    Safe shooting distance for roundballs and steel targets?

    One question would be, is the steel target fixed? Or on a chain or swivel. I have found that a swinging target will move and change the angle, so 25 yards is good for me. I also use one of those revolving steel targets, and I don’t have available to me any fixed steel targets.

    Old designs with modern materials legal?

    Hello there! I was wondering if it is possible and legal to talk about old designs for a possibles bag with alternative materials? Living in a rainforest, leather tends to have issues with the continued rainy wet. Canvas tends to be floppy for a possibles bag. Thanks, Mark from Alaska
