This was just one of those things that you just had to be there to appreciate. We were shooting today off of our elevated bench at 300 yards. This wood boring bumble bee, ya know the big ones was minding his own business just buzzing around the platform. The guy shooting on the platform lets one go. Well we shoot TRG's with the muzzle brake. Guess nobody from bee school ever told Mr. Platform buzzer about the gas pressure coming off the brake. I was standing about 4 feet away and slightly behind the shooter, when all of sudden Mr. Platform buzzer gets caught in the sideblast and comes tumbling through the air past me, landing 10-7. It was one of the strangest and funniest things I have ever seen on a range. Couldn't duplicate in a million years!!!

I was shooting my AR, prone, all snapped in during the highpower league one time when a bee decided to stop for a break on the top of my flash suppressor. Needless to say I immediately broke a shot. Flying bee parts!

I like shooting them with a Daisy Red Rider. I'll get a hit about one in 10 or 12 shots. Asolid hit will cause them to explode. Be sure of your backstop. I shot out a light assembly .
