I've been using a cloth grocery bag to carry my paper targets to the range but they usually end up in a clump at the bottom of the bag, especially the reactive ones. Looking for some type of hard case to carry them in. Anyone have any recommendations? Been looking at Art Portfolio's but they are bigger than the 16x16 max size targets I use.
Thanks in advance!

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a leather pocketed portfolio at a Goodwill store (for a few bucks) and it has worked out well. Most of my target are on 8 x 10 stock, but the case will hold a little larger....don't know about 16" square, though.
The separate pockets allow separation of targets, from fresh through fired that you want to save. Here are some examples of what I'm talking about. Don't let the prices shown scare you off, look around. Also consider laptop totes (can get a little larger).

I usually roll them up and put them in my Tripod-Spotting scope bag which has some extra room. 300 yd. targets which are too large are rolled up with a really big rubber band or just left in the backseat of my truck until needed.

How about using a briefcase? You can find them pretty inexpensive. This one is on Amazon for about $25.

clip to a piece of cardboard. need something stiff to hold them flat.

If you're comfortable working with PVC, make your own easy as spittin'. Cut a length of 6 inch PVC a few inches longer than the width of your targets. Cement a closed cap on one end and a threaded cap on the other. I call it a map case. Roll up you targets and store 'em in the tube. You can store / carry plenty of targets and they'll roll out nice and flat. I carry standard NRA targets at 20 X 24 inches in mine - works like a charm.

Hey, I made a target holder out of a cardboard box. I cut one big enough for the targets to lay flat. Then I trimmed the other sides so they could fold onto the back. Slide the targets in, fold the front and sides together. I use a bungee cord that is basically a big rubber band, one of the ones that has the small plastic ball molded in. I’ve used it for years and the targets are flat so I’m not fighting with them to staple them up.
Take Care

I agree with Brundlseth. Second time I made a target tube I used the thin wall 4" pvc pipe, a cap and a threaded cap set. May I suggest to add 2 or 3 inches to the tube length beyond the longest target measurment to allow for uneven rolling of the targets. I had planned to put a handle on it, but found it rested securely on the range bag between the straps. Local hardware store sold odd lengths of pvc pipe so I do not have a large piece of pipe in the storage shed. Next was the camo paint that was left from another project. Looks nice until you drop it on the ground and easily overlook it. I would take a picture of the target tube, but this is day two after wisdom teeth (4) removal and the meds have made things tolerable, but my navigating to the loading bench is not on my care takers list of approved activities. She even saved my teeth for me. You will need to shake out the paper crumbs ever so often as they tend to collect in the tube when they fall off the used and abused target.

I seldom save targets and shoot steel targets firmly mounted, BUT when I was making varmint rifles as a large part of business, I kept targets on 3x5 cards in a wooden file box. For a time, I shot two cards at once to have a copy.

That's a good idea. 2 peices of 16 X16 single or double wall corrugated with the clamps used for thick documents would likely work. Odds are good enough, I'll give it a try.
