Target shooters would make alot of sense, thanks for the insight. It actually 
gave me a bit 
of a  scare as I not real fond of killing animals, or witnessing such an event, 
or being in the 
vicinity of people with guns.

sound before 
and was wondering if it could be something else, though it does call in time 
with the 
chorus.
