The real fun off ticket were the 'Bell Target' competitions. Run in many pubs in the North and Midlands it involved shooting 0.22" rifle, (before long rifle) CB and BB caps across the pub floor to hit a bell which was behind a small hole in a steel plate. I bet it was interesting after a few drinks! I have never seen it but I am told it was as popular as darts. It still continues with air rifles.

My Grand-father was one of the best in the county of Herefordshire back when he was a young man, unfortunately my eldest cousin inherited the fob watch he had adorned with his shooting medals.
