As a newer shooter that has not bought flags yet, this is an AWESOME post. It's little things like this that can show me different ways of doing simple things that you don't typically think about when you think of "Benchrest Shooting". I think of shooting, not transporting flags.
matters, as it does in my case owning a Ford Ranger, I ahae to try and keep all my storage cases/boxes as small as possible to fit in the truck and tool box.
This is the tool box I use to hold my wind flags. I can fit 8 flags inside. The top tray holds all the spare required hardware for my flags and stands that may be required in the field.
I also notice that no one ever mentioned protecting there balls.......
Well since I use a smaller tool box for my flags and have to alternate the way they fit into the box I have to protect the balls......
I use foam insulators that you use to keep your beer cold when enjoying a cool one. I went to the local craft store Michaels and bought them cheap like BORSCHT.
They serve as a duel purpose item.
The other tool box I have holds all my stands, stakes, bungee cords, Snuffy tails and miscellaneous spare stand and wind probe items.
I have 2 pieces of a redwood 2X4 attached to the bottom of the tote by placing scews with washers drilled in from the bottom. I then used a spade bit and drilled the 7 plug holes. I cut the aluminum and they are in place by a pressure fit. I did use a hammer to get them in. The groove on the top of each is to keep the flags from rotating. Hope this helps. If needed I can send you a pic of the tote sans flags........... Jan
