That's a former highwall coal pit, then a tire pit and now just a pond. This is at a good friend's family property/farm. I don't have anywhere that flat or open on my stuff. I had actually considered floating some reactive targets. I get lots of oddball ideas like that and we already blew up everything we could get our hands on including some loaned scrapped cars from a local yard...the good old days. A bit more reserved lately, but I do know how to party. Sample
We don't host them anymore...the Shootfests. It grew too large...waiviers and whatnot. Decided to quit while ahead. We had a run from 2013 to 2018 with the last one seeing 130+ attendees. LOL We did actually have range 'officers' though. Local outfit that does firearm training volunteered. I was extremely anxious at the last two as I know the potential for an 'incident' was very high. Dozens of regular folks and some of their youngsters mostly unsupervised at the same place at the same time....with guns.
I can't really invite anyone there as it is not mine to do so. Can invite to my woods to shoot but I don't even shoot there much. I have a quasi master plan waiting to unfurl to give myself an all weather 100 yard range. Several things need to fall into place before it can happen. As of today I usually just set up a makeshift deal and jab a portable target somewhere in the ground. Looked at shooting across the crick valley but I'd need a tree monkey or to drop quite a few biggies to get a clear view. There are many times I am happy to have wooded lands, sometimes it'd be nice to have some pasture as well.
