Where do you find....

Winner

If you insist on paying for it, 18X24 foam board is a couple bucks a sheet at Walmart and trimmed to size. But a carton cutter and free moving boxes is all you need.

I thought this is what Amazon was for.

Dollar store has sheets of foam board. You can guess the price.

$1.07ish? What do I win?

I don't think so. I don't need the targets, I need the backing... unless I'm missing something in your link. Thank you.

I think CMSC uses what are basically unprinted campaign plastic signs. Seem to hold up alright.

I have a few of their targets still. If you are going there, I'd be happy to give them to you.

Something around 16x40 inch. Oh yeah, haven't been to the CMSC in a while, I should've asked them. Thank you for the lead!

You can also get them at home depot.

Did not know that. Winner!! Thanks...

You could have traced & cut out a dozen or so IPSC targets out of each side.
Since no one was interested I quit posting them up.

I did not need them at the time. Thank you for the recommendation.

Thanks, I guess I was blind when looking around.

Interesting company. I did not see anywhere to order online though on their website. Do you have more information or just letting me know what they were called? thanks.

Ah, thanks.

Foam? Like styrofoam board? I would assume that the little dots would be a pain to pick up outdoors....

A grateful heart.

I think you can get Coroplast from sign stores. (duh).
Some car racers use it for making airdams and wings, or for a form for fiberglass.
I suspect McMaster Carr sells it, but I expect you would get killed on shipping for big sheets.

I was just letting everyone know what it is called. You can get Coroplast at a lot of places, a sign shop is probably the easiest.

You can buy whole sheets online cut to your size and the shipping isn't too bad.

I built my target stands 18? wide. Fits IPSC/USPSA/IDPA targets perfect. If you don?t want to shoot those targets and want to use some other type of paper target you can just staple it to the IPSC target.

I use the outside packing of motorcycle crates. On carefully cut crate yields a years worth of target backing for my target stands.
