WANTED: Target balls

[Altom]

Greetings everyone i just want to put it out there that i am interested in any old glass target ball anyone may have. For now i am only interested in finding out what is currently available right from the community itself. So please send me a message or post on here, whatevers best if you have any you'd be willing to part with. Thanks for your time I hope to be hearing that there's alot more out there than what i can see on ebay and such.

Well Allelxander, I have some but they are sure tough to find and mine are up north right now. If I find them I will get back to you later this summer. I also have some information books on the subject. They have raised in price to the point that I haven't looked too hard since my initial study over 20 years ago.

There was a shooting range about three miles from my home as a kid, so I hunted for them in the grass along with a lot of clay pigeons. The thing that fascinated me about them early on, was that they were bursted-off the blow pipe and left rough, because no one put them in their mouth.

Hey Altom,
I have only found one, so, at this point I'm keeping it. But if you're interested in the adventure, check out this link to the forum...
