Some time ago I was living in a rural mountain town. It was good hearted, hard working, gun toting America at its finest. Being the type who would never limit my own experience I came to appreciate the pros and cons of a town where the coffee shop also sells beer and shooting isn't only for hunting, it's just to shoot stuff.
It so happened that while I was living in town I worked at that coffee shop and discovered a great way to deal with the stress often incurred by having to work in customer service. While I never felt the need to spend a lot of money on a gun and was never interested enough to sell my first born to pay for ammo. In a town like the one I lived in, it was still pretty easy to go and shoot stuff.
Part of the fun was taking a crate of Torani bottles, Torani is the brand name of the bottles of flavored syrup we used, up into the hills and setting them up on the rocks to use them as target practice. It sounds worse than it is, glass breaks back down into sand over time and I always cleaned up the big pieces as well as the labels.
