A promotional / fundraising stunt put on by a Charlotte, NC radio show:
Raising some money for the USO of North Carolina, Woody put on a trash can and headed out onto the driving range. Did I mention that in addtion to driving golf balls at him with a golf club, you could also FIRE AN AR-15 at him?!? $1 per ball for a golf shot or $5 per ball to fire a golf ball from an AR-15 rifle at Woody. All the proceeds went to the USO of NC and Purple Heart Homes.

If you want to pick up an AR-15 Golf Ball Launcher for your own stupid stunts they are $25 over at Amazon.
Pointing an AR-15 at someone and pulling the trigger with or without a golf ball attachment, unless you’re planning on killing them doesn’t sit well with me. The stunt did benefit the USO though which is a bonus, but I can’t see that organization being too thrilled about the method of fund raising. I guess you can’t bite the hand(s) that feed you.
What’s next? A real revolver contestants can play Russian roulette with, but instead of a real bullet there will be a fart stinkbomb capsule that will get broken by the hammer. That person will be the winner. Sounds equally as irresponsible and dumb.
Ooooo i’ve got another one. A .50 BMG that contestants can wrap their mouth around the end of, but instead of real cartridges in the magazine, they will all be duds except for one that is filled with Redbull! That person will be the winner.
I guess you just have to “hope” no one slips in a real round. Wasn’t that on one child’s play movie?
Thoughts? More dumb ideas?
Unsurprisingly it boosted sales. Really neat idea. You can listen to the full unedited commercial
