We've added what is probably one of the hardest targets yet in our with the Scouts in camp. It's simple, a marshmallow on a fondue stick. Try hitting it offhand sometime.


The marshmallow targets are the specks at knee level.

Here I'm demonstrating loading a musket just prior to beginning work on marksmanship. We had a number of kids that could hit the marshmallows with the muskets.

I remember at a Rendezvous one time. the gentleman in charge of a certain shoot had forgotten his targets.
He wandered into a swamp and picked a bunch of cat-tails for targets, we laid on our back and rested the barrel between our toes.
The cat-tails simply exploded when hit, that was probably my most favorite fun shoot.
I ended up second, but of course that was some 40 years ago and I could still see pretty well.
