I think he is talking about the 3-D man target.

Yup He took a hell of a beating from all the sub guns, and even the mg42. |

And the .50 cals! I fired a few at him from the McMillian. Boy, is that a sweet rifle. I would never have imagined that it would be nice to fire a .50.

You are correct ArmedFerret on the date and place.
I'm going to bring some plastic milk jugs, laundry detergent containers, cans, triangular pieces of wood (easier to stick in ground) painted bright colors and whatever I can scavenge up. ***Use of Tannerite*** Be advised that I may institute a maximum size/container of tannerite that way we don't go blowing up everything and ruining the chance of using this site again for future Shoots. I'd like to make the charge large enough so that it'd blow up pumpkins and other stuff but not so large that it shakes neighboring farmhouses, endangers shooters/spectators or damages the berm or grounds of Bays Branch. Not familiar with mixing Tannerite but would a container the size of prescription bottles be a good size? Thanks for any input you guys can give.

The sizes that were used last fall Booger, were roughly 10 - 18 oz bottles. They didn't seem too earth shaking, although the pumpkins were in fear of becoming pie filling!

I was thinking they were around 10 ounce in size.
 You're right that they weren't too bad in noise or power and is just right for a smaller range like Bays Branch...they were big enough to scare the pumpkins though!

Like the other times, I'll bring a couple of sawhorses with hanging steel plates (7x14" railroad plates). They make a nice sound when hit, can take a fair amount of punishing (50 cal excluded), and are safe to shoot at (I have shot literally thousands of 5.56x45 and 7.62x39 at them at 50 yds with no problems).
I was planning on having one at 50 yds, and the other at 100 yds. If people are still too squimish at shooting them at 50 yds then both can go at 100 yds. But it's fun to rapid-fire a steel plate, and actually hit the thing. And it's actually safe (swinging plates, NOT rigid). I'll also bring a small spinning steel target for handguns. And small spinners for .22 LR. And bowling pins. And wooden blocks. I feel sorry for the sawhorses, however. They will not survive... |

I'm having a blonde moment...is the range 50 or 100 yards that we were firing from (firing line to berm) at Bays Branch last year? That's the problem with having no depth perception I guess!

That looked somewhat more than 100 yds, definitely not less than 100 meters. I always shoot at 100 yds (measured) , and my targets looked smaller at Bays Branch than they look on my regular range.

It is 100 yards. Even though I was not there, I can safely say that you didn't have the firing line set up at 50 yards from the berm. The drainage goes through at about 50 yards from the berm.

My wife got into my stash of plastic jugs in the garage this past weekend and they made it to the recycling pile.

generic pop is normally cheap enough that it is worth not storing stinky milk jugs. Plus, the targets can be a variety of colors and easy to transport. They blow up too. |

true dat.
i'll probably stop by a pigglywiggly (yes, we still have some here in B.F. nebraska) on my way in and grab a couple 12-packs. of course, a coffee can with a lit candle and a layer of flour at the bottom makes quite the neato fireball too.

+1 I used to buy flats of wally world pop to blast at. Nice little explosion. I wonder if it is cheaper at Aldi? Hmmmm....... I don't know what I am bringing as of yet. Probably 2 liter bottles and whatever I can find that is fun to destroy.

I never knew Piggly Wiggly's were even still around?!
 I never thought about getting some of the cheap Wal Mart pop cans to shoot at for targets. I'm still going thru my garage and coming up with things to use as targets, I even found some interesting targets down in the basement when I was cleaning it out as well. |
