Heee!

Maniacal giggling ensues.

Right, so this was a good day, I think. Went out and learned how to fire several sorts of guns, and will very likely be purcahsing one. (Of course, it's the least practical of the lot of them ... whatever. Unfortunately, I have no photos of that at the moment. There might be a couple though, hopefully.


This one was big. And I have no idea if I actually hit anything I was aiming for with it, which means I probably didn't.


After firing. As you might be able to see, I sort of liked it.

And yes, I did get the requisite lecture on how this really isn't good for the environment upon returning home, but it was still a fun day. Much fun was had by all, and no one was seriously damaged in the process.

This is how I have made many of the pits to shoot into: I usually start by moving the topsoil/mast from where I want to have a pit, as well as move out soil and level out the spot, as needed. Then, using old telephone poles, I make a hard barrier, and I always want to build this up at least 6-7 feet. Next is gravel, held in by the outside layer, which is sand bags. Simple, efective, and you have to fix the sand bags every so often, so sift the lead and copper out before refilling the bags. Simple, and if your friends want to use the pit, they can help with the labor.

I think I'm going to have to adapt this method a little, seeing as about two inches below the surface sand here, pretty much all the sand under it (heavy lime content I think?) turned into something that's more or less like concrete, and takes explosives to get through it. While this could be fun, it's probably also falling into the category of Very Bad Ideas.
