Because if there's one thing you want to do with nine other dudes, it's dress up like the Brady Bunch and re-enact the Marcia-getting-hit-with-a-football episode (you get to be Alice!), but if there's another, it's a 10-dude, 6hr skeet-skursion in Carmel Valley, now available at Holman Ranch.

This overnight guy-venture'll see you 4x4 your way across 400 acres of private, vineyard-equipped land, shotgun clays outta the sky on an 1800ft hillside, then party at this 84yr-old gentleman's retreat where you'll each have your own on-property bungalow -- all for a per-dude cost of a one-night stay in a nice Vegas hotel.

Post-skeeting amenities'll include the first pool ever built in Carmel, bocce and horseshoes by candlelight, and a game room with boar heads, steer horns, an 8ft-wide projector screen, tufted brown leather couches, a stock-it-yourself bar, darts, and a poker table -- so clearly this place is straight flush.

And because studies've shown that skeet shooting'll seriously lower your BAC, get it back to normal for Christ's sake on Carmel's two-minutes-away winery row. Just ask nicely and they'll shuttle you there, then pick you up after hitting 15 tasting rooms in a half-mile stretch, also what people are calling your proposed very Brady reenactment because somebody can't pull off the signature Cindy lisp.
