[Archers] rat shoot

[Groff, Garth (ggg9y)]

Noble friends,

I may be in the minority, but I don't use duct tape on targets anymore. That gum is really hard to get off arrows, and the tape itself can cling to points and rip them from their shafts.

Does anybody have ideas for other materials we can use?

Yours Aye,

I've used pool noodles that worked as rats.  Cut up the thin noodles into sections, wrapped them in black duct tape, gave them whiskers and a tail.  They worked pretty well.  I'd put them at various distances in a few different positions.  Keep them back at least 10 yards or so.

Should be fun!

we are thinking of a moving rat shoot at Assessment

questions for those who have done this

what distance
what size rat
how many
moving parallel or toward archers
does the first arrow pin the rat to the ground and stop movement, making easier to hit
all rats on one rope or one rope for each
