Ya know what image that particular target conjures up in my (twisted - lol) mind?
Mounting 5 of them on a length of board, with a single reset cord - it would be just like settin' up a row of tin cans, but without having to walk down to set 'em all back up on the board all the time. :)



10 cans in the form of a pyramid would be fun as well... LOL
A condensed version match... :angel:

DUDE ... Where's my BULL ;) -LE ?  ???
 Rock-E is @ 8" tall, if you could make me a Moose to pair em up I'll be two thirds towards a F.T. lane. That last idea was all right, but if I could get a different one with a set of reducers: maybe a Full-frontal Head-Shot ?? You know, an 8" tall head-only would almost be to scale.
 K-Z up between those antlers ?
 Call it a commission, If You Build It, I WILL Buy.

 Eh,? - What'ya say? Let me know.

Using your artistic talents put together the sketching and I'll do the etching....
The theme lane you're thinking of should be a fun one to shoot.....  8)

Just finished the balancing act of making this target go down with 5fpe at the Kill Zone and stay up with face hits of >20fpe. By far one of the trickiest to date. This FT is ready for paint...  :o
12" tall from top to bottom and almost 8" wide with 1" KZ...

I found this image that would be perfect for making a MOOSE AND SQUIRREL combo, - with a Belly KZ for a reducer set. ( Had to nix the head shot idea, not logical re: his features, - unless it was a non-reducer target & the KZ was a Nostril.)
 He,s standing the correct way in this pic, & if the pull-up pin was around his knees, feet just above the pivot pin of the faceplate, & he was, say 9" tall , it would scale well enough with my SQUIRREL.
 Now just to look for the right B-Bad'nuff pic  & save a few bucks, I COULD have a theme-lane ! (one at a time for now)  ;)
Cheers -PK :)

BTW- I,ve seen that Cobra in the works for a bit now, excellent job etching it alone, glad you got it balanced out.

 It's gonna Look AWESOME with paint, & maybe also one of those ones that you either don't wanna part with &/OR Don't wanna shoot.
 Sorry, :'(  - just glad it aint me..

 I shut up now  :-X

I'm looking forward to seeing what pic you came up with....

Not sure how I'm going to approach the painting of that Cobra, bristles or air? ...  ::hmm)::  either way, it's going to be awhile ...

Made time to add some color. Not totally sure, but I'm leaning toward leaving this FT just the way it is..

Thanks fellows!

Sell it or keep it?... I've decided to hang on to the King Cobra, at least for now.... 

Cheers!

 That's a keeper for sure. 8) Mind you. Everything has it's price. ;) For that beauty it should be fairly substantial. >:D
