Normally for the 4th of July I might use it as an excuse to poke a few holes in targets. I have a new 9mm carbine and a new 5.56 pistol I have been wanting to break in I thought about grabbing a couple 30 rd mags for each then I remembered how much ammo costs these days and decided to fire off a single 12 ga shell instead, that and the landowner behind me had recently moved cattle onto the 360 acres adjacent to my place this limits my possible range firing angle to a few degrees down range which would not be a problem as I have a half mile of my own property in that direction but there is no high berm there either
