Thumbs down -1 for ALCO Target Company

After shooting at standard IDPA targets at the New Castle pistol class, I thought it would be a good idea to order a pack for the Brown County Range. They are stiff cardboard and not flimsy paper like most targets.

So I did what I always do when I want to buy something. . .

I emailed my Dad (lovemywoods) and said "Hey Dad, YOU should order these!" lol

So he put in an order with ALCO Target Company - Your Source for Shooting Targets & Accessories . His total, without shipping, was about $100. Apparently they didn't give him the shipping cost, so he sent an email asking for the total amount.

Well they sent a response saying that shipping would be another $42!

Needless to say he cancelled the order.

Nice website. Good selection. Bad communication. Terrible shipping prices.

BrownDog is on a distinguished road
If you're still intrested try MLE Shooting Sports Catalog. $35 for 100. I've had good dealings with Mike.

Yeah I'm still looking for a better deal.

The ones at MLE look like just the paper overlays, not the actual cardboard targets. Hmm....

Evan,

I'm pretty sure Target Sports in Sheridan has the cardboard targets (or very very similar to what we used). I don't have a business card next to my computer, but Lars and I probably posted their info in a thread or six around here since we're up there every other weekend. If you call and talk to Ron, I'm sure he can probably get them for you.
