I've heard of that Cody museum and such, but didn't know you could actually
SHOOT stuff there! Will have to add that to my bucket list. ;-)

Only shot clays in the air once or twice, but I will set them up for
'reactive targets' for pistol and rifle though. :-)

Awesome! Just saw one of those in an email this morning...
