Ran across an article in a 1955 company magazine.
To prevent hunters looking for a target to "Zero in" their gun sights from shooting up their signs they created these?

Unfortunatley alot of signs looked like targets.. esp 30" round ones. My Avatar is a great example!

Some pretty good shots, but then again there's no way of knowing how many missed the target completely.

Someone or a few are pretty good, driving backwards & hitting the speed limit sign [more hits from backside than on front]!
