Garry, the "score" would be when the wire ring sprang loose from the target.
I read an article that the tin target lost popularity because of poor flight in windy conditions...

Thanks, Randy. I knew from talking with you that you must be avid collector of trap artifacts, but I never dreamed your collection was as extensive as it obviously is. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and those wonderful photos with us.

Do you still have that Baker stocked with that wonderful piece of wood? I still see that gun in my mind's eye.
