40 years ago we had a huge elevated water tank on town property. My buddies farm was approx 3/4 miles away.We would stand back in his orchard and pop away at that tank with our 30.06's and .308's. Also shot tracers out over the lake.

I've shot women and children.
I've shot everything that walks or crawls at one time or another.
And now I'm here to kill you Little Bill for what you done to Ned.

Blasted the picture tube of an old console TV at the dump once with a .30-30 at 100 meters. The implosion was quite satisfactory.

When Coca-Cola switched from cyclamates to aspartame in their diet sodas, the local Coke plant dumped about 2 tractor-trailers' worth of unsaleable cyclamate sweetened Coke in no-deposit glass bottles at the dump. Dad and I gathered up a couple or three hundred of them and set them into a sand dune we used as a berm at the back side of the dump, where it backed onto the artillery range the National Guard used for 105mm and 155mm practice. We went through a whole brick of .22 LR popping those bottles at 100 meters with iron sights. There was never any doubt whether you hit a bottle or not! It was one of the funnest afternoons of my childhood.

Craziest thing I've ever shot is bream with an air rifle and a 12 ga shotgun with #6 shot.

[Midas]

I've shot old lawnmowers, old tillers, but the craziest thing I've ever shot was a run down Chevy.

I shot a channel catfish with a .20 gauge when I was probably 14. It was swimming in real shallow water. I also shot my neighbors dog in the nuts with my BB gun when I was young. Never liked that dog.........

Out at the Range I belong to there is a 3 foot gong at the 300 yard mound… A less then wise young cop trying to impress his friend, took a shot at it with his 1911 about two or three months ago… The bullet went over the mound {which was at least 20 feet higher then the gong} and hit a guy working the field in his truck… Luckily he was not seriously hurt… But now there has to be a range master out there anytime someone is shooting… I kind of got of the subject here! Anyway the gone thing is cool…

[Kodiak32]

I shoot up an Mazda station wagon the day before before it went to the scrap yard. No fuel in it, of course. The M1 Garand went thru it like tissue paper. The K98k Mauser went thru a rim and brake rotor in one shot. A FN Fal opened the the hood at 100 yards, needed to check the washer fluid.

The suprising bit is the M1 Carbine, it penetrated the cast iron engine block at 100 yards, say goodbye to the claim of Carbine bullets bouncing off Chinese winter gear during the Korean War.

I used to take old plastic soda bottles, dump a small dash of baking soda in the bottom, fill the cap to the 1\3-1\2 level with vinegar and quickly screw it all together. These explode like he ll when hit with a .22 hp. I also decided to set up a shooting range in my hallway while Mom was at work one day. I nailed every scrap piece of wood I could find together and ended up with a block about 8" thick. I set it up against the wall at the end of the hallway and my buddy and I started shooting at it and laughing hysterically about shooting in the house-until we looked behind the block and found out we'd shot through the block, the wall of my closet, one of my tennis shoes, and the hardwood floor. Needless to say, Mom was NOT happy! She took my gun away for 6 mo., grounded me for a month, and made me walk to school for the rest of the school year. I tried to tell her that we were trying to be safe, but it didn't work.

I used to do a lot of vehicle repairs and one day one of my buddies brought round his Land Rover asking if I could fix his door. Seems the guy was driving around (the Highlands of Scotland) shooting Pheasants in the roadside fields (Poaching), seems he hit a couple of bumps in the road and the 12 gauge lying on his lap went off!!! Blew a BIG hole in the passenger door! Crazy thing is he would have been driving through all the little villages and it could have happened anywhere!!!

[ArkansasHunter]

I was squirrel hunting a few years ago and walked up to a big Holly tree and found where someone had put a seat up in it where they could Deer hunt. Just a seat.
Only problem it was on our property which was posted.
I backed up a ways and shot it and hell fire the BB's came back and hit me because it was made out of angle iron and steel plate.
I thought it was wood. I shot it a 2nd time and it all came back on me again.
I learned a lesson...A.H

Learned a lesson but SLOW learner. 1st time you got your own back should have been enough. But to do it twice???? DOH!

[Dookiebutt]

There is still a chip in the windowsill at my folks house where a BB hit the birdfeeder and bounced back at me.

We used to shoot at the train cars a lot. On a blue-bird day we would lay in the field and shoot our .22s straight up in the air. You could see the bullet for a good while. We never wondered where they came down back then. I do now.

Going to good friends deer camp in the summer to clean-up for the up coming deer season . After the cutting the grass,repairing the leaks in the roof, damming up the stream. We would catch little frogs and tie them up with twisty ties and attach them to a few straight sticks,ram them into the ground on an angle and step back about 50 yards and aim for the head or a free leg. As a kid we took our proudly purchased BB guns that we bought by selling seeds from some seed company. Headed down to the railroad trestle and shot the pigeons or as we called them sky rats, right out of there nesting areas. That ended as one of my friends was called over by some guy in a car that was bs-ing to him as he snapped his picture in the car. Shit the bed, i did not go over he was a railroad police man. Ended up all of us got a letter in the mail, a ass kicking by the old man and bb-guns confiscated for a couple months.

When I was a kid power lines were uninsulated coper. We used to shoot them with bb guns to hear them sing. We also had an open air city dump about a half mile down the RR tracks and the tracks were 100 yds. in back of the house. Shot lots of fun stuff there. Old cars, tv's, you name it I shot it. Used to walk down the river bank hunting Water Mocassins with a 58 Remington. Later on me and some friends hunted them at night with Coleman lanterns and frog gigs but that's another story. Neat thing about the cars is when you got tired of shooting them you could set them on fire and watch them burn. Wish I had some of those old cars now.

[jaeger]

put a .308 round through my brother in laws truck. Shot at a doe in NC about 5 years ago and missed high at 300 yds. Got to the truck later to see my 150gr nosler went through the windshield and into the headrest of the drivers seat. oops.

Bowling pins.....those things are almost indestructable!(almost)

[7mmremmag1995]

shot an old Fiberglass boat with a 30-30 and someone's basketball backboard with a BB gun(they found the hole).
