The horror!, the horror!

This poor bug was just flying about on a wonderful, sunny day, and its life was cruelly snuffed out!

This happened in during timed fire in the centerfire portion of the match. The 25 yard target is visible for 20 seconds, the shooter uses one hand to hold the pistol and fire five rounds. Then we do it again.

When we went down to score, green blood was scattered around the bull, and there was this bug part on the bottom. Poor bug happened to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

We declared the shooter guilty of animal cruelty!

The bug was wiped off the target face and new center was stapled over. Such is life.
 
Congrats. I managed to do that once on what looked like a large horse fly that was on the left side of the paper target I was shooting at from a solid rest 100 yards away. It was out of the black bullseye and on the white paper section when it stopped long enough to send a 22 cal. 55 gr. Ballistic Tip in that direction. Found a nice bullet hole there with fly guts around the edges so that made it a confirmed hit. I wouldn't call it animal cruelty, but more like a bug zapper.

I have so wanted to blast bugs in the eight ring of my Smallbore prone targets. However, I would shoot an eight!

As a Los Angeles city boy, let me just ask WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT MONSTROUS GREEN BUG FROM HELL?!?

We had a deer wander onto the 100yd range while hot a couple years ago. RSOs called cease fire until he cleared out. Stupid deer sure took his sweet time....😠

I shot at the Triple C range in Cresson, TX, for years until it closed and we often had deer and other critters wander onto the long ranges. They were so used to the shooting they paid it little heed. Hawks and other birds, too, would often settle on the steel hangers just staring at you from 200-1800 yards away seemingly just daring you to shoot in their direction. Fun times. I sure miss that place.
 
I've had to stop shooting multiple times to chase deer and turkey off the range where I shoot. An unseen squirrel got behind one of the target boards and was hit/killed by a shot one day. Not my shot, but another shooter.

Reminds me of this famous baseball clip.

Randy Johnson Hits Bird

In a spring training game in March 24, 2001, a dove flew by home plate and was hit by Johnson’s screaming fastball, causing an explosion.

While our house in Ronkonkoma (Long Island) was being finished, my brother and I used to shoot wasps inside it with our BB guns while the parental units went into town. Pretty low success rate, but loads of fun until one of us pinked the front picture window, leaving one of those conical holes glass gets.

We claimed some kids driving by must have shot the window.

Brotherhood.
