    Fucking dangling modifiers. I thought they were saying that they manufactured targets using a pendulum-like device. I kept reading that statement thinking it was such an oddly specific detail to vaguely reference. But using a pendulum to ensure consistent force and accuracy makes sense.

    Although, for my money, I’d rather strap a dead hand to a rocket-powered sled.

      Yes, it was very badly constructed. I had to read it a couple of times to decode it, and I have the advantage of having graded essays :)
