the platform are guarded with stakes, while on 

 the ends there are hinged boards, made to turn 

 down and lock, to prevent the target from being 

 floated out and tampered with. It is a very 

 handy arrangement, as a target of this size is 

 awkward to carry to and from a storage place. 



If the target must be carried any distance 

 from where it is to be used, it may be made in 

 sections (Fig. 23), and the segments put to- 

 gether by means of bolts through two of the 

 bars (Z). In this case all ends of the tubes 

 must be capped or plugged, to keep out water. 

 The bullseye and air-tanks may be attached in 

 various ways. 



Under the target W (Fig. 22) attach a large 

 screw-eye, and to this make fast the center of 

 a suitable line. Attach snap-hooks to one part 

 of the line, say 60, 80, and 100 feet from cen- 

 ter of target. If the 6o-foot hook is made fast 

 to the ring on the platform, the other end of the 

 line is run through a pulley-block on a float an- 

 chored about no feet from the platform, then 

 back to the platform, where it is belayed. 

 When all contestants have finished casting at 

 60 feet, the 6o-foot snap is cast off, the yo-foot 

 snap attached to the ring on the platform, then, 

 by hauling on the other end of the line, the tar- 

 get is moved out to 70 feet, and so on up to
