I duct tape my target frames to make them last longer.

Post by: SpeedTek on August 28, 2012, 01:12:03 AM: I am so cheap i use other peoples targets at the range. I also use their guns and ammo so i dont need to bring anything. I also pick up all the earplugs i find on the ground and loan them out. I make target frames from the broken wood pile. I pick through the trash and recycle the paper plates into targets. I am so cheap im chinese. I take anything free except diseases.

Title: Re: How cheap are you?
Post by: Inspector on August 28, 2012, 03:28:55 PM: I was so cheap that:

For two years I only took women out to happy hour. At that time beers (some imports) were a buck and well drinks were a buck as well. Plus all the pupus you can eat. Fill up on drinks and pupus and its time to go back to her place (So I didn't have to wash my sheets at the laundomat before I brought her back to my place).

Buy it cheap.
Make it do.
Use it up.
Do without.
