Bats in your belfry? Blast 'em!

From Memphis Memories, July 5, 1884:
More than 1,000 flying bats, the gift of the Leroy Shot & Lead Co., have been received at Cockrell's shooting grounds where they will be used as targets to test the marksmen of the city.
This seems to be a blatant violation of the "What goes up must come down" theory of gravity. What could go wrong?
