Nice old thing but thas a lot of conkers!

My copy of the Webley target is now completed. What became apparent during the build is that the illustration in the original advert cannot be correct when using the Webley No1 target. The picture shows the target sat within the horseshoe so that the bottom of the target sits or rests on the inner edge of the horseshoe. This cannot be unless you were to cut down every target as there is simply too much target card below the roundal,it is going to show by quite some degree. Was this perhaps one of the reasons it as some people suggest didn’t go into production? I doubt it as it’s easily overcome but food for thought.

Will try and add some photos of the completed target if I can work out how
