Now if only we had an Ian.
A scrounger should never say “I don’t have any” until he’s searched behind every shed. I don’t have any chicken wire per se but I did find a roll-end of some stucco backing that had been out in the weather so long the paper was pretty much rotted away. A little clean-up and it’s nice stout wire.
I’ll put some clothespins in the new range box, and try it with paper targets. Seems like a pretty good idea, and considering how little use the poor thing has gotten in the past few years it might well last forever.
Just reas “the power of the dog” by kipling. Made me think of LB
Keep some spare pieces of the “chicken wire” and a bunch of tie wraps. When you end up cutting several of the wires, cut a “patch” that’s somewhat larger than the damaged area, and anchor it to the good wire with the tie wraps.
Of course, at some point, the wire may get so shot up that it’ll need to be replaced, but until then…
