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.

Yeah

I am interested in the environment. Is that a bad thing?

I would suggest shooting at biodegradable targets. Do they really need
to explode?
Maybe you should just buy a set of steel targets and shoot like the
adults.

That's pretty silly. Most gun nuts shoot plastic bottles. Youtube is
full of videos of them doing it. And I doubt plugging a plastic leaves
a lot of "little pieces" that birds gobble up.
Plastic is a sea bird problem.

Fill it with water to get explosions.

That's really silly. Most gun enthusiast shoot at a range that doesn't allow anything but cardboard targets.
You think youtube is reality? That's really nuts.
You should go back to yacking about something you know something about.
So far, you haven't shown us what that is here.

Harry has a spot out in the woods that he calls a range and he would
rather shoot at trash than buy real targets.

Maybe he should talk to the carpenter's union guys he must know and
get a big bag of 2x4 cutoffs
Those 3" pieces you get when you cut down 2x4s for studs would make
great targets. They might not really explode but a solid hit would
break them up.

All that said, guys who shoot combat courses are shooting at steel
targets. There are many different styles

Actually, we only sometimes shoot at trash, such as empty beer cans. I'm
more likely to shoot at full beer cans because they are smaller targets
than the two liter sodapop bottles and...they are cheaper. I can usually
buy a 24-can case of ****y Miller Lite or Bud Lite for a lot less than
24 plastic two liter bottles of sodapop, or even smaller bottles of
sodapop There is a lot of "social satisfaction" in spilling those awful
beers rather than allowing someone to drink them.

We have some legitimate steel targets out at the range, and we've
increased the size of the firewood backstop that sits out in front of
the 20' high natural mound of Virginia dirt that serves as our true
backstop. We now have shooting positions and movable tables at 25, 50,
and 100 yards out from the backstops, but 100 yards is pretty much the
limit because of the terrain. Naturally, we stop shooting when critters
walk across the range.

Plastic is a sea bird problem.

Think there are any sea birds on that river?

Is the gun nut plastic in the water, or does it look like prey.

It actually can affect many birds.

Cite any birds - any - affected by gun nuts shooting plastic bottles.

Gun nuts also shoot traffic signs. I am not sure that just because
people do it makes it OK.

I like plastic bottles but people doing dumb things with them will
cause their demise. You only have to look at plastic bags to see that
happening.

Right. "Little pieces" of plastic from gun nuts plugging plastic
bottles will end mankind.
Get real.
The lead is more harmful to the environment than any "pieces"
that come off bottles. He's not blasting them apart wit a 12 ga.
for Christ's sake. And gun nuts don't use plastic bags as targets.
Why don't you just admit you'll use any lame excuse to trash Harry?
Grow up.

If it weren't for their really lame attempts to trash me, most of the
righties wouldn't have anything to post here. I usually try to leave a
little sand on the dance floor for them.

Greg especially likes to "argue" to the point of absurdity, and
sometimes, when I am really bored, I will do my best to accommodate him.

The truth can be used to trash Harry. No need for lame excuses.

A more deserving person does not exist.

Harry trashes everyone and everything here.

He only makes two kinds of posts. How wonderful the things are, that
he does and how bad everything anyone else does sucks..

Have another cup of hyperbole.
