I have seen photos from the gun site academy as well as some PH training in Africa of buffalo targets that are rigged up on a pulley system to simulate a charge.

Has anyone here made one or see one well enough to know what would be needed to make one?

Pretty easy to rig up a lateral motion moving target. Telephone poll or tree, steel cable, and trolley system. Same set up for one coming at you. They work ok. You need a lot of elevation on pole, a hill helps.
The rail systems are very expensive.
The systems that are motorized that are cheaper run about $600. They will only work with cardboard.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
