Regular household abs/pvc piping can be used for swingers and wall frames and all you have to do is glue it together.

Check out youtube vids of the Quebec Provincials, if they're out there.
The guys do amazing things with wood, hinges, bolts and eye hooks.

And just to tease you, this will run away from you as well, left or right and can be setup for 16 or 24 foot runs. Depending on how you place the target stand.

You make them and I'll sell them via the store See you tomorrow if there aren't any serious issues here.

"...keep it interesting..." As daft as it sounds, balloons on a string with a fan moving 'em(indoors) are fun, cheap and easy to clean up. They tend to move erratically too.

Don't ask. I will probably be late but I will be there.

I love it. My son is feeling ok about it as well as he is now sporting a new skateboard out of the deal. How much to make it? We could do more. If we can get the doors hung we could rig it so opening a door triggers the mover to begin his run toward the shooter.

Just think now 30 adults can enjoy 1 skate board. Cost was $45.00 to make, not including the skateboard parts.
