ideas

There have been lots of good ideas on here in the past; here's a few, Bionic Buck (silouette of a deer cut in 1/4 steel with a hole in the kill), shoot through center of a cd at 20yds, put a small target in a dog cage.

10 speed rim attached to a electric motor by a belt , the put clays on the spokes. put two hay bales stacked up so you can only see the top of the rim , and the whole clay.

Take a javlena 3-d target , insert a steel rod in the belly. attach it to a electric motor so it spins in a circle. put a red dot on the kill zone.

I really like the bicycle rim idea . . . might have to build that. I guess you could use and electric motor from just about anything. What kind of belt do you use?

a belt from any auto would work,(just gotta figure out the length you need) , junk yard item. probably get most of it there for next to nothing.

thanks for the ideas. I like the bike rim idea.
We had thought of something like a styrofoam balls (the kind you get in craft stores) of various sizes and the size gets smaller each round. Have to hit the ball to stay in the shoot.
Also, maybe a broadhead shoot at a balloon from various distances with a block target as a backstop.l

i have played tic tac toe. you just put up a # outline on the target. you can also buy oversized paper dart board targts. you can make a picture of a person on a target with an apple on its head hit the person your out, hit the apple you get a piont, miss and you get nuthing

 

[Mark250]

Tic-tac-toe, hole in plywood to shoot threw, helium balloons on a remote controlled car that they have to hit. Put a target out about 90 yards and see who comes the closest to center. Speed round at shooting styrofoam blocks off of a board at 20 yards.

All you need is a vacuum cleaner. Many people use a shopvac because it is easy to hook the hose up to the outflow. The only problem is the airstream is consistent enough that the ball isn't all that hard to hit. If you use a shop vac, put a thumb tack or two in the ball to make it wobble.

Alternatively, use an older sweeper that has a less consistent motor so the ball bobs up and down a lot.

To build this you can really just use a carboard box and cut a hole in it to hold the hose nozzle. Float the ping pong ball in the air stream and shoot away!

That is a good idea too . . . I've often thought of having the top hot shots set aside their fancy bows and using the Genesis bows we have for our JOAD for a novelty. That could add a whole new element!

Reminds me of the Redfish tournament a couple years ago when they made the pros fish for 1 hour with Sponge Bob Square Pants zebcos. LOL!

what about a dunk tank. set it up so the target to be hit is a safe distance away from the tank.

You know . . . I saw a dunk tank at a carnival the other day called "Rage in a Cage". The clown (he was dressed like one) in the cage would mericilously harass the throwers.

I was thinking if you could work out either some sort of electronic signal so that the tank could be triggered electronically by hitting a target down range, or build the tank with a really thick plexiglass shield to protect the person in the tank . . . could be fun.

First, get rid of those "training wheel" bows :wink:
Second, get a few recurves and longbows.
Third, place a sticker the size of a quarter on a target 25yrds down range.

Whoever wants to shoot, puts in a quarter to the pot. One arrow per shooter. First shooter who hits the sticker, wins the pot. After a round, nobody hits the sticker, then start over....another quarter in the pot for another arrow!!
