I had to post this shot from the trad-only shoot that the Prairie bowmen club put on a few weeks agoe.This was by far my son's favorite target of all.The drum is mounted to a pull trailer,and you shoot four targets while in motion......and my son rolled through it like a champ.
   A true memory maker.

One local club had gone a different direction with something similar but mounted on a huge coil spring... staying on it was a chore, drawing and shooting while stayin balanced was an absolute HOOT!

Looks like fun.  

Some years ago ARTAC (Amite River Traditional Archery Club near Baton Rouge) had a gorilla on a trapeze.  It was a stuffed gorilla suit mounted across a small hollow.  The gorilla swung down the hill and back up toward you.  It was a great target to shoot at.

They also had an alligator that rushed out of the water broadside in front of you.  It was slingshotted on a piece of gum stock cord.  Cool target.

Yeah, I've done similar types of things like that before. It is great fun and makes you want to shoot that target over and over again. Let's see the compound guys try that!

Looks very much like something I'd fall off of and shoot straight up in the air.   :scared:   A horse or mule hasn't been made that I can't get pitched from.

Great idea. I know when I was that age there is no way I could stay off it.

Looks like a fun target, hopefully your insurance would cover any accidents. If not the officers of the club could be liable if someone is injured.

The Maya Stickbow Classic out of Rocklin/Roseville California has a canoe paddle down a narrow creek where you shoot at several targets. Great Fun. Yours looks similar! Great Picture.....
