    Congratulations TRAGICALLYHIPGRANDPA!!!
    You are our winner
    please pm us with your deets so we can send you your target.

    To everyone who participated in the survey THANKS SO MUCH! We are going to do our best to do provide the options you have all suggested to us. Likely we will come up with a plan after our busy season passes so we can focus on getting everyone their targets right now expect everything painted until the site says differently.

    Personally I am leaning towards primer for the bases and optional for targets and altering the prices $$ accordingly. We are getting a sandblaster set up so maybe that can replace our current 'cleaning' system to get the targets spiffy enough to send raw and ready for paint.

    I've chosen two additional winners for ####s-&-giggles cause we appreciate all your support.

    Thanks for participating everyone
    Happy shooting!

    Keep the paint potentially ugly and affordable, as you have been doing this already. But, also have some Raw.

    K here. A recent question has been posed to us that makes us wonder how we should go about it. It's a problem that I'm not proud of, but really gets my knickers in a twist.

    The problem is paint,
    While we only guarantee ugly paint jobs as in our FAQ http://https://www.rangerabbit.com/pages/about-us this has come up once or twice a year as an issue. Especially as its our busy season and we are trying to get orders out the door sometimes the paint is done the day of shipping in order to keep up with orders. This includes our stands etc.

    My mindset is that this target will be shot at and you (the customer) is buying the functional target or stand of which we are happy to replace or modify should an issue of functionality come up. most targets and stands will have the paint shot off of. We keep our prices low in some ways because we aren't investing in a premium of 'looks' department. Especially with Covid prices have gone wonky and we are trying to keep things affordable as best we can.

    The reality is our options are:


    1) Keep the occasional ugly paint job
    2) Up our prices to have everything minty-standard-
    3) Stop bothering with the fuss to begin with and sell the products raw dawg steel.
    So poll time: What do you guys want from us?

    Since you guys like free stuff I'll include a 6" gong freebie for the discourse randomly chosen to settle the 'issue' as it stands. (clairification: poll and comment to be entered into the draw)
    Leave paint/ no paint as a checkout option, priced accordingly?

    A victimless crime is a term used to refer to actions that have been ruled illegal but which are argued not to directly violate or threaten the rights of any other individual.

    Nothing wrong with an ugly paint job for something that will have lead hurled at it as it's main purpose.
    I'd just offer them painted in red rust paint and let the client paint to taste if they so choose.
    Painting and shipping the day of...I'd rather paint it myself.
