Even in my younger days (many many years ago) I never shot bottles at the range.... my cousin and I would shoot em as they floated down the river instead, lol. At least the fish can't step on that broken glass.

And yes, I do know its very illegal to do that, but that was way back when in a different California than today.... I always try to leave the range better than the way I found it now days. But damn shooting those moving bottles in the water was fun with our Colt AR-15s...

I don't get why anyone would destroy something that has a 5 cent CRV value. Every time I pick up a bottle or can off the roadside I think "another shotgun shell for me!"

As does shooting road signs. Efing idiots.

Awaiting the video...

Beer bottles are not good targets, it gives us gunlovers a bad name.

So.... Your saying,you never in your entire life. Shot a glass bottle?
Oh and thank you for calling me STUPID on this forum.It tells me a grate
deal about what you think of others. You can get off that white horse now. PS mind you own business........

I have NEVER shot glass. I was taught the implications at a young age. My dad told me the animals would slice their tongues licking their wounds. Plastic, clay, paper, soda, water bottles, oranges, apples, Tannerite, rabbits, deer, pigs, ducks, quail, and the occasional coyote.

P.S, This is how to spell GREAT.
You're the one who stepped in the scat. With both feet.

I'm gald you're not shooting glass anymore. It shows that you are capable of learning. Lots are not. Maybe I sould have said ignorant. Lots of young people just don't know what glass really does after they leave the range. If you want a great reactive target try Tannerite.

Well,when your done shooting for the day.You best go pick up all the lead you left in the field. We would not want to leave all that deadly toxic waste to harm the environment.Look what happen to Broderick in west sac.
Ok well since i killed a glass bottle ill turn in my fire arms and go hug some trees.

I shoot all copper. Its for the condors

I didn't realize Broderick was turned toxic from lead bullets. Was there a range near there? Haven't been in the area that long.

What makes everyone feel better is

Pack it in
Pack it out

[tonelar]

the reason I don't shoot at glass bottles etc is primarily cause I'm just not disciplined enough to get every last shard of the stuff.

I bet that Talon .22 is a ton of fun... great army men shots

[Seesm]

I will no longer be shooting glass.Do you feel better now?

I feel better as it shows me your a smart person... And smart people with guns rock!!

Here are some fun targets shoot at in your back yard .And clean ups a breeze.That is a .22 talon PCP @ 980 fps from 34 yards.ya not a powder burner, but still fun.

Yeah .22 LR will break glass. No, I don't think it's ever a good idea to shoot a glass target.



Nice video Spec 4 Guy. What kinda zoom were you using? That's a great video camera that can zoom in from 317 yards away.

I broke a neighbors window once shooting a Red Ryder in my back yard. BB deflected off concrete. Had to replace the window (pretty expensive on a grade schooler's budget).

I've never shot any bottles that weren't plastic or containers that weren't aluminum or tin.

It was a HD vid cam mounted on a 18 to 36 power spotting scope.

I can't believe this question was even asked

Doesn't make you a stupid felon, but it makes you irresponsible.
You have access to that shooting area, so what makes you think a family may not also go out there to enjoy a picnic away from the noise and crowds?
It's easily within the realm of possibility... much more so than your aunt having a pair.

Besides... BLM rules specifically prohibit shooting glass on BLM land... so while you may not be a stupid felon, you may be committing an infraction, and are a part of the reason we are losing BLM shooting areas unless you pick up all of your debris.

You guys assume way too much.Do you know where that rang is located at. And if any one where to have a picnic there,they would not live long enough to enjoy there meal .And last I checked the map,that is not BLM land. You saw a 30 second video and you have no idea what happened before or after that time.The rifle range would be the last place I would pick to have a picnic. end of rant I will no longer be shooting glass.Do you feel better now?

Ya and if my aunt had bal#s she would be my uncle.And ifs and buts where candy and nuts,We would all have a merry Christmas.
the OP whanted to know if a .22 could brake a bottle. I just gave him proof that it could.guess that makes me a STUPID dangerous felon.

chill the f*ck out dude...
