Whats the daily bag limet on Dr Pepper cans.

[charlie cleveland]

no limit as of now but you know there use to be no limit on crows and such...but as you know that could change anytime... think ill go shoot some dr pepper cans as of rite now... charlie

My eye sight is bad. I use 2 liter plastic Dr Pepper bottles.My percentages are better maby 5 or 6 holes in a bottle. Hopefully if they out law cans there will be a loophole for plastic. They will probable put a bore size limit on cans and bottels and you won't be able to use your 8ga shotgun.

[charlie cleveland]

may have to start hoarding my cans...and thanks for the warning ill have to start telling everbody that old 8 ga is really a 410.... what do you think they ll believe me.... charlie

[wayne goerres]

Only if there eye sight is as bad as mine. My daughter drinks Dr Pepper in a can. Maby I can get her to save her cans. I saw a spud gun on TV today. We will probable all be rearming with these be for long.

Man, sure wish I could shoot loads like that in my 10ga Parker lifter. Just made a post with my problem.

[wayne goerres]

My parker lifter is gentle as a lamb and that was with black powder loads. Try some black powder paul. If memery serves I used 3 drams 2f 1 oz no 6s and a fiber wad calum. Gun had very little recoil and it only weighs 8 pounds.

Charlie how long do you have to cook those Dr. Pepper cans to make them tender enough to eat? I tried boiling clay pigeons but after 5-6 hours they were still too tough so I just shot at them. I don't know of another use for the darn things. Years ago there was a contraption that I believe used a .22 blank cartridge to propel a pop can into the air so it could be shot at. I haven't seen one in years though. I don't think it ever was a big seller.

you have to cook the dr pepper can to your tatse..some likem rare but me i like mine well done.. never seen one of those contraptions that used a 22 blank to propel a can but i think it was a neat idea..i dont know which would be the hardest to find now a can throwing contraption or the 22 blank... charlie
