I mentioned I took a photo yesterday of our friend Stumpy.

Here he is...

Stumpy is the last remaining stump in our future drain field.* He has
survived about four years of heavy gunfire. He used to be much larger, but
he's been shot about a zillion times. There's a pretty decent sized
Chunk'o'Stumpy on the ground there, the result of automatic fire from a
real "assault" weapon.**

Oh. The beer cans. Miller Lite empties from the last barbecue out there.
No drinking allowed in conjunction with shooting.

A friends of ours lost her 16 year old (at the time) son to a drunk driver
coming home from a deer hunting camp. Apparently many of these camps are
filled with guys who are drunk 24x7, including the time they are out on the
hunt for deer.

Sorta explains the number of fatalities from friendly fire during deer
season.

Alcohol + guns/rifles/shotguns = catastrophe.




You betcha. The guys who use the site for camping, picnics, boating, and
fishing toss their empty cans in a big barrel next to the storage shed.
When we come out to shoot, we "recycle" the cans. When they are finally
useless, they get hauled up to the county dump "aluminum can" receptacle.

No one pops a beer until all the guns are put away for the day. Them's
the rules. Violators not invited back.

We only need a few rules out there for safe shooting.
