I stumbled across this on the web:

It's a fairground attraction that takes a photo of the shooter every time he/she hits the target. This wouldn't be difficult to implement on a slingshot target. All you need is a microswitch connected with an audio jack to a camera wired trigger. Obviously, the camera would need to be protected behind a clear screen. it would take 10 minutes to make and 1 minute to set up on the day.
This could be done at tourneys and the photos combined into a roll of honour photo album.
What do you think? Has it been done?

In a real fight, at the height of their powers, Bruce would have punched Chuck's clock. Discuss. Using images only.
Target shooting glasses

I have made some target shooting adjustable iris safety glasses.
Such devices are sometimes used for target shooting disciplines that require iron sights because they offer several advantages:
They are functionally similar to Knobloch shooting glasses with an adjustable iris and left eye blinder, except for the additional benefits of:
Fully Stopped Down to 0.7mm for Daylight Shooting
Partly Stopped Down to 2.5mm for Indoor Shooting
Fully Open
Specifications:
Such devices are sometimes used for target shooting disciplines that require iron sights because they offer several advantages:
- Superior depth of field
- Both the fork tip and your target will be in sharp focus at the same time
- Your eye will not have to find focus
- Superior focus with or without spectacles
- Both the fork tip and your target will be in sharp focus at the same time
- Lower lighting levels
- Less eye strain in bright light
- Your iris sphincter and dilator muscles have less work to do
- Your ciliary muscles around the lens have less work to do
- Less eye strain in bright light
- No cross-dominance issues
- Only one eye can see
- If like me, your left eye is ordinarily dominant and draw the pouch under your right eye, it will avoid parallax
- No need to squint
- Only one eye can see
They are functionally similar to Knobloch shooting glasses with an adjustable iris and left eye blinder, except for the additional benefits of:
- Eye protection
- Greater range of iris adjustment
- More complete black out
- All matt-black internal surfaces to cut reflection from the face
- Restricted vision
- Loss of binocular vision and depth perception
- Reduced light transmission
- A bit Borg-tastic; other shooters will likely take the mick
