    We used to use tires and use them perhaps half way toward a target and make everyone shoot arrows through the tire in order to hit the target. Had some fun with that. Also works great if you have a small hill that is not too steep. Tape a balloon inside a tire and roll it downhill and let people shoot the balloon. It helps to have an atv or something to retrieve the tire from the bottom though.

    I guess there is something missing as I don't understand the above quotes.

    My wife is a bit of a neat freak and I believe that yard would drive her crazy...As most of the members on this site also do, we live on a little acreage and it seems like some people think it is great to keep every car, washer, toilet, fridge, tire, wheel, water tank, furnace, beer can, chicken bucket, etc in their yard! I will agree that some of that tire art looks cool, but not sure I want it in my neighbors yard. Glad you like it and if you want I will take the tires off all the cars, tractors, combines my neighbors drag to the side of their properties and ship them to you so you can build tire frogs and decorate your landscape with them! To each his own, just not for me. Understand??

    Pretty much nailed it there with that one. 99 is probably the twin of your wife! When it comes to "busy" yards, it borders on distasteful or even junkie.
    Now I'm not saying that the creations made with these tires are distasteful; I'm only saying that I like a lot of them, not all of them...and in the case of the ones I don't like, I would take the tires instead!
