Wyoming Tube Shoot?

[Bill, KD0HG]

This event really appeals to my juvenile delinquent self...
$10 bucks a day admission, lead included?
A night tracer show?

The XYL would *never* let me attend.

It dose sound like fun Bill. I wonder ... If you won the rifle and suppressor after buying that lucky $5.00 ticket, would you need an FFL to walk out with it? I would be first in line to rent a Ma Duce with a 50 round belt!

Too bad you have to go out of town on business on that date.

Yeah I don't know if I would want to be standing around while untrained street civilians are firing cannons. 

Watch the muzzle brake just trash everything in the area.

Back in the seventies when I was a punk kid I use to repair and sell televisions. Lot of time this involved replacing picture tubes and I would drag the dead picture tubes out to the swamp and shot them with a little 22 I had. The real old round color tubes without the safety shield attached would explode when shot in the face and were very impressive but the modern tubes with attached safety shields would just hiss or collapse. That was forty years ago but now inspired to get some of my dead 833 and 807 tubes and maybe go hunting for them. May also be a good use for CRT computer displays? Think that may make a good YouTube video.

We had a spot near my parents house where all naughty picture tubes met their fate. It was quite an area of sharp broken glass. Years later a yuppie neighborhood was built and the spot has become some yuppie's side yard.
Many people brought bad tubes to the happy hunting ground. a 6 or 8 inch rock was usually the device which made quite the poof.

And the hippies / Yuppies are wondering WHY their flowering plants grow so well in that side yard.

Couldn't be the phosphorous in the ground.....


Dunno about taking a UTube of shooting CRTs....  Or tubes for that matter.  Some idiot would probably turn you in to the EPA for illegally dumping mercury or phosphorous.

BUT, yeah, it was REAL fun learning to shoot against old, dead tubes....

wow, your flowers look so nice in the sunlight and even nicer at night
I don't think there was an EPA when we had the neighborhood grave yard for tubes

Send her shopping. 

There's a great group in VT who shoots regularly in the northern part of the state. The idiot ratio had become an issue there as elsewhere in recent years with the influx of cityots, which was solved when one of the members who owns a lot of land throughout the state gave the club a big chunk of land to use, removing all the 'neighborhood' issues and excuses.

An excellent variety of hardware shows up ranging from Thompsons and M-60s to tanks and Ma Deuces.

But of course, no party is complete without one of these.....

The Wyoming shoot looks like it would be fun to attend...
Check out"Boomershoot" Google it up...It happens at the end of April every year...... Shooting up to 1 stick dynamite (equivalent)  targets at up to 750 yds in Idaho...Cost $100 per shooter...shoot all day long...Bring your own guns and ammo....I provide some of the lunch break entertainment by firing an 8o lb anvil around 100 ft in the air....Sometimes a guy shows up with a bowling ball cannon...The event includes all kinds of weapons, although I haven't seen any fully auto stuff in the 5 years I've attended....This is a very well run event with safety being a foremost concern....Lots of fun blowing stuff up...
