What's more rewarding that killing one and two liter sodapop bottles?

Picking them up and putting them in the trash

Picking up and putting in the recycling?

If you live more than about 500 miles from the place where they
actually recycle the plastic, it is a wash environmentally.
Most of the plastic is burned in the waste to energy incinerator here,
whether it came from the trash stream or the recycle stream.
The only recycling that actually makes economic sense this far from
the recycler is metal.
Recyclers don't really want "dirty" bottles anyway like the ones I
find floating in the water.
I do wonder how Harry is picking up all the bits of plastic from the
bottles he explodes. I can see him getting the big pieces but it is
the little ones that are a danger to wildlife.

Our range does not allow exploding targets. Bottles count?

Our range is private and allows whatever we want. We don't shoot glass,
though. Too dangerous.

Must be a trashy range.

Oh, really? It's on a multi-acre lot that backs right up to the
Shenandoah River, and probably 90% of it is heavily wooded. The property
is lovely. The shooting range is on a tiny sliver. It would only be
trashy if you showed up.

So little bits of plastic are not
trashy?

Little bits of plastic are tough on birds. If they pick them up they
get a gizzard full of plastic that will not help them digest food and
never go away.

snerk Mr. Nature.
