Bag for Steel Targets

[Barmcd]

Are there any? I’d like a flat bag that holds or stores steel targets up to 20” in diameter. I think 2 in a bag would be all I want to carry at one time. I’d buy multiple bags since I normally carry 8 targets between 4” and 16”.

I did a google search and found some prospects.
Cordura or heavy canvas isn't real cheap.
Divers bags & electrical bags are $$$

Those companies that sell promotional swag usually have cloth bags to print stuff on. The grocery bags are out there too. Maybe you will wreck a few before you discover your level of sturdiness .

I have a cloth “Target store ” bag that serves me well. It even has a red target on its sides.

File off any sharp edges on your steel.

I put mine in a basic cardboard box, reinforced with duct tape, and some extra pieces of cardboard as spacers.

I have a couple of dueling trees 1 centerfire, 1 rimfire and are petty gangling when assembled.
I made a wooden box for the paddles and the tree "trunks" fold up flat.
I use a cheap harbor freight hand truck to move that stuff around.

I’ve looked a lot, but haven’t found a good, durable bag. I really wanted something more substantial than a grocery bag, thinner too.

That’s what I’m currently using. I’d like something with a handle so I can carry four at a time.

I thought about a wooden box, but two 1/2” thick 12” gongs would be all I want to carry at one time.

Check out your local Farm/Feed stores, maybe even Tractor Supply, for empty grain bags/sacks, they’re like a woven material that’s pretty rugged.

Hey … here’s a deal, maybe????

4 canvas bags w/ handles for $10, measuring 14” by 17” x 4” thick. At that price either double them up or lay a cheap piece of carpet in first as a liner.

I think that's what I'm going to try. Thanks!

I used to lug all that steel around and setup, but found I needed some time to get my pulse rate back down before I could shoot.
jmo,

I was going to say that is what duct tape is for, but the canvas bag idea seems so obvious now having heard that from others, I'm on that bandwagon.

I just leave my steel gongs hanging in my backyard. I would not want to transport those things.

My neighbor shoots long range black powder cartridge and has a whole trailer full of large heavy steel gongs that he take to and from the range.

While we live outside the city limits, we don’t have enough property to have a home range.

Diggin' the bags!!

I found this at Midway. It’s big enough to hold my 12x12” gongs. For $25 it might be worth a try.

That would be quite the engineering feat.

 

[NuclearMeltdown]

That would be quite the engineering feat.

I think he meant the dimensions of the bag, not the thickness of the material!

However, if that material were invented and affordable, sign me up for some!

I mean narrower. The 1/2” gongs are so heavy I don’t want to carry more than two or three 12 inch diameter gongs in a bag.

You’re right. I meant narrower.

heavy I don’t want to carry more than two or three

Amen brother!

Yeah hauling steel round gets old quick. How about a filing cabinet wherever you shoot, to lock it up in, keep paint in, eyes and ears...the other stuff you normally haul around too.
