Shelbyville News

The obituary fails to mention he was a slaughterer of endangered species such as the Great Blue Heron, liked to kill his neighbors dogs and even took shots at children (myself included) that dared walk by his house. His own daughters even disowned him. His funeral procession passed by me, and It had to the shortest one I've ever seen - 4 cars counting the hearse.

Isn&#39;t varmit slang for rodent/pest? So perhaps Heavy Varmit Bench Rest Shooting is where you rest the rifle on a bench and shoot at large, overweight rats or hamsters? Either way, it sounds very much like some sort of yokal form of entertainment... no offence intended BWB.

[CrayonVonCaesar]

So its machine gunning fat rats?
Or old out of shape racoons sitting on a bench?
waaaaaaaaaaa its just a bunch of words stuck together that make no sense.

i tink he means Varmint:

If you really want to know more look here

As the name implies, bench rest matches are fired from a sturdy shooting bench with the rifle supported by a front a rear rest. At Cherry Ridge, there are two classes:

*

Factory Class: fires two (5-bull) targets at 100 yards for a perfect score of 100 10X. Rifle must be any factory made production rifle with any power scope. No alterations except glass bedding, free floating of barrel and trigger adjustment. Factory rifles of any caliber will compete in the same class.
*

Heavy Varmint: fires five 5-shot groups. (The first one is a warm up and does not count for score.) The groups will be shot in pairs with a break for cleaning in between. Any rifle that conforms to IBS Heavy Varmint rules (13 ½ pound maximum with scope) will be allowed. Any caliber and scope power permitted.

Now, that looks like a honorable passion....and the best training for shooting out of your window...


@BWB: I am completely jealous of your sig....

No offence taken, but you exactly right. One&#39;s neck needs to be awfully red to get a kick out shooting prairie dogs. And I must confess that for the last two years my dad and two of my brothers have gone on prarie dog shooting vacations in South Dakota

[CrayonVonCaesar]

What an awful sport. How about medium/light pushing cups over with a stick. Now that&#39;s a mans sport. *viking*

Well I&#39;ve done quite a bit of rabbit shooting with my g/f&#39;s father but I dont think I enjoy it enough to go into comps or consider it to be one of my defining characteristics. Theres always a fine line bwtween a hobby and mental illness. I believe that this bloke crossed that line. Who knows, perhaps whereever he is now, the pairie dogs get to shoot him for enjoyment?

[Gelatinous Cube]

Prairie Dog shooting is just wrong. Those little fellas just don&#39;t need it. Rabbits on the other hand... :getlost

Oh I quite agree. Rabbits are a pest and a massive ecological problem down here. They deserve every .22 round aimed in their direction.

@BWB DId this guy seriously take pot shots at you? Was he on his front porch or at the window?

What a strange topic. I love this line though&#33; Oh, que feo&#33;

Sounds like a rotten neighbor for you.

[jsteph]

If the man was a good enough shot to have hit a small prarie dog, if the man was shooting at you, he would hit you.

He shot in your direction because he was a miserable cuss. But he did not shoot at you.

Now the neighbor dog thing, I can kind of understand when I cutting my grass and step in a big pile of Dog crap. I keep trying to think of an easy way to poison a dog walking in my yard. but my stepdad brings his small dog around all of the time. So I can not do this, well that and my damned concieous(sp).

[IronBrig4]

Ranchers need to shoot prairie dogs because they indirectly kill horses. If a horse steps in a prairie dog hole, it can easily break a leg. But I&#39;ll agree, being proud of shooting prairie dogs usually means you have a red neck.

[bigfootedfred]

why bother shooting.

just as well use a rocket launcher, for all the "chance" the poor creture has.
