Thought you guys might like this toy I made for my kids. Its made out of scraps from some cedar fence pickets, a piece of 1/16" music wire, and some small plastic tubing. I'm not sure how to post the picture, as I don't see the aforementioned little tree symbol, but I will attempt to out it in the text via irl. If that doesn't work I will either edit the post, or add the photo with a comment.

I suppose I could explain a little bit in case it isn't obvious in the pic. You shoot the bottom 4 first, and they rotate around and hit the horizontal dowel. Then you shoot the top one, and it levers the dowel out from under the other 4 allowing them to fall back down into position. After I did a dry fit/test run I noticed that if you hit one of the end ones, it would teeter totter the dowel and the other end would flip back around, so I added the little one way things.

Thanks Ice Nine, I had fun making it, and the kids and I are having fun shooting at it.
