Pro Shot 2.5" patches

[Randy Bohannon]

Having used these for a long time and a preferred patch for all things cleaning B/P guns. I have found they are getting harder to find, BACO used to be a good supplier seems the bore pigs are now the preferred method for cleaning. I bought some of those and was not impressed and found them more time consuming with all things considered.
Perusing the internet search function found 250 count of mentioned patches for 9 $ a bag shipping was $8 for 3 bags. The price on the last bags I bought was $15 plus tax.
For those who like the Pro Shot patches,this about as good of deal anywhere.

Randy I usually get mine from Midway, but it's hit or miss on whether they have them in stock or not.

Randy go to Walmart and get yourself a roller fabric cutter and their plastic cutting board, it has 1" squares marked on it https://www.walmart.com/ip/45mm-Rotary-C.../131880395 and go to the fabric counter and get a yard of 100% cotton flannel for about $3.50 a yard, I usually get 3-4 yards and cut your patches. I can cut several thousand patches in less than an hour.
I unroll the bolt of fabric and found it in 4 layers and cut strips the diameter I like using then I cut the strips into the square patches. It takes me less then an hour to cut up three yards.
I use a yard stick to hold the material down and make straight cuts on their cutting board.

Great idea Kurt, I will look into it after using the current order up. Don, I used to get them from Midway too but they have'nt had them in a while and Kurt's idea is the best alrernative I've heard,most everything else out there is not very good.

Grafs shows the bags of 500 pro shot patches in stock.

Randy this is how I cut the patches.

Kurt, I’m going to give this a try and by the time we get back to prairie country I should have a lifetime supply. But why the same old boring white when you spice things up with a variety of exciting bright colors? Same for paper patches, I think a red/white barber pole spiral would be eyecatching and perhaps improve gyroscopic stability?

Mike here you go, take your pick https://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Fabric-100...4108&psc=1 you might even find some prints of 1940 pinups LOL

Good idea, Kurt. My wife sews and has a cutter, ruler, and a big board like that. She said I could use her tools to cut the patches if I bought her some more match ammo for her .22 silhouette shooting. (Hmm this may cost me more than if I just order them from Midway.)

You should have thought of that when Midway-USA had the black friday sale on Norma match for $200. a case LOL.
