Tactical drapes?

made some walls for our range, for use in IDPA matches, including 2 with openings. had some material leftover, so i made drapes that can be installed or removed without tools very quickly in case an opening is not needed.

open:

A thing, despite being black in colour, cannot be 'tactical' without there being some Velcro involved. snicker.
Velcro comes in assorted widths that can be stapled in place. And sewed onto the mosquito net. I'm thinking across the top.

eh, velco makes noise, and wears out. just put the 2x2 over the top, the other hangs down to keep it taut. easy to install or take off, silent, no tools required.

No need for Velcro, just post an instructions sheet using words like 'operational ', or 'deployed '.

Bonus points if you work in 'Tango' or 'Charlie '.

Definition of 'tactical' is black with Velcro closures. Just like my $12 Chinese made runners.
"...eh..." Where'd you say you're from? snicker.
