actually i used to play lawn darts. me and my brother would sharpen them on a grinder then throw them at trees. and they stuck. lol
yeah .. we were the "bad kids" on the block.
bahahahahaa
ever had one of these?
we had a pair of these too. until "little brother" got them taken away. he took a dare by another "bad kid" who bet him he couldn't shoot out a neighbor's street lamp with one shot. and he did! great shot! problem was .,. the neighbor saw him do it and busted a dime on us to the Old Man. he was not happy with his wayward progeny
bahahahaha
we got so good with these wrist rockets mere archery like target shooting became boring. we could hit a bullseye at 50 yards every time. so we came up with a new challenge .. we went to a used record store and bought a bunch of old records on the cheap then we'd tie them to a tree branch with a string and swing them .. ya had to hit it on the move.
we even got so good at that it also became boring
it wasn't that hard really .. like many things in life ... it's all about timing
bahahaa
then we eventfully invented "redneck skeet shooting" and no we weren't kids by then. it's a gun thing.
with the help of .. "crazy cousin Larry" let's call him who was 10 years older than us and had some land out in the country we would go out and shoot on a target range he set up. we'd get a bunch of people out there. to party and shoot.
so i invented "redneck skeet shooting" because yet again regular target shooting was boring pretty much everyone there was an expert marksman.
so we needed a new challenge and TWK once again invented it just like shooting swinging records with slingshots ..
so what is "redneck skeet shooting"? it's going to a junk yard and buying a bunch of cheap car hubcaps and then taking them out to "crazy cousin Larry"'s land.
what we would do is .. someone wearing a work glove to avoid cutting their hand .. would stand off the the right about 20 yards from the shooter and about 30 yards forward and toss the hubcaps up in the air and the goal was to shoot the hubcap in midair
we had several who hit the hubcap twice. i however was the only one ever to hit it THREE times. only ever did it once .. but i did do it!!!! and a friend has video of it .. need to touch base with him for old times sake and ask if he can send it to me. i have a personal Ubooby channel .. if he sends it i can upload it
