So it is pointless … but y’all know you want to try it 😉

Thanks to Jason for twittering me the video.

Hey guys...I'm the shooter. It was a waste of 5 bucks, but don't we waste much more in a couple plinking trips? There was actually a rotten pumpkin in the water that I was trying to hit, and I almost did. We have put several hundred rounds through the weapon in much more appropriate contexts...i.e. the range or blowing up random objects. Below is a link to another video of Chad (the owner) firing a round at a boulder over 2 miles away. Since it was an API round, you can see the flash of the round hitting the rock...even from my crappy cell phone video.
