Added "RECIPE" Moron harassing us while shooting....
A friend of mine and I went to my Dad's place to test a few .38spl and .40 S&W handloads last weekend. We also brought a few homemade binary target markers (like Tannerite) to test, as we had just dug up a formula and were eager to test it. He has 40 acres in rural Northeast GA with an area that is safe to shoot. This is chicken and cow country; but a subdivision was built (one of those "made by the mile; cut by the yard" manufactured communities) about two fields over from his place (guessing the nearest homes at 1/4 mile, with the balance much farther). As soon as we started shooting we hear someone with a powerful PA system/bullhorn yell: "Stop shooting now" in an authoritative voice, coming from off our left shoulder. Being aware that there was a remote chance there were DNR fellas was in the woods, I cupped my hands over my mouth and hollered back "who are you?" there was a long pause and a reply along the lines of "youre about to know"..... Satisfied that such an undignified response was not that of DNR or any LEO, we commenced shooting handguns once more. Bear in mind that this was slow-fire stuff through a chonograph. After putting up with as much of his continued yelling as we could stand; we decided to create a disturbance worthy of his complaints :lol:, we decided to test one of homemade "tannerite targets" with the Mosin-nagant that we brought along for the purpose..... We placed a 1lb target at about 75 yards and commenced to trying to hit it.... My friend connects on his 3d shot (not bad for a 5" x5" target offhand).... Listen for the response from our neighborhood heckeler after the target detonates... "Now you're just being an a$$hole..." We finished off two more targets without another peep from him! The rest of the afternoon's shooting was devoid of "Mr PA system"..... Weve been shooting there for 15 years, and this is the first event of its kind...
