Seems my buffalos took one to many hits and is now wounded. For the EM rifle game experts out there how would you repair this? My guess is that it would have to be a repair that wouldn't effect the weight too much...

Appreciate your time and help in advance!

Ohemio,
Sorry I can't offer any help with this issue,
But wanted to say how cool a line up of games I think you have. I'm an em enthusiast myself, and hope to learn more, and add more games (like yours) soon.
Something about the sound of those em games makes me smile.

I haven't tried it but was thinking you could use a small section of fibreglass matt and resin to repair the buffalo. You can normally buy a small fibreglass repair kit from hardware stores.

regards Derek

I don't know... the pictures are so small and my eyes are so bad I can't really see it. I fix things like that all the time but would need a bigger pic to see the best course of action.
 
Sorry Karetaker I'll try to post some additonal pics. Pics size restrictions on the site make it difficult to post larger pics.

Derek that's a good suggestion may try it. This happened due to wear to the rubber grommet the animal post hits when it flies up. It was hitting metal and therefore caused too much forced on the animal itself.

Cullen glad I can share...and will continue to do so as my restoration season is nearing. I estimate end of October before I start back up (after I wrap up all the honey-do projects) around the house. Your right there's something about an EM game, the bells, the score reels, the lights, the bells.

Brings me back to another place and time - really an escape from reality for a bit...
