Anybody else cheap (broke)? Share your tips

also use a diaper bag for my range bag. It is very well made and was a gift. Just dont use it for travel through the airport.

My sister in law had kittens, and puppies, and I think I saw a flying pig take off out a window as we drove away, my bro told me not to worry, she'll get over it.
I was tempted to draw in some black guns in the teddy bears hands, but it struck me as too 3rd grade.

My ammo bag is actually a Router bag, has a few pockets, two big ones on each end, a band around the inside that's perfect for mags. You can fit everything from .22 to 12ga 25 round boxes, and it folds up like a doctors satchel.

For those shooting air rifles. Here's a trick my mother taught me when I first started shooting.

Take a coffee can with top. Any size but the bigger ones are easier to construct. Nail the can to a good sturdy tree, through the bottom of the can with the top facing out. Place the plastic top on the can. Use a marker to put a bulls eye. When shooting through the top the pellets remain in the can.

Remember, excessive use will weaken the can bottom and poke holes. The tree should stop the pellet. But you will need new tops.

Something else ive down before, which saves lots of money. Sometimes your local recycling center will have a barrel full of brass casings. My brother and i have gone and gotten thousands of rounds for cheap. Just have to pay by the pound for the wieght of brass. Alot of .40 S&W since the police take the spent casings there but it makes reloading all the better.

Government agencies have their own publications departments. They are constantly updating posters and just tossing out the older versions. I got a box of 1000 posters the size of poster board for free and shipped free.
