Range

Here is my normal range on the left in the pic. Under the Christmas tree was a pellet rifle target/trap with two small (2") orange flippers. They are on the right in the pic. The targets are 35-40 yards out. At this distance, I was not sure I could hit them. Well, I could 3 out of 5 shots. At this distance, you get people's attention shooting at 2" targets. On the left is an old IBM school bell (8") from the 50s hanging on a shepherd's hook and a large tomato can. I am sure they can hear it ring 100 plus times a day around here. Funny thing is, not one of these yuppie men have come over to ask if they could take a shot in the 8 years I have been shooting here....

You might also consider installing a trail camera so you can positively identify the person responsible for any future thefts. Then ask for the return of your stuff when you show the photos to them.

While you are forgiving the thief, you might also consider what made them take that action. Neighbors might not mind mild noise during the day, but might be upset with night time noise. You could muffle or limit the ringing at night... There might be some folks who need their sleep to recover from illness or who need to work the next day to support their families.

Good luck with your adventures
