Plotting Sheet "Thingy", you know, a little tent-like thing

#1 Post by tikkathreebarrels »

Those of you who are full bore range shooters will know exactly what I'm talking about (which is good because I barely do!!!), it's a plastic folding clipboard with waterproof superstructure, it's a thing to keep your plotting sheets dry whilst on the firing point, it folds flat like a plastic A4 clipboard but opens up to provide a wedge-shaped arrangement.

I've googled plotting sheet folder and all kinds of seemingly obvious but totally wrong combinations of words like rifle/range/F-Class/TR/wallet/folder and I'm stuck!

Please, what's it called properly and where do I get one from?

Could these be the biggest rip-off in rip-off Britain?
Take a £3 clipboard, add some plastic and a spring, and sell for £30.

I stubbornly refused to buy one for years, until practically forced-to during a year of full-time shooting. I use it every shoot, wouldn't like to be without it, but still begrudge the ridiculous price.

Tikka, I was the bloke shooting with you at 600 :cheers:

Spud was talking to Eager No Skill, who I'm sure will want to come up and play as soon as he's got his FAC sorted :0037:

You are a member of Grove and an RCO? Did not realise you were 'one of us' I RCO more often at Barton but have done Thetford in the past, in fact my HME RCO card arrived this week :goodjob:
