<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>OK,
here's some ideas I have yet to build, but want to and
will......</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>First
imagine a circle with two quarters/pie shapes cut out that oppose each
other. Thus the reamining part appears as a butterfly. Behind that
is the target. The butterfly rotates alternately hiding and exposing the
target. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Yeah,
OK, but.......</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Option
two, or improvement depending totally upon your degree of sickness. The
target is also on a wheel that rotates in the opposite direction of the
butterfly. Thus when the target is exposed it is NOT exposed in the same
position each time.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Yeah,
OK, those who shot SAAD5 realize my mind needs professional help. So
here's an idea I got while watching Lion King in London. Yeah, even then
I'm thinking about archery! I really need help!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>In the
play they had a "herd of antelope" crossing the stage. OK, so they were
not real antelope. What they were was antelope figures mounted on rods
that were attached to wheels that an actor wheeled across the stage. Now
the real beauty is that these antelope rods were attached on the wheel in a
manner that the antelope acted much like it was attached to a cam. Thus
the antelope actually loped across the stage. Yes, the target (antelope)
would not only be moving up and down but also forward and backward as the wheel
moved. Now I have some folks in mind to push this contraption but due to
SCA rules I can't use them thus (I "might" miss...............on purpose) the
targets would be attached to rods attached to a stationary wheel that rotates
causing the target to move up and down AND waggle sideways at the same
time. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Then
there is the three ring shot. Imagine three rings spaced on a rod/board
about three feet long. The rings have a piece of paper in them and
the whole thing rotates horizontally. The objective is to shoot one shaft
that passes through all three rings.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Option
on the above idea - A frame/box that rotates alternately hiding and exposing the
target. I was gonna do this one for this last SAAD but just ran out
of time to build it.</FONT> </SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>Then
there is the rotating tube that you must shoot through to hit the target.
Homey did this for us in the woods walk last SAAD. My sick "improvement"
is to have that tube rotate.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2
face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=218581221-05052011><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face=Arial>I
warned you it would be diabolical but if you have ever shot a SAAD when I was
MIC you all ready knew that!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Sickfried?, set up a shot at Kingdom Archery Championship where you had to shoot
through a rebar grid!! "Hey, is that Siegfried over there selling arrows
and bolts?"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
