Default Our Friend Stumpy

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.

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.
