The shooting was limited to less than 180 degrees. I picked a few photos which show action but they may suggest a safety hazard. I can assure everyone there was no safety hazard at our range.

To ensure that there will be no hazards we are going to position shooter stands with side and top bars to limit movement/swing. To start we will set 3 shooting stands in a line 10 yards from the ring. The shooters will alternate shots.

For this test run the targets fell in front of the shooter (who in the photos is me). For those photos in which I am pointing up at perhaps an 80 degree angle to the ground, the target was past its apex and its way down. Had we had the 17 yard ring set up, a hit on those targets would have landed the tape outside of the ring.

-Shooter is 27 yards (sound familiar?) from the trap.
-Rings are 17 yards from the trap on 3 sides with the far side of the ring being 27 yards from the trap.
-The far edge of the ring is 54 yards from the shooter.

Clearly a You Tube video of this is needed...
