Just for some background (I'm glad DavidR is on our)

The very first time we used these targets for live fire was at Ft. Campbell Kentucky (summer 1983). We were flying some left over airplanes that we had used for contract qualifications (they were already beatup). A group of National Guardsmen/Guardsmen were firing in groups of 20-30 with M-16s mostly short bursts. They refer to this as massed fire. We only flew two flights, the first flight lasted until fuel ran out (airframe only had a couple of hits in it).

The second flight we flew for the groups .50 cal machine guns, on the second pass the .50s found the target, foam rained down to the cheers of all.

Anybody that can hit one of these with a paintball or potato gun at more than 20-30 foot range is O.K. by me, GOOD HUNTING!
