This always seemed to be a pretty good challenge.

Wow. I haven't seen one of those targets in a long time. I remember growing up as a kid in Central NY, there was the Sunshine Fair in a little city named Cobleskill. Every year, the carneys had a small target booth setup using this target. They had pneumatic "tommy guns" that shot these really small bb's in full auto. You had 75 bb's in the "magazine" and had to shoot the star out at 5 feet. I used to try drawing a circle around the star, then take the last few rounds and punch out the middle. That worked a few times but more often then not, I'd mess something up. The "gun" wasn't accurate at all and the spray pattern at 5 feet was massive...lol. been 40 years since I've done anything like that.

I can make this one be a good distraction for me with the divorce and all. Got some ruger mkii's first gun I bought when I got to the states and a number of others . I'll bring the sparrow I've got a number threaded for it too.

Lost a lot of money trying to do that at the Tulsa State Fair while I was in high school. I was so mad at myself for letting that get to me. I finally confessed to dad what I had done. He explained a little bit of life to me that day in one sentence.

So I'm in. Trying to convince my roommate to join us. That way I can carry more rifles. :-D

So I'll have the Gill-guns, the Ithica X-5, Mossberg 51m, and maybe a few bolt action Savages.
