Title: Coroplast Harvest season is upon us
Post by: The Wolfhound on October 16, 2020, 02:35:41 PM
Wish you had good quality coroplast backers for all your ranges? Harvest season is upon us.  The day after this election there will be a bunch of coroplast election signs that will not have any potential for reuse.  Contact the political committees in your region and get their permission to harvest this resource.  I find I can get 6 excellent 32 inch by 24 inch backers from a single 4 foot by 8 foot sign.  There are also usually steel "T" posts holding it upright.  Many a Virginia target line has benefited from these posts.  You have a couple of weeks to secure permission.  Merely state that you are going to repurpose the coroplast.  Some campaigns may be reluctant if they know our purpose.  Those campaigns may bring particular joy when you start shooting their signs after the harvest; know what I mean?  It is out there! Do not let it go to waste!  Start noting the locations of these signs now.

We got 22 4x8 sheets last presidential election cycle for our local Sportsmen's club. I contacted both local party heads in our area. Only one called me back, probably due to where I was taking them. This time I have a LBOTG guy who will be retrieving signs and is a club member. I have had these type of backers survive 10-12 Appleseed shoots. Great backer material.
