Anyone remember this blast from the past?

You hung a paper target on the back and as you aimed the gun and pulled the trigger a rod with a pointer punched a hole from the back of the paper thru to the front. We played this till our index finger bled then used the other finger. hahaha

Well, I have never seen one since either. Obviously it could not have been too popular.

It was a good training tool to get used to using the iron sites on the pistol. It never bust a large hole it was more of a needle hole but it gave a pretty good picture of shooting. The black center on the target took about 10 shots to completely remove it.

I don't know what made me remember it as it has been so long ago. It took me awhile to even google it as I forgotten what it was even called.

My grandfather had one of these he left to my cousin in Nova Scotia I was already in Montreal but when I went back to visit I found it in my cousin shed we were looking for helmets for the ATVs and found it I was soooo confused at first it was sooooooooo badly damaged and rusted out we knew don't bother even trying to shoot it but pretty cool toys back the day man being a 89 baby we didn't really get these cool things growing up in Montreal videogames started making its way in and slowly did the cool "dangerous" toys soon go away I remember my first slingshot glow in the dark bands on a wooden Y shape my uncle carved and never put it together just had to cut the holes for the elastics

Interesting you say your grandfather owned, it was likely his as a kid, who knows?

I'm not a grandfather only because I never had kids but I'm the age of one. My childhood friend at the time owned this and if my memory is correct, it could have been his dad's? My guess, and I could be wrong......This unit could be late 40's mid 50's.

I'm thrilled someone remembers it. :drinkers:
