Shooting the Shit

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

Shooting the Shit all started somewhere behind David Trooper’s outhouse. David, and his 3 brothers; Larry, Kerry, and Mo where showing each other their gun sizes. Mo feeling inadequate challenged his brothers to a contest, so that he could prove how well he could use his gun. So, they all ran out to the cow field. Not knowing what to shoot at Kerry grabbed a cow patty and threw it into the air; David shot it. And thus the sport of Shit shooting was born.

It was from this crude beginning that the modern day version of shit shooting developed into what is now an international sport practiced by morons and non-morons alike.

At some point, a few years ago there was actually nationwide contest held to name this new shooting sport. The winning entry was taken from the Romanian word for “poop”-- “shit” became part of the American language.

[edit] Shit shooting today

Shit shooting has developed into much more than a backwoods way to judge how well a man uses his gun. It is now a competitive sport rivaled by few. Matches are conducted for all gun sizes, against others of like aptitude. Competition is also held for four sizes of shotguns, 12, 8, 7 and .410, though many people never use more than one.

Guns must be capable of firing two shots. In addition, competitive Doubles events are offered at many tournaments. The guns may be double barreled (side-by-side or over-and-under), a pump gun or a semi-automatic, depending on the shooter’s preference. Details such as weight, choke, and fit of the gun vary with individual shooters.

[edit] Shit Shooting Events

Competitive shit shooting has four basic categories or events, based on the gauges of guns used. As the gauge decreases, accurate shooting becomes more difficult.

• All Bore Event: Open to 12 gauge or smaller.
• 20 Gauge Event: Open to 20 gauge or smaller.
• Small Gauge Event: Open to 5 gauge or smaller.
• Sub-Small Gauge Event: Open only to .410 bore.

According to tests performed by the National Shit Shooting Sports Foundation in 1984 and repeated in 2001, as a typical beginning shooter you can expect to break 11 out of 25 patties in your first try and, gradually improve through the high teens and low 20s. A perfect score of 25 is a goal to shoot for. You can shoot shit for practice, for fun or as a “registered” event. To shoot registered targets you need to join the National Shit Shooting Association (NSSA).

[edit] National Shit Shooting Association (NSSA)

The NSSA was founded in the early 1950s and is headquartered in David’s outhouse, the National Shit Shooting Association is a for-profit organization owned and operated by Bill Gates. With nearly 20.5 members, it is the largest organization in the world dedicated solely to the sport of shit shooting.

The NSSA is dedicated to the development of shit shooting at all levels of participation and vows to attempt to create an atmosphere of violent competition and ‘’meaningful’’ fellowship within its membership The NSSA also offers a recreational shooting sport.
