Food for Thought
In these hard economic times everyone is pinching pennys and price conscious. What kind of image is being projected on shooters and firearms owners by the exhibition shooters who use food as targets? Many of these shooters tend to get a lot of TV time, shooting mellons and cabbage. Just looking for everyones thoughts or feelings on this.

Re: Food for Thought
This is a non issue.
Considering just how much food is thrown away in this country on a daily basis. Think supermarkets when a food is close to "expiration" date.
Think restaurants that by law have to lock trash-dumpsters so that the homeless can't get to the free food.
If anybody takes issue to shooters banging out a few melons, then they are barking up at the wrong tree.==============
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
~Samuel Adams
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
~Thomas Jefferson, 1791

Re: Food for Thought
If I bought and paid for it or grew the food in question, it is mine to either eat, trash, shoot or what have you. Butt-in-skis can BUTT OUT.

I think if people are really worried about how shooters are using food as target practice, they don't have enough problems or worries in their life.

You know there are nuts out there that will tell you that plants are sensitive and have feelings. Do you really want to upset that cabbage by shooting it? Hell no! Make that cabbage feel welcome by chopping it into slaw!

Re: Food for Thought
Maybe the melons, etc. are covered with E Coli or salmonella. The shooters would actually be doing a service by ridding the world of said hazards. They should be praised, not vilified.

Re: Food for Thought
As long as they scream out,
Look out! It's coming right for us!
before shooting the offending fruits and vegetables, I see no problem.

Re: Food for Thought
Go to the back of a grocery store around 5:30AM-7:00AM, wait for the morning shift employee to drag a few body bags out to the dumpster and ask what's in them. You don't see expired food on shelves, and they don't sell it all the night before. Stores are all about excess and showing people that they have a great selection, the cost is that more food is wasted per day than one person could carry.
As for target shooters, Gunny eats his kills.
I've wondered what people must think of car racing with gas prices rising and a supposed shortage looming.
