I just thought of a rendezvous down in Moscow, ID that I used to enjoy.
On Sunday afternoon, they had something called Stupid Shoots.
One of them was they hung several half gallon milk jugs in a tree and you had to stand directly under one and shoot straight up and break the jug.
If you didn't get any water on you, you got points, if you did, you were out.  It's more difficult than you think.
With my arthritic neck, I am not sure I could even look straight up and aim the rifle anymore.  Oh well.

Now...THAT sounds like a fun thing to try. I'm going to try that when it warms up..!

On this day in 1842, Mexican general Rafael Vasquez, with 700 soldiers, occupied San Antonio.

Unable to raise an army in time to resist this invasion, the Texans surrendered and evacuated the town without a fight. Vasquez raised the Mexican flag over the town and declared Mexican laws in effect. On March 9 the Mexican army abandoned San Antonio and began to withdraw to Mexico. The incident was part of a series of raids and counterraids in 1842 as Mexico sought to recover Texas and the Texans fought to maintain their independence.

When we had our shop in Coeur d'Alene, it was amazing how many people over the years came in moaning and groaning about the deer or elk that got away because they hadn't popped a cap or two before loading their rifle and going out on the hunt.   
You're not the first and you surely won't be the last, if that's any consolation. 
But you are the one that was captured on film doing that.   But the pistol did go off.
Good job on the videos, quite entertaining.

I'm still working on cutting a piece off the playing card every time with my hawk. Maybe if I accomplish that, then I can work on cutting a string with the hawk.
