Target Girl

OFO No:

What is a Target Girl? 

A Target Girl or Target Person is a very brave person indeed! 

A Target Girl is the person/target who stands directly in front of an impaler, in a circus or performance. 

The impaler throws knives and axes or shoots arrows directly at the Target Girl aiming to get the knife, axe or arrow as close as possible to the Target Girl without actually injuring them. 

What does a Target Girl do?

• dress up in costume
• stand in front of target
• be tied to a moving or spinning target
• try to remain calm at all times
• trust their knife-throwing partner!
• concentrate at all times
• practice, practice, practice!
