Does anyone know of a Canadian supplier of 25 straight patches? I need a few for the club and the ones I have found are in the US, I simply cannot justify the cost of ordering them in with the ridiculous "handling fee" that Federal and Winchester want to charge. The NSSA pins are nice but I can't justify the minimum order either.

Lawry's used to give our club Federal brand patches with our target orders if we requested them. I can't ever recall seeing a charge for them on the invoice? They would come in a large bag with a number of smaller bags inside with everything from 25 straight up to 200 straight.

We used to receive them for free as well, when we ordered ammunition. I can't remember ever paying for them.
 
We haven't been able to find a source either. We ended up getting pins made up. I think they were about $3.50 a piece.

So, how long do you normally shoot trap until you start hitting 25s?

Don't shoot trap, but skeet. If the person is naturally gifted, you'll see them break 100 within 6 months. After a year and a half, probably approaching 200 straight territory.

Having said that, after shooting skeet for 7 years and meeting and shooting with 100`s of people, I`ve only ever met 2 with that natural ability.
 
25 of them on ebay rite now. they are federal 25 straight black ones. the buy it now price is $60.67. plus $10 shipping that's a lot of clays, like 625 straight. hahaha. look in to it though

Maritime Storm, I forgot all about these. A number of years ago I took a few patches into a vinyl decal shop. They ran them through some kind of screening process and loaded them onto their pc then printed me off a bunch of decals. I donated most of them to the club. They beat a crest. No sewing or gluing. I stuck a few on hard gun cases and my truck rear window. I forgot about these two on my sun visor and last evening I flipped it down to block the sun while driving and noticed them so I took a pic for you.
