Fantastic pictures and a great link to that AGW article, thanks Geezer
I just downloaded the magazine from the AGW digital archive and Ill read it later,

I just can't seem to get enough bell target history it's so fascinating because it was never really a thing up here and it's still relatively unknown/ ignored despite the skill and challenge involved in participation.

[EDIT]
A fellow wearing a big white hat in the middle of the crowd looks like Donald Sutherland in the top picture
