Blog Fodder Bleg

I got some suggestions for blog topics. Keep em coming. One was a suggestion to go to the pound and collect animals that have been euthanised, freeze them, and use them as targets at the gun range. It’d be more fun than a pumpkin shoot, and useful for understanding what kind of damage each round type does for hunting purposes. Uh… maybe that’s not a good practice. Once those critters thawed and got splatted all over Hap Baker’s range the smell would be horrendous. And if word gets out that we used Whiskers and Mittens and Fifi and Commander Puddles for target practice, then it might not shine the best sort of publicity onto the shooting sports. Not to mention what PETA would do with it, even though the animals would already be dead.



What I would like to try is milk jugs, filled with water. If you put an inverted soup can over the jug opening you get a little water powered Anvil Firing! Fooommm!

What? Some of you don’t know what an Anvil Firing is? It’s a delicious piece of disappearing Americana, that’s what it is. I’ll explain tomorrow.
