how much training time do you spend blowing and placing balloons versus shooting? Do you pre fill them and have bags of them on hand?
I shoot steel all the time; it is a great feed back tool for training and you can run near constant relays of shooters w/ no cease fires or time running down to look at targets. Juts paint them a couple times per day. More time training and shooting.
the targets we use hook into the stand to angle them downward for safety.
