Sarge Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Who uses Uline bags for target bags for wet weather? Dry cleaning bags suck so I want to get the good bags many folks use now. What sizes did you get and what mil thickness works best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just cost a lot so I want to get it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dry cleaners bags are a pain in the ass. 20x48 would seem like the way to go for double hung targets but I’d like to hear others opinions on the uline bags and what thickness would be best.

Dirty_J Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Major matches need to stop being cheap asses and use waterproof targets… bags stick to shoot and suck to reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve used those so called waterproof targets before. They’re not as waterproof as most would assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve CRO’d a few matches that used them… and they were superb IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps We had a bad batch or something But they just didn’t work out for us. I doubt I’ll ever buy them again.

Plastic bags do suck to shoot with them on but I was in plenty of rain with them… but they were turtles now that I recall… so perhaps the ones with a head box would be more problematic.

We went so far as to cut up old political signs into small strips and staple them to the back of the heads to keep them from drooping. Either way it sucks shooting in the rain. I shot the bama sectional earlier this year and it rained on and off all that Friday. I shot two stages without bags on them out of ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic bags do suck to shoot with them on but there was a batch of them that were not as well coated as the original ones and they were not great, the ones we have purchased lately have been very well coated. they are not as good as regular targets on a dry day but they are every bit as good as regular targets under a plastic bag. our range is in NW Oregon and we have stopped stocking bags and just run waterproof targets any time we are less than 100% it will be dry.

I’ll agree with that. They need some extra love… especially if they’re coming off a paster gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagellord Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Hey Sarge, did you figure out what dimensions/product to buy? I am looking at getting some for my club, to replace the dry cleaner bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
