I saw something today that got under my hide in a big way. What if you were in a big store, and an antique JohnDeere tractor, or any old tractor was in there with a target painted on it. Plus the business offered to let you take pot shots at it. Well, at the new BassProShop, in CouncilBluffs Iowa, there is a electronic shooting gallery, put in money, get X number of shots with a toy rifle. There are stuffed animals around a simulated farm yard, with electronic targets on them. In the middle of this is a mockup of a JD tractor. I had to get closer to realize it wasn"t a Model H from the 40s. Besides the animals, some of which are sitting on this tractor, there are also targets on the lights and the radiator. Plus more targets on the simulated farm buildings. I got to thinking that do we need to encourage folks to shoot up old farmsteads and machinery? I don"t believe its sportsmanlike to shoot up other peoples property. I wonder if several dozen emails to BassProShops would make them rethink this. Like I said, it got me riled up. John in Nebraska
