Just think how much money you're saving on ammo by shooting pellets. That should improve your attitude at least a little bit.

These days I'm happy to just get out to shoot!
I bought a new pistol in October but I just got to shoot it this past Sunday. Any score is a good score for me lol!

Appears to be oddly satisfying. I would be building a lot of fires lately.

If I remember correctly, years ago you shot up a tree trunk to oblivion. Don't tell me you've been slipping...lol

I used to shoot at an abandon rock quarry east of Portland, OR. After shooting I would gather up all the burnable trash left by others and burn it. I figured it was better than leaving the mess behind... I haven't been back there in over 20 years.

Ok, full disclosure. I was outside the range fixing up new targets for the upcoming annual club championship and there was a slight wind chill, so I lit up a nice fire and tossed some old targets in it.

Then I thought it’d make for a nice pic and caption

Classic12 -

Beautiful view, nice target boards!!!!

FWIW - for me, maybe 2 out of 10 targets are worth saving.... the rest?? Destroy the evidence!!!!
