i stopped by the local walmart to find the parts needed for the diy targets (but they didn't have any of the components).

while walking around i also remembered that a few cats on the yellow forum were chatting about mounting a target onto an r/c vehicle. i found an ideal candidate for an experiment; a pretty decent sized r/c truck for $26. using one of those wire hangers from the dry-cleaners & a large rubber band & an old thank you card for a target; i cobbed up my version of a RCVTH (remote control vehicle target holder).
it's too dark & windy out now, i'll have to test it another time.

Is this to simulate a moving target ? i.e. one person drives, one shoots ??
Or ,is this a "can't be f'd walking 30 metres" device ??
Either way. I like it. It's fairly difficult to simulate a hare hauling a$$ in zig-zags.... this would be as close as you could get.
Actually, the only practice I've had shooting at a darting, zig-zagging hare,
is actually shooting at one ! And it's hard .... this would sharpen your skills nicely. |

| Neat idea. What kind of range can you get with the transmitter? |

ha! the initial design was to use the r/c vehicle to move the target to a specific distance to shoot. i never considered using it as an actively moving target to simulate a 'hare'. that got me to thinking...

(edit) the box it came is says the range is about 80 feet |
