Lol. Probably pretty fun trying to skip bullets off the water into it, though!

Makes a decent Haiku-
In the morning when
Wind does not blow on water
The mirage, brutal

It's high enough I don't have to worry about that.Lol. Probably pretty fun trying to skip bullets off the water into it, though!
Might be an interesting competition. Skipping bullets into gongs.
That's my 130 yard stop. It's interesting that I haven't had an issue until today.
I was regulated by the babies before. Now they where muffs and watch. So I got out earlier than I used to.

Plenty of potential haiku with this situation, here’s my contribution:
Ripples...sunlight...bad.
Rimfire, centerfire; I squint.
Next time must face North.
Stay safe

I would move the target closer so the water is out of focus. Dedicate it as a close range trainer for the kiddos and reevaluate conditions to set up a more advanced range for yourself and the kiddos when they are ready. On the other hand challenging environmental factors will ultimately make you better at hitting your mark. Use mirage as a wind check and verify your conclusion on wind speed. Learn how mirage can both help and hinder you. Precisely skipping bullets is not unheard of
I have a 50 yard stop on one bank. 130 on the other. My real range goes from the elevated bank to 420 or to 530 if you shoot from the back porch.
This was more of a slip outside. Shoot and come back in idea.
I had to Google haiku. I'm confused how it ties in with mirage.Makes a decent Haiku-

I don't really understand how haikus are supposed to work, but I like it.....

Yeah it would have been more clear, and still fit the 5-7-5 scheme to go with "the brutal mirage."

Snuck up on a groundhog one evening and nailed it with a nifty 90 yard shot right in the top of the rock.

For the unenlightened, a hakiu is a poem that dosen't need to rhyme that's 5, 7 and 5 syllables.
"Haiku's are easy,
But sometimes they don't make sense,
Refrigerator"

How did we go from range blooper to poetry lol
Depending on the person and blooper, it could be pure poetry....

In English, the Haiku should be 3 lines of text with the first and third lines being a total of 5 syllables and the 2nd (middle) line being 7 syllables. (This matches the 17 sounds used in traditional Japanese Haikus.)The lines are not supposed to rhyme. No punctuation is used and only proper nouns are capitalized. The theme of the poem should deal with nature using sounds or imagery.
To keep this firearm related...
this is my rifle (5 syllables)
my rifle is my best friend (7 syllables)
I must master it (5 syllables)

Sit upon the bench

maybe likes firearms a little bit…
the bullet Senryu
is as fleeting as it flies
at the blinding sun
the water is still
sunlight will float upon it
awash in mirage
snap said the primer
bang went the overt muzzle
clang was the cold steel
Nope. I Can’t get it.
There is much Senryu here
But sad, no Hiaku.
Let me try harder...
the bullets life arc
wanes and waxes like the leaves
at the end both fall
Again, without an English equivalent Kireji to foil the Kigo against, something gets lost in translation, usually the season.
Your thread is bullet poetry now, @Bfh_auto.
In, mostly, seriousness, you haven’t bought a bunch of cheap R/C boats and put targets or Tannerite on them yet?
You have a pond and firearms. I would think shooting at boats would be a natural progression...
My mom has a pool, but dad already said no!
