Ok, I know we all have either shot at or have seen people shoot at abnormal/stupid objects (ie: spray paint cans, old TVs, flour sacks). What are some things you have seen that were fun to watch or scarry to watch? Is there any item you especially like to bring with to the range or farm?

* I am not encouraging or condoning unsafe use of firearms.

years ago, as in I was under ten. my dad and a friend were at a dump shooting. In the old days, shooting at the town dump was considered a fine thing, and rats jumping from trash pile to trash pile was good set of live targets, as often the dump had small smoldering fires going on.

My dad had the .22 and a few other small caliber revolvers that we had, and the buddy had a M 1 carbine, an M1 rifle, and a .410. My brother and I had great fun blowing up rats with the .410 when the buddy decided to shoot at some "found targets" and went tromping about grabbing stuff and stacking it up.

Well, no one throws away a full propane tank do they?

Well yup, first .22 rounds clanked off. check, 2 M1 carbine rounds dents but no holes, finally two surplus 30-06 AP rounds, followed by a .30 tracer. YUP big bang REAllY Big Bang......fuel air explosives are really really cool, but only when you are expecting them

Many years ago my buddies dad sold explosives. We would take dynamite paste and wrap it with duct tape make it in to golf ball sized balls and shoot it with his dad 10-22. Kinda like the tanzanite of today. If remember correctly we were about 13 yrs. old at the time. Fun times and good memories.

I liked the video where a guy shot a running lawn mower with a 50 cal. Desert Eagle.

Clearly my range days are much more boring.

I think a cell phone and a Jesse Ventura bobblehead are the most interesting things

I've got very fond memories from my early shooting days with my dad and brother. One place we always shot was a dump at the Iowa 4H camp. the dump had an old upright piano in it. it's quite fun to shoot a piano with a bolt action .22!!! I guess it was like a glorified steel shoot - but instead of just bang-ping, we'd often get bang-ping-twang or even full "chords". I can't imagine what kind of symphonies we would have composed if we had had 10/22's available to us back then!

between that and the other dumps we shot at up north here that were full of old gallon glass jugs - often full of water! (yes, there were times that we were lucky we didn't put an eye out!)

ahaha, my boss always has an old cell phone or two and we shoot em.

in fact i found this picture:

I dont remember what we shot it with, I think it was one of my bosses many revolvers.

of course, every so often we bust out the tannerite

Dumbest thing we ever shot was when we were in 9th or 10th grade and were shooting our .22's at a low angle over the water in a gravel pit, thinking how cool it was to see it ricochet up into the limestone behind it. And it WAS cool, but it was stupid.

My son likes to shoot his sisters barbie dolls with a BB gun. Around Easter this year we were shooting Peeps with BB guns.

I think one of my favorite targets was a hubcap hanging by rope from a tree branch. We would set it swinging and shoot it with one of the .22s. It was an interesting moving target.

We also tried empty shotgun shells. Plinking cans got boring, so we would take empty shotgun shells and set them up for plinking. Other than that, I'm a little on the cautious, possibly over-cautious side about just what I shoot. I'm always worried that something is going to come back.

Oh, one game that was kind of fun for my friend and I. We ran out of targets one day, so we would fill empty ammunition boxes about half to two thirds with sand, stand back about 10 yards and see who could draw and knock over the boxes first.

I'm hoping to get bowling pins next.

That sounds like fun.

A fun and safe thing to shoot are charcoal briquettes hanging from a string. They make a nice puff when you connect.

Jeff Cooper said shooting cigarettes stuck onto nails is a good challenge. (But also a whole lot more expensive now)

I think I remember hearing about shooting farmer's matches and being able to get them to light with a .22. Maybe it's a rural myth.

Oh yeah! Bowling pins, I forgot, we've shot up those before. Damn those things are tough. Take a beating before they start to come apart.

Finally realize why the damn things don't fall over when I throw a ball at them.

Recently I have come to believe that bowling alleys are also a good waste of a range. Which gets me wonder what a gold ball does when you shoot it with various firearms.

I'm thinking about ordering some Tannerite soon. Maybe we can do a group buy on it.

Just don't get too carried away with it like this numbskull: http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article ... yid=492819

Surprisingly, his hot-shit lawyer got the charges dropped and he walked. I looked him up and he has three convictions in the last eleven years including a felony from 1997 involving drunk driving and great bodily harm. Brian Wesley Childs is a menace to society and should be in prison.

100lbs. of high-explosive in a dump truck = irresponsible and idiotic behavior (which seems to be the trend with this moron).

100lbs. of high-explosive in a Jack-O-Lantern = hellavua lotta fun.

Anyone hear from FarmerJ lately? I think I hear Cokato calling....
