Need to know if this would be practical.
Materials:
PVC pipe
some sort of air blower
ping pong balls
cheap paint
some place outdoors to shoot
the ability to make berms and such.
Lay the pipe out in the pattern you want cover with dirt. At each shoot point have one pipe set vertically. Place this in a mound of dirt to protect it from misses.
Set up the pipes so that the air blower can push a ping-pong ball through the entire length of pipe.
The idea is as the shooter approches a shoot point a ping-pong ball will shoot out of the vertical pipe and then the shooter needs to determine if it is a shoot or no shoot ball.
This would be done by painting the balls different colors (or buying them that way) so that white is shoot but blue is no shoot etc.
Some other questions: Would this be good training? If not there is no reason to build such a thing.
Would there be a way for the RO to control which pipe the ping-pong ball is going to come out of without adding a lot of expense? Some sort of valve set up is what I am thinking. Can it be done? If so it would be good to have multiple pipes at one shoot point so that the shooter does not know where the ping-pong ball is coming from next.
Is this feasible?
Thanks,
