Fig. 212.—The Completed Toy Shooting Gallery.
This interesting toy, with its funny animal targets, and a harmless pistol with which to shoot at them, will provide an endless amount of fun for a winter's evening or stormy afternoon.
[Figure 212] shows the completed toy, and [Fig. 213] the box that forms
The Framework. The targets can be arranged to suit the form of box that you find, and the number may be increased or decreased to suit the space.
Fig. 213.—The Box Framework.
The right position for the box is upon its side so its open top forms the front of the target box ([Fig. 213]). The horizontal piece A ([Fig. 213]) is fastened between the ends of the box, to support targets. It is held in place by nails driven through the box ends into its ends. If your box is much larger than the one shown in the illustration, you can provide two crosspiece supports for targets, instead of one.
The Circular Target should be drawn upon a piece of cardboard with a compass, or, by marking around a cup or small saucer to make the outer circle, marking around a can cover for the second circle, and a coin for the center circle. Blacken the outside and center rings with ink, or by rubbing with a soft pencil.
