old cd's set in a grove in a 2x4 so you are looking at the thin side cut it in 2  charcoal brickets hanging from a string cut the string real fun in the wind we have went to the welding store and and bought old gas cylinders that could no longer be used they are very thick and make a loud dong when hit (it has to be hanging ) if shooting after dark a candle in a box shoot out the candle do not hit it . a chain hanging from a tree workes good for a tie bracker  shooting at toose pops and try to cut the stick and not brakingthe toose popor the other way around cuting cards is a good one also.

we drill holes in a 2x4 to put a golf tee in and silicone a golf ball to the tee   first shot remove the ball- if gone second shot hit the tee- first shot a miss shoot ball again= hit 2x4 is minus points   love woodswalks- novelty shoots   always lots of peacock-in going on

Please post them Nault, I am just getting into a little cutting and welding so sounds like a project i might be willing to try....

Of course I started out with one of those kits that you can carry both bottles in on hand and already realized i wasted my money - Need bigger bottles!   ( Notice i said Bottles Not Jug!  ROFL, I already know I need a bigger Jug with the way people keep beggin to let them have a sip!)

 (susp) Badger let me know how the fax turned out, and if you have any questions, I apologize again for the rawness of the drawings. I would have done it on the computer but where it is concerned I'm still in diapers, much to the amusement of my son. rdfce rdfce

Try drilling holes in a 2x4 and place suckers, dowells or wooden matches in the holes. If you want to make it harder place the dowells at a 45 degree angle and make a verticle board for the matches so they stick out horizontally (give an extra point if they light the match).
Staple pieces of cotton string to a board (nylon won't break) and place the target at 5 yards. Cross the strings and give 2 points if they break them both. Glue poker chips to a board at 10 yds. Stick thumbtacks in a board at 7 yds.
Make the last shot about 125-135 yds at a 12-20 inch gong.
Be sure to include 2-3 easy shots so even the poorest shooters have a chance to hit something.

Got it just fine, now all i have to do is get some time to put one together!  I will copy your plans and type out the instructions and post it on the site for you as I have time!
