The original 'clock'



Which was cut in half to avoid the chicken houses in the background on right. I think Dean has a pic of what is left of the houses.



As skeet fields were built in a line, the targets were changed to be thrown at a 15 degree angle to protect shooters in the adjacent fields, and spectators - see Dean's first post skeet field diagram.
