I remember Paul, Brad and myself target pulling at the 303 rifle club (now Place of Happiness). We were even allowed to take a few shots ourselves. I remember not being ably to move my arm for a week after experiencing the recoil of those rilfes.

Odd that we never ended up shooting one another...

Unlike on the squash courts where we seldom pass a game without you or Kondjeni trying to remove a body part with a ball... (I do however accept some responsibility being a bigger target now than I was then!!)

Mike, you bugger, I remember the first time you roped me into target pulling, I was supposed to get 20 bucks and was going to use the money to buy mom a gift from the Fancy Goods (remember that dept. in the shop), it was a small Zulu shield with knob Kierrie and spear to match, then you schnooped me out of my cash and only gave me 5 bucks... bwaa haaa but I told mom and she made you give me the cash... ha haaaaaaaaaaaa, I still think I should get interest

What fun, the 303 rifle range pulling targets,once we where allowed to shoot with the uzi`s. A brent gun was also used and blasted holes thru the target.Good way to make money

O.K. so I didn't do Uzi's and target pulling but here's me in action. Needless all the terrorists were shot in the feet.

Diana the second pic looks like you are praying. Did you shoot someone and praying that they were not seriously injured

Not exactly target pulling, but this is what happens when the string on the bow slips from your fingers before you actually intended it to, and hits you with about 70pd impact.  I'm telling you  - was it not for other people around I would have cried ...   EINA EINA EINA
