Lt That is the reason for the 1/4" dia hole, to allow the critter to move/spin around etc,on the 1/8" staple, not secured down solid.I got a set coming......LOLTia,Don
You can also buy full sets of silhouette targets on amazon:I have thought about mounting them on hinges, so they just fall backward when shot, arcade style. All thoughts, no action...
I’ve had to resort to stainless fishing leader. I was using twine but the pellet spall kept cutting it. I don’t shoot barnyard animals so I put the Ducks and the Boars on a shelf in front of my pellet trap. They are deposited inside the pellet trap by the shot. The down side is they do a bit of ricocheting around in the trap and it tends to beat them up some. I like Dan’s solution and may try a variation on it.
If my nylon cords get cut I'll replace them with some stainless fishing leader also, I have some of that somewhere.
dog tags on a chicken?
I keep my free range critters on a teather tied to a 1/2" washer painted orange.There are leash laws here....
The tiny nylon cords inside paracord is what I use. The extremely small diameter of these cords allow the small metal silhouette to sit perched on top of my 3/4" x 3/4" angle iron that makes up the frame of my spinner racks. I like your 1/8" aircraft cable idea as being the most secure method of tethering to a frame but this method will not allow the silhouette to sit on my narrow frame.
If you're going to put a leash on your chickens, why not just connect the other end of the leash to the stand instead of a tag (or whatever)? Then the chickens will just be hanging there, waiting for you to put them upright, instead of running all over the yard picking up targets like you're a...well...never mind... .....I wasn't going to say "chicken with your head cut off"....the couple of posts before mine seem to indicate the same kind of thinking.

The cable is a bit of a brick outhouse thing anyways... if a LOT is good then more is better Man I'd love to sit in your perch / open man cave and whack targets, look so comfortable.
