I've run a version of this exact target, except the V was inverted in mine ;)

Do you know any history about how this type of target came into existence? Why did the choose this shape instead if a circle or square?
 
Now that you gave me an idea, I've produced a set of targets for the more experimentally minded. I had to stop when I started hearing zithers playing in the background.

“One ball hits the target
And one ball misses small
But the ball your mama casted
Won’t hit any thing at all
Just ask the range master
Who is six feet tall”

Many decades ago, there was a mini series called Centenial. It was about a western city, probably in one of the northern Rocky Mountain states, and how it progressed from wilderness and trappers to a modern city. It had a couple episodes on the trappers and mountain men. I think that Hollywood really tried to replicate how these men really lived. In one episode it portrayed a rendezvous that appeared very HC.
"Cenntenial" portrayed in Colorado (which after the show ran a town actually changed name to Cenntenial ! with Pasquinel and McKeag as the mountain men.

Let me see, there was ‘Zen and the art of Motor cycle maintenance’ , so maybe we can have a ‘teachings of Don Juan and muzzleloading accuracy’

That was a great series, especially the first few episodes which dealt with the fur trapping era. Robert Conrad ( wild Wild West) played Pasquinel, a French fur trapper. You are absolutely correct on that rendezvous scene was great. Art

AP, I just found the series on youtube and I think I will watch the early episodes again. The later ones kind of lost my interest.
