Camouflaged Night Tacks

[+Birdsong-n-Bud]

Does anyone know where one can purchase reflective night tacks that are brown or gray in color (not white or orange) so they'll camouflage in the trees better than the white ones do?

The"Stealth" type of the firetacks are the ones, I think...

 

Clicky

Okay, thanks. Yipes...they don't come cheap.... $10 for 25 tacks, plus shipping. GULP!

 

Okay, here goes. I'm buyin'em.

 

If anyone else has a cheaper source, we'd appreciate suggestions, but we will be purchasing these mucho dollar tacks in the meantime. I never thought I'd see the day when I spent over ten bucks for 25 metal tacks, lol. What a person will do to prevent day finds, lol!

 

Thanks for the lead.

Add another $3.00 for the stealth ones.

GREAT!

You're not kidding. My total was $16.49. For 25 tacks!

 

For comparison, my 50 Bright eye reflective tacks were $2.00. But people found them in the day.

 

Yes, I think I'm truly addicted now.

I thought this sounded like a good idea at first but that's to expensive for those. I won't pay it.

 

there's got to be a better way.

 

Have you ever tryed those ones that look like a bread sack twist wire? I've never had a problem with people finding those. They have red and white.

I buy my stealth push pins in the sporting goods section of Walmart. They stock the shelves right before hunting season. Apparently the hunters prefer the stealth reflectors too because the stores often sell out each year and all that is left on the shelves are the white reflective tacks. I've purchased two types of push pins over the years. One was clear plastic with grey reflective material inside. Another brand was a square pin that was black on top with a dull white/grey material visible through the sides of the push pin. Don't remember the price but I don't think they cost much and there was plenty of pins in the box.

Edit: spelling

There's not a better way, there's a cheaper way. But the cheap ones are highly visible in daylight.
