Thread: Target etiquette at ranges?

Maybe if there’s an undercover area you can leave them there with a note on them “free to use”

The plywood sheets at the range I use, are stored in an undercover area behing the shooting area. On arrival people can select a sheet or sheets to use. They all have targets (used and unused) already on them, but new targets can just be stapled over top of the old. The resulting paper mache helps get a bit more milage out of a plywood sheet too I think.

Helpful for people who forget to bring targets to staple up, there is almost always something usable to be found that someone else has left behind

If someone is finishing for the day and their target doesn't have too many holes in it, I usually offer to bring it in for them, saves shutting the range so they can walk out to get it. Then someone else can shoot it which saves shutting the range so they can walk out to put their one out (which can often be the one just bought in).

Leaving rubbish out on the range is a bit of a different thing to do though.
