snerk Mr. Nature.



Yeah



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




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.

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.


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.

...in fact, my only Texas buddy (we were buddies in NE Florida, and we

That's apparently the latest conspiracy the righties in Texas are
spreading, according to my buddy...disease-carrying Muslims are walking
into Texas from Mexico, dropping copies of the koran as they go.

I hadn't thought of that. Ebola-contaminated Muslims, crossing from
Mexico into Maryland.

Actually, I'm "messing around" with AR rifles because, unlike most
other
firearms, they're relatively easy to customize and "improve." Just
about
any part can be swapped out for a part you like better, either for
functional or cosmetic purposes. The only "machine work" (and I use
that
term loosely) I've had to do was shave down the front sight/gas block.


Has it occurred to you that you may be the only real gun nut here?

I do agree that Duncan Hunter is a little over the top with his claim
that ISIS is coming over the Mexican border., They are far more likely
to come in from Canada where the border is largely unsecured and
muslims walking around are fairly normal.



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

Reading your posts that must have JPS ****ing himself.
