    Penn and Teller - Bullet Catching

    Plus one more who has been on stage for the bullet catching trick. They asked if there were any police, military or gun nuts in the audience. The three cops I was with didn't raise their hands so I got to go. Hmmm. Now after three moves I wonder where the bullet & shell are.

    Outdoor Shooting Range in CT

    Check out Highrock Shooting association. They are in the valley off of RT 8. They have a website and are a nice little range. They are only open to the public on the weekends I believe.
