hmm, 75 feet. Pistol practice? I never did like pistols, even though
I have several. But I do have some impliments that could put "stumpy"
out of your misery at say .. 250 yards? Oh, and that's with iron
sights.

But it's your "stumpy" and exercise it for all you can. you never know
when "big brother" will want to take away all the cap guns.....



25 yards is all we have room for. The site is the future drain field and
is the only flat, cleared spot on the entire property. Everything else
is wooded, or very hilly or ravines or too close to the water.

It works fine for pistol practice, and for some occasional rifle
practices and tossing clays. I don't hunt.

There's a pasture nearby for more high powered stuff. I'm not much of a
rifle fan, though I understand the precision needed for long-range
target shooting.

There are no traps on the site. What you presumed were traps are nothing
more than busted old spinning targets. Ergo, you don't know your ass
from a chuck of busted metal. Why would you think they were traps?

I've never seen the slightest bit of evidence you know anything about
concrete or structural engineering or, in fact, much of anything else.

Awe, your childish name calling is cute! My eight year old does that
sometimes when he's frustrated from being stupid. I also accused you
of telling people here that you had a lobster boat, you haven't
mentioned that.

I'm sorry, did I miss your explanation for the animal traps you alleged
I had?- Hide quoted text -

No, you didn't. When I see your lobster boat, we'll talk!

They certainly look like small animal traps. Now, it's your turn,
what's up with the lobster boat?

Show us a photo of "small animal traps" that look like the remains of my
old metal targets.- Hide quoted text -

I will, when you show us a picture of your lobster boat.

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

Here he is...

http://tinyurl.com/2uwsu9

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.

Your knowledge of beer and concrete probably put you in the hospital.

You "know beer." Probably because you guzzle down a 12-pack every night.

I don't know much about beer or any other alcoholic beverage. I only
have a half-dozen or so alcoholic drinks a year. But I have tasted Bud
Light and Miller Light. ****y.

IMO, the best tasting American beer that came out of the microbrewery crowd
is Samuel Adams Lager. Very similar to some of the good, German,
full-bodied beers. Even the "light" version isn't bad, although it has more
calories than most other "regular" beers.

Second best American beer, although not originating from a microbrewery, is
"Amberboch", an Anheuser-Busch product. Not available everywhere, the
draft version is much better than the bottled.

Unfortunately, I finally hit the age where I can't drink either anymore.
Too heavy. An occasional Coors Light is about all I can handle now.

Well, I don't drink alchololic beverages, but when I used to hoist a
few, I always thought draft beer was always better (and cheaper!)

I agree, but if I were with friends and they offered a friendly brew
to me, I can drink one, if only not to come off as a better-than-you
ass. Now, where IS that lobster boat?

Yes, very good beer. I also like Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale (quite
hoppy), and their Summer Ale. I like a lot of different types, I brew
one hell of a Hefeweizen.

It's okay, and I totally agree that the draft version is pretty good!

Unfortunately, I finally hit the age where I can't drink either anymore.

Ever try Amstel Light? Not great, but better than any american light
except maybe Sam Adam's light. Adams has a European ale that I don't
care for. Too malty.
