My favorite is to shoot clocks, ones with big mainsprings that explode
when you hit them in the right place. My friend owns a jewelry store,
and they get crappy old clocks in all the time for repairs that are
never picked up when the owner gets the estimate for repairs that are
several times what the clock itself is worth after repairs.

One time, a spring flew an amazing distance when one of us hit it with a
44 magnum hollow point. There wasn't much left of the clock itself, and
the spring flew about 150 feet like a snake being tossed. Very
impressive. What a mess to clean up...


My high point, or lack of it, was finding an old TV set in the dump we
used to shoot in. Visions of a small atomic bomb blast came to our young
minds. We set up about fifty feet away and with quite a bit of worry and
excitement, let loose on the screen with the 22 bolt actions.

I still remember, with some bitterness, the absolute lack of anything
resembling excitement. There may have been a slight hiss of air entering
the holes. It must have been slight as it went pretty much unnoticed.

That's when I learned that the anticipation usually exceeds the
acquisition.
