large clamp like I used to hold them individually on a target stick. Pretty easy to turn 4-10 targets into one unit that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mveto Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 The DAA bag is the way to go, it holds up to 12 targets, a tape gun, stapler, extra pasters + more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never know, you might be able to get one from them. You can also email Saul at DAA. He might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishhunter3 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I usually just set them in the back seat of my truck along with my range box and the stay there all season or till I run out, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapo Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 I guess this could be an option for the USPSA and idpa cardboard targets.

Nathanb Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) I use a large dewalt job box for this. Pasters staplers and all target related stuff also fits. It’s got wheels I can even strap my range bag to the top.

But Wed through Friday my range stuff does just live in my truck non stop, with usually 6 to 8 targets just tossed in the back seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Y'all are using way too many targets if you need to devise a way to carry them........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapo Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Well, if you shoot and practice for competition there are so many holes you can patch before needing to change targets. I’m talking about cardboard targets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he did say he had to carry them a long way from car to range. If I were in that predicament I’d probably want a case or straps too. Around here we drive right up to the bays so throwing them on the seat works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schutzenmeister Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Well, if you want to make Saul wealthy, go ahead ... - Both USPSA and IPSC (as well as NRA D-1 and IDPA) targets measure 18" wide. - I just checked the width of a standard pillow case ... It measured 19". - Pillow cases are cheap and can be found just about anywhere. - DAA makes great stuff, but they're out of this ... Plus I think it costs a bit more. Do the math ... I'd just go to Wally-World (or wherever) and get a couple of pillowcases. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMMV Don’t get me wrong, I agree on DAA but I think the OP was looking for a way to free up his hands for other stuff for his long trek to the range. I’m sure a strap could be wrapped around the targets in a way to make a shoulder strap but a pillow case is still a hand carry affair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheshaw1 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 How about a rope tied to 2 spring clamps? The number of targets you intend to carry would dictate the size of clamp needed. This will probably cost like 5 to 10 bucks and can be found at your local hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no seamstress, but even I could stitch a shoulder strap to a pillowcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
