Have not tried this because I need a larger backstop.  Use the little old style plastic army men in two different colors.  They're small, so I'm thinking about 15-18yrds max.  Strategically place them high, low or whatever.  Last man with troops standing wins.  The prone figures are very difficult.

Yeah! My first shot at the CD did'nt go so well ... for the CD that is. The hit was high and right, resulting five small pieces and one larger piece laying on the ground. Sorry no pics of the mess, the wife's got the camera at work.

Leo, I think it was fading at the floating ping pong ball. I haven't tried this one yet.
I was having a blast with it though.

I'm going to have to try the cd shot with my cane arrows also! Good to see this back up. Robert, we have some simular things in life, I was a meat cutter in my younger years, kind of miss it! And the story you told to shakes, my cousin and I did the same with my aunt's and dad's old records from the fifties! Man those babies could fly... Good shootin, Steve
