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.

And not one of y'all has mentioned that those aren't Miller Lite
cans in the photo, they're Bud lights? Jeeze.

Bud's ok, I guess. After you've had three of something else first.

Well, I don't drink *that* ****y beer, either. I just stack the empty
cans for the next guy in line.

You would be the one who knows what ****y beer tastes like.

No one drinks while shooting, anyway. The cans are 25 yards away.
Anyone who shoots handguns "offhand" knows you have to be stone sober
to hit the cans at that distance.

Not if you practice drunk.

We can't all emulate your life experiences.

No you can't and no you couldn't.
