    Have you guys ever seen targets like this?

    When I was a kid my dad was stationed in Germany. Our neighbor was an avid shooter and he gave me a bunch of targets like this. I never seen them again since. Were they used for any kind of special purpose or just a random target? http://imgur.com/7ucLvkU

    They are just fun or hobby targets, still popular in Germany now, shot on holidays and festivals, look on www.Krueger-target.com

    ahh ok. It's nice having different targets, especially color targets. 10m black targets do get old

    I've seen these used in fairgrounds years ago. You have to shoot the heart without touching the edge and they weren't using FWB or Walther

    So basically, near impossible to win that game.

    Yep, I remember trying to win a girlfriend a cuddly toy at a fair by shooting at those targets... with the bent barrels and wobbly sights, it was pretty much impossible...
