The illustration shows a front elevation of a novel shooting gallery target with the front removed. Make a square box, say 2ft. square and from 4 in. to 6in. deep; have a circular hole about 9in. diameter in the centre of the box. Cut a grotesque head of zinc from 4 in. to 6in. in diameter: extend the shoulder and neck downwards a few inches, having a pivot A of wood or iron through the neck, the bearing being at each side of the box, so that the head will be in the centre of the box. Attach a piece of stout wire to the bottom of the neck piece, and, so that it swings as a pendulum in a slot in the bottom C, fasten a piece of lead B to the bottom. A bird or any animal may be made to work the same as the head.

Grotesque Target for Shooting Gallery.
