Easy Way to Cover Bullet Holes

I went to the dollar store & bought the sticky garage sale price tags to cover the bullet holes on used targets. They work great for me; fast & inexpensive. You can get hundreds for a buck. Some of them have prices on them, some are blank, either works fine. I had found that using masking tape took longer for me. These are just peel & stick.

Cool idea! I was thinking bandaids, but that would only work on the entry, exit would need something larger...

Good idea! Cheaper than buying round stickers at the office supply store.

I was thinking the same thing. Probably the best place to go would be Rite Aid or CVS. There you can also purchase gauze to reduce any annoying leakage that might occur.

Good idea. I have been using the square pasters that Midway sells. I think they are about $5 for a roll of 1000 but they are big enough for .50 cal. - about 1" square. I cut them into 1/6's for .22 and 1/2's or 1/4's for larger calibers. They come in a little dispenser box so they are easy to cut before peeling. They come in white, black, and tan.

Sounds like a plan! Use also for cheap bullseyes too I bet (rather than buy the orange florescence targets). Thanks for the tip.


However, most times, I just use another target (a paper plate ) . Paper plates are cheap! And a black marker to make a bullseye to shoot at and mark the top to tell which end is up for analysis back at the house. I've also used the marker to 'mark' the old bullet holes.

go buy a roll of cheap masking tape....it tears easilly and sticks really well...and one roll should last most of the year for about $2

When I was in college and had little money for targets I would use upper left of a rifle target for 22s and then the upper right for 38 and the lower left for 44 or 45 and the lower right for muzzle loader 58 caliber.
