Now you just need to put out a couple of spinners / dueling trees for playing with the less expensive (ammo wise)  toys.

The ever-indulgent wife bought me a nice air-pistol at the NRA Annual meeting and I picked up a dueling tree for it so I can also shoot off of my back deck, albeit not as far or as fun.  Lot cheaper though.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89122 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89122 Mon, 25 May 2009 07:47:01 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89121 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89121 Mon, 25 May 2009 07:10:02 -0600 Is the backstop just leaves?

And if you gets a peahen then your cock will never roam.
They'm useful and they'm bootiful and does your garden proud,
So pay no mind to folks when they do tell you they'm too loud.

Peacocks are evil. We've got one that wanders around the neighborhood. Hate that thing. Squawks all summer, pecks at anything reflective (like sliding glass doors, car bumpers, windows with unfortunate perches, etc and so on), craps everywhere and sheds feathers.

I keep trying to talk the neighbors into letting me cook the dang thing for Thanksgiving, but noooo.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89102 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89102 Sun, 24 May 2009 19:11:38 -0600 Well, Randy, at least next time you won't be able to completely kill the target holder with one shot - meaning I'll have time to cut you off if you are suffering terminal inaccuracy disease... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89101 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89101 Sun, 24 May 2009 18:52:08 -0600   not least because guests... shoot them If I didn't already have incentive to visit again, comments like this just mean I'll have to see what other damage I can do next time. ;)]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89099 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89099 Sun, 24 May 2009 18:37:47 -0600 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89093 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/05/shooting_party.html#comment-89093 Sun, 24 May 2009 15:52:47 -0600
