German Fairground Shooting Prizes 1970. A story behind these. I won them in 1970, when I lived in Ratheim in Germany. A fairground came to the town, I loved shooting so went to the shooting stall where they had BB guns. I could not seem to hit anything, but then worked out that they had very slightly bent the barrels, I made a guessed correction and started winning prizes. The second night I went back I found I was BANNED from shooting at the stall, I was only about 11 years old!! Fame at an early age!! This was just a small selection of the prizes, others seem to have gone missing over the years.
OMG petey these are great:)
