Sarah, I have spent a lot of fun time shooting at Dandylions in my backyard lawn. use Either blunts or field points. The filling plastic feed sacks with plastic works really well, I've done that for years till my Wife got me a Block target. Enjoy, Frank

I'm glad to hear about the cat wearing a bell.  They can devastate local songbird populations if left unchecked.

I know it!

Not that this particular cat needs it. He's never killed a thing. He has been awfully good at procreating though... (thanks to an irresponsible owner)

Anyway, thanks for the great suggestions! I'm sure I can work something out.

I was pretty sure the "cat" JStark referred to, was a solid object.  Hmm
