Use rice cakes or make patties out of flour. Either would simply be food for the birdies. The rice cakes don’t have a lot of mass so would not fly very far nor roll too great. The flour patties could be made substantially heavier but either would still be animal edible.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I have thought of a system that would “deliver” kid’s rubber balls from a ramp. Pull a cord and one gets released to roll down the ramp either across the shooting line or towards/away from the archers. The next ball would then be staged for release next time the cord is pulled. This way the whole thing could be loaded with several balls each delivered one at a time. I live next door to a kiddie care center and the kiddies throw their balls over the fence all day long. We used to take them back but the adults (?) at the center don’t seem to care much. So I just started collecting them…….. I know, MEAN cog. Hey, it’s what I’m known for………………….
