I mentioned this idea to Rich Bassett who runs the shoots in Delran and he
is going to make up some of these for Delran. Delran is in N.J. and the
soil is very sandy,so this should help the stability and mounting of the
targets there a lot. I got so carried away I voluntered to help him set the
course the day before the shoot..
