Why won't the Range let me shoot Watermelon's ?

[DoggyDaddy]

Okay but watermellons are biodegradeable.

After they've drawn flies, critters, etc.. Not to mention the sight of rotting fruit just laying there.

Shooting watermelons is only okay if they're not ripe.
I hate it when the grocery stores sell them before they're ready.
They deserve to be shot.

(The watermelons not the stores)

Come out to the farm. Bring your own watermelons.

This was about 40 years ago, so I am a little fuzzy. I am pretty sure it was Willow slough park where they had redone the firing ranges. Just dirt backstops and a gravel lot, but it was a good place to shoot. They had maybe Five 55 gallon drums for trash.

People started bringing crap to shoot at. Old TV sets, kitchen skillets, folding chairs, and of course spoiled melons. They just left the junk there. I went one time and left because it was more crowded than I wanted to deal with. Included was four hood rats sitting in a sedan shooting out the window at the medium length pistol range. Also some guys with a washing machine on the 100 yard range. I came back another morning and the shot up washer was still there ( with many shot up TV's ) and some clown was sitting a few bowling balls on TOP of the backstop in the rifle range. I was able to talk him out of doing that.

There are some real dimwits that like firearms.

The only silly targets we ever shot was cookies from a groove in the top of a saw horse or flour out of pill bottles. We did pick the big pieces back up, and the birds ate the rest.

From the look of the tactitards gear belt and his tactical t-shirt I'm sure it was a training session with rubber shoe wearing guy. His day therfore superceded your day.

The coiled snake t-shirt validates all.

Step 1- buy several watermelons.

Step 2- invite friends over for watermelon.

Step 3- put the rinds in your lawn, preferably near your house entrance. Mow across them, battle flies from them, listen to your wife complain about how stupid you are.

Step 4- Ummm, what was your question?

Damn it.
Now I'm hungry for watermelon.

Ok the real reason you can’t shoot watermelons on ranges, because the seeds will fall to the ground, people walk on the seeds, pushing them into the ground, then it’ll rain, then the seeds will sprout, then watermelons will start growing on the range, then next thing you know, it’s not a gun range anymore it’s a watermelon patch, then the board of directors will realize that they’ll make more money selling watermelons than range memberships!

So go ahead a shoot your watermelons! And just see what happens to your gun range!

So are humans, but that's frowned upon too!
