Anvil Shooting

Post by Keith B »

This is a friend of mines cousin-in-law back in my home state of Missouri. Anvil shooting has been around since the pioneer days. Shows you a little about the power behind compressed gun powder. :shock: Don't try this at home. :nono: :biggrinjester:

Ok, I know I'd get a look from the wife if I ask for an anvil for Christmas, but if I ask for two.........

It looks like it would be quite a job to dig that thing out of the hole it made when it landed!! :txflag:

But it was funny!

That's a riot. I know that if I share this with my father-in-law, he'll be loading his anvils in the back of the truck in a matter of minutes.
