Target B. Consists of a portable gallows having two or more dummy targets.

Target C. Consists of a portable gallows the same as Target A, having a dummy target with the stick protruding to the front to represent the opponent's bayonet.

Construction of Gallows

The gallows for targets A, B, and C is constructed as shown in the plate. Two standards are made as indicated and joined together by pieces of 2×4 of the desired length at A and B. For Target A this length should be about 6 feet; for Target B at least 5 feet should be allowed for each dummy. Where more than two targets are hung the top cross piece had better be a 4×4 instead of a 2×4.
