This kite was found tucked in a corner in a dark shed at a local estate sale. I bought it for $2. It was badly torn and crumpled but it had the frame and seemed more or less complete. It was washed in a kitchen sink and laid flat to dry. Using a tent repair kit ,Tenacious Tape and glue for fishing waders, here it is. I replaced the grommets too. I say “good enough.”

Very nice. What would they have shot at it?

.30 caliber I assume.
