Corn Cob bullets

[ChadAmberg]

New shooting sport perfect for Colorado: bicycles and guns.


Original article

Last fall, Powell engaged in, and perhaps created, a sport in which participants ride mountain bikes on a course and fire handguns at targets. Along with the sport, Powell created the Police Bike Action Shooting Association Inc. (PBASA). Memberships are available for individuals and bicycling clubs.
...

Powell’s sport is based on Cowboy Mounted Shooting, which is basically the same thing except players ride horses instead of bikes. (Powell rode horses his whole life until he retired from the Army Corps of Engineers after 39 years.)

He set up a one-tenth-mile track on property near Marianna, where he tied balloons to six stakes, and loaded his six-shot .357 Ruger with blanks that fire “corn cob media” that spray tiny flaming particles that can pop a balloon from about 20 feet.

It'll never get respect if you have to wear those funny shorts.

hmm... looks like "mounted shooting" for those that can't/won't ride a horse...

The more, the merrier in my book. I'd prefer a motorcycle/dirt bike obstacle course with jumps/muds/etc though to a pedal.

It could be a Colorado/Redneck duathlon - ride your mountain bike through the woods and take down the targets...I am in.

Where's my little pony?

Is it me or does that guy have a "I just crapped myself" look on his face?

I bet there are more firearms enthusiasts with bicycles than there are with horses so I say let it roll.
