Zapp Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Wouldn't surprise me if it was bell target. There used to be lots of local leagues. I used to shoot in one 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d ask him but he’s a miserable old *** 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
