Robin,

Good point but looks can be deceiving. The shooting was limited to less than 180 degrees. I picked a few photos which show action but as you point out may suggest a safety hazard. We are going to bring up shooter stands with side and top bars to limit movement. To start we will set 3 shooting stands in a line 10 yards from the ring. The shooters will alternate shots.

For this test run the targets fell in front of the shooter (who in the photos is me). For those photos in which I am pointing up at perhaps an 80 degree angle to the ground, the target was past its apex and its way down. Had we had the 17 yard ring set up, a hit on those targets would have landed the tape outside of the ring.

Clearly a You Tube video of this is needed...

Thanks!
Mark
