I was also thinking that I was going to try to tie 2 balloons in succession. Having a little bit of knowledge on anatomy, shooting and such, just because you shoot them in the chest - critical shot placement - that does not always stop them. Adrenaline is a very potent hormone. I have had the unfortunate knowledge that some times the heart / lungs know there has been critical damage, but with enough adrenaline, the brain may not care. 2 balloons = critical shot is #1 shot, stopping shot may be shot #2. Do this with your shooting partner (in my case my wife) and dont tell them when it is going to happen. Just like a realistic scenario, because sometime you dont know. Just a thought.

Maybe a chest and head shot? Or try the chest and the spinal cord shot as instructed on the last show that had the reactive training target?  Would make good practice.  Maybe usinig the "T Zone" referred in sniper shooting videos...

I caught the show tonight and really liked it.

Thanks for the practical advice and how to!

My only problem is that when I measured myself for the target size I need to know where to find refrigerator boxes  :-\  And maybe the Goodyear blimp for the balloon.
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Hey M58 I can't remember their name but there's a company in NY that buys up the old floating figures from the Macy's parade...that might work.
