    Just thinking. Why do we always have to have targets that are orange, orange, orange, orange, orange?

    Sheesh. How about random colors? I can imagine the fun talk under the beer tent. I had a 97 going and got a dirty target or a yellow one. Damn couldn't find it.

    Isnt that the way it is in the woods? The grouse that is hard to see. The albino deer that jumped out and you peed instead of shot. You are hunting a lion and one of those cats with sports ate you.

    Could be we need a female target. Don't shoot that one. It's a hen. Penalty! Letter of apology.

    We used to mix color when we shot games , greens birds were beers , white usually at night, yellow for coffee or a soda ... Its actually good for your game because you are ready for anything and pay attention ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Can't see orange for squat. Wish would go back to black. No lens color helps with orange. See green and pink fairly well. ANYTHING besides orange. Eyes cannot be fixed. Just glad can see anything anymore. Old sucks!!!

    On the games we have a "white bird" option for $1. We would mix in a white bird every once in a while - break the white bird and you win $20. Like WPT said it makes you pay attention - 75 orange dome targets come out then one white one - you gotta pay attention.

    -----------White bird has always been a beer bird at our chicken shoots --It would be great fun to have a colored penalty bird --- Great idea

    That could add to the long list of excuses as to "why I missed the bird". By now I think I have heard them all. A new excuse could be entertaining.

    Where I shoot they can be orange, green or what ever the management can buy cheap. All stacked together. One never knows what's coming out.

    I hate black and love orange. I don't like the black-rimmed target, a bit.
