Scorpio64 5,120 Posted November 7, 2017 I may be bringing another two people, new shooters. Also, I tried a few of the clays from the first batch of flash targets I made and they performed nicely. I made up another batch, so I will be bringing about 65 flash targets all together. The recipe for the flash targets is 6oz of pulverized chalk to about 5 fluid oz of isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Mix the two until it is just a little thinner than pancake batter and pour into the top of the clay until about 3/4 filled. Gently shake the target in a flat surface until the mixture is evenly spread. Let dry for about 4 to 6 hours. Make sure to use a level surface to dry the targets. 6oz of pulverized chalk makes about 40-45 targets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get some chalk dust, fill top of clay, saturate chalk with Elmers spray glue, let dry. Done. Fyi- 3m super 77 spray glue does not work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeke 5,504 Posted November 8, 2017 Idk how much softer you can get? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On a real positive note due to Cindy's powers of persuasion she has acquired 8 more pumpkins. That makes 10 total 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimB1 554 Posted November 10, 2017 How long is everyone going to be there? I have some running around to do in the AM but I think I can get there around noon or so... -Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sota 1,191 Posted November 10, 2017 depends. 9am is the usual start. 12pm is the latest some of us are there generally. I've seen people come as late as 11 and stay when most of us are leaving, so the complement can shift during the day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
