Red range flag maker question

Post by Shadow 4 »

I don't remember who made these for me. It wasn't an internet business so to speak, think it was just shooters, husband/wife? that made them.
someone suggested an email of barb @ wyo , tried that failed delivery.

Got these 5-7 yrs ago, great price, not interested in the 65-80$ stuff, or could care less for the 44 feet long ones, working from 12' pvc pipe (& it works just fine), not 25' poles.

Anyone got any ideas as to who, address, email, phone#, someones got to know these fellow shooters

Thanks

Brian Hickey

You can always go to Walmart and buy it by the yard at $5.-$6.and sew the edges.https://www.walmart.com/ip/SHASON-TEXTI ... s/54806058

So, Kurt, you think I should be the seamstress around here too :(

Maybe I could clean the porta potties next :(

I"m looking for something, (what I got), to lash to a pole & slip over a T post. It's enough to go purchase, drag home, cut & glue the poles together, drill the holes, cut the parachute cord & strap'm on. Ya know, it's only time, & what the $$$ is time I don't have. I'm trying to cut my time down, not add to it. :wink:

I've got to reload sometimes, just like everybody else.

They're nylon, after a 5" rain, they dry out in about four seconds, "Fine Chiffon? Really? Isn't that something you should be wearing close to your skin :wink:

Yes, yes they do.

NRA Regulation Range Flag

Nylon Range Flag All Red 5' 9 3/8" high 18' long 3' at tip Meets NRA Regulations

The flags these folks made are 4' at the mast, approx 12' long & 18" at the tip & they're not $65 per. I believe I got these at a 2/1 price, in other words, I got two of these flags for ONE from Creedmoor :mrgreen:

These flags work perfectly. Sadly it would appear they are no longer

Brian,
I'll ask Nate's wife when she returns from Missouri next week if she'll do something like this, she's setting up to do this type of work and embroidery. We're trying to talk her into shooting LG/BG also so you may have a chance to meet his other half...

Buy the cloth, as much as you want. Cut to length. Cut 550 cord of the length needed. Lay along one short edge, double roll that edge around cord, staple along the edge. Tie flag to pole. Done. About 5 minutes invested for each flag. No sewing needed and will last until the staples rust away.
