The Shooting Gallery
Or should that be shuting, shuteing, chuteing or chuting? Anyway, it's a perrenial favourite so I thought I'd stick as much info as possible in one place, just for the novelty value. If you see your board linked to here and don't want it to be, please contact me. More importantly, if you have a fine example of your own out there in the Virtual Workshop that you think deserves to be included, yell!
