Big Sandy Shoot – Shooter Heaven On Earth

Every year, the Big Sandy Shoot draws in hundreds of shooter from all over the world, for what is known as the “largest shoot”. The Big Sandy Shoot is a bi-annual event, held in the western desert of Arizona, where you can shoot your heart out for three straight days. Featuring a 1500 foot firing line, 1200 yard maximum range, over 1000 reactive targets and aerial targets, this is one shooting exhibition you don’t want to miss, if you’re into this stuff. Machine-guns, gatling guns, bazookas, and pretty much every other type of weapon ever invented can be found at the Big Sandy Shoot. Shooters have to fork out $230 ($200 if reserved in advance) to participate and spectators just $25. Both have to sign a release waiver stating they enter the shooting range at their own risk. The average 3.5 million rounds fired at the Big Sandy Shoot certify it as the world’s biggest shooting event. I can’t say that impresses me much and regarding the safety, seeing women and kids handling deadly equipment isn’t very reassuring.

The Floppy Disk Art Of Nicky Gentry

Nicky Gentry has found a new purpose for the long obsolete floppy-disks that were once so useful as data-storage devices. But that was oh so long ago, in the 80s and 90s, and today a floppy disk wouldn’t be able to store your favorite photo. But artist Nicky Gentry found a way to give these seemingly-obsolete mediums a new meaning. He use floppy disk to express his artistic talent and express the idea that modern life moves at in increasing pace, where things are quickly created, used and disposed of.

The Phallic Monuments Of Love Valley

The appropriately-named Love Valley is a part of Cappadocia that features some rather exciting natural structures. Before you ask, no this is not where the annual Phallic Festival is celebrated, it’s one of Turkey’s most interesting tourist destinations. Apart from its breathtaking beauty and one of the best trekking places in Asia, Love Valley is famous for hosting a relatively large number of literally rock hard…willies. That’s right, the eroded volcanic ash monuments resemble phalli proudly reaching for the sky.
