Weirdest Place You Have Ever Shot An Air Rifle...⚖️🚽🗝🇬🇧🚢🛸

[Guest]

Okay gents, and hopefully some ladies too,



Where is the weirdest place you have ever shot an air rifle? Post a pic and give a description. If you only got a description then good enough.


Mine, from the back of a ️ sailboat (in storage) that provided a nice blind for a couple ground squirrels 30 yards away. I was unsuccessful as I spooked them, but I did go sailing that day.

Out trolling ( Fishing ) on rural lakes .... shooting at drift wood, dragonflies etc .

Shooting pidgins in a hanger to protect a man powered glider being built.

as a kid, shooting modeling clay from across my bedroom.

BTW, if you haven't shot modeling clay yet, give it a shot. It's oddly satisfying to see the spiraling cavity the pellet makes as it twirls through the clay.

The tree house my dad built in my grandpa's backyard. We would protect the blackberry bush from birds and my grandpa would reward me by ordering grandma to make us blackberry pie or milkshakes. It was some of the best days of my life.

On top of my roof shooting FX impact at night at rabbits

Across my living room and down the hall.

Or -

In the backyard, thru the back door (door open !), across the living room, and down the hall.

On two separate occasions I shot rats that ran under our oven inside the house. Lying flat as a tack, with the gun lying on its side on the floor and only looking along the barrel to aim. FX Royale 22 on low did the trick with no wall damage.

Not so weird maybe, but I often shoot from my kayak. Pistol or short airguns/bulpups.

I am not sure I am happy with my national Flag being among the images portraying "weirdest place".

 

[SDellinger]

Almost through the roof inside my truck. Ask "longbrownbox". Ha.

Like gunnertrones, anytime we canoe the river the 2240 or 2400kt comes along. I've shot more starlings from the canoe than anywhere else.

I suppose as a kid in the cellar shooting at cheap lighters with a candle burning nearby using low end BB guns. I guess I'm boring as that's the best I can come up with. 

Now admit it - this question sound like that meme clip from The Newlywed Show in the 70s when the guy is asked what's the strangest place you've had sex? Youtube it if needed, as I won't go further here, it's a good laugh.

At work. 
I brought in my gun after work to dial in a regulator and sight in my scope at 50yds. I found a storage mezzanine that accomplished the yardage and took a few shots. Ended up having a security guard come yelling in my direction and told him I was looking through some crates for tooling. I used the same place to shoot my bow when it would get dark early.

Received permission to help eliminate destructive ground squirrels at a golf course we frequented once a week. Had a Prod stuffed into the center part of the golf bag. When we spotted vermin we looked for golfers who might frown on our activity...when in the clear we'd pull out the Prod “iron“ and go to work reducing bunches of the golf course ground wreckers.

In my backyard —

through the backdoor —

through the living room —

through the frontdoor —

onto the yard door with the target card.



That setup gave me 25 yards for zeroing my pistol....  

(Yes, I had a huge thick plywood sheet as backstop....)

When I was in the military, I used to sneak my air pistol into a restricted area and shoot jackrabbits at night or ground squirrels during the day. If caught, probably a instant court martial but I loved my airguns, even back in the 80’s.
