Some days I think he works at Target along with JimF. Other days I think N.E. Brigand is the General Manager at Target. Lol except I don’t work at Target... or anywhere for the last 6 months (half a year.. holy crap time “flys” when more at least stuck at house). 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought 12,500 rounds of 12ga shotgun ammo for my son to practice shoot for college. Shotguns don't need targets. Heh.

Varsity runs competitions. Varsity sells equipment. OK. Since I am not buying the idea that Varsity forces cheering units to purchase their equipment and gives them extra points for doing so, based on what we have seen so far, I fail to see an issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or as co worker who teaches gun safety said “if you hear someone in the next room, just aim for the sound. Drywall and pellets can be very painful”.

garfield Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Related: I was speaking with a commercial insurance provider of mine and discussing that Varsity provides insurance and a requirement that all contestants stay in the same hotel. His response: "Well, if I were insuring an activity the very first thing I'd do is control the venue and the kids' egress from the performance venue. Lock them down and keep control of them is the first priority in making sure you don't have to pay a claim." So, an UNPROVEN scenario might be that Varsity isn't corralling the performers in one authorized hotel to make a profit on hotel rooms but is, instead, controlling its liability under the insurance it writes for performers. Very interesting. I like my insurance guy. Edited September 4, 2020 by garfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shoots competitively for the college shotgun team. He got a substantial scholarship (he's a better shooter than snare drummer) to shoot that's worth many times more than the cost of the ammo so, for us, it's an investment in his college that's cheaper than tuition. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nice that you are supporting that. I didn't know that colleges had shotgun teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two sounds a burglar won't mess with: a barking (big) dog, and the reload action of a pump shotgun. My security system is connected to a "bark box" that sits just inside the garage and sounds uncannily like a german shepard. It barks loud when the motion detector trips. I don't think I'll bother trying to record the sound of my Ithaca 37 pump action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
