Foot Markers - even purple!

A tip for really inexpensive foot markers.

Tesco 1 litre plastic milk bottles currently come with a range of different colored tops, which are approx 2 inches in diameter. Simply cut the rim off the top, to leave a circular plastic disk, pierce a hole in the centre of the disc and insert a target pin - voila, one foot marker!

Semi skimmed are green, full skimmed are red, banana milk has yellow and guess what? Chocolate milk has purple tops!

Purple foot markers for the purple mafia!

markers you put in the floor so you can place your feet in the same place each time you return to the line

I am just starting back to shooting after a long lay off but my foot markers are going to be quite cheap. Golf Tees. Then it doesn't matter if I leave them in the ground when I finish. They only cost a few pence.
