... and it's been 2 good years...

[islandermyk]

I was just thinking earlier today... Sh*t! It's been 2 whole years being around firearms now... thousands upon thousands of rounds down range, had my fill with different types of cool toys, working on being an NFA whore (if I'm not already), and now reloading my very own rounds.... damn! It's been a good 2 years and still going strong [Coffee]


Thanks to this site and the fine members on here for making it happen. [Beer]



Now.... what to do next [Pepsi]

[islandermyk]

want a good laugh... ?

This was my first time out shooting my first pistol (HK .40S&W USP Tactical).. target was at 10 yards or less...

... and I honestly thought I was the sh*t [LOL]

[Tinelement]

^^^ Pretty sure I wouldn't want to be that target!!!

Pretty sure I don't wanna be any closer to you than 1500 yards either!!

[LOL]

I tried to return it... but no game... I was accused of poking the holes on it with a #2 pencil [ROFL1]

A dollar for every time I heard that one [Coffee]

I always end up in those Ramen noodle diets... [Beer]

[sneakerd]

Hmmm. Don't recall you shooting that well (with a handgun). Sure that wasn't my target?

Oh no... I got you on that one! Here's a pic of the first shots of the day that was made by you with my HK. (That rhymed [Coffee])
I took this pic which inspired me to work on the art of the jedi mind trick, GI JOE kung-fu, secret ninja technique learned that day...

[T-Giv]

^ Is that at Silver Bullet in WR?

[sneakerd]

Firing Line.

[funkfool]

Looks like you been practicing!
I'll need you to come clean with those Jedi tricks!
I tried to put a magazine from three different guns into 1" boxes at 10yds within 10 seconds each the other day...
My results:
http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac313/funkfoolery/target_shots/2012-11-14_15-58-39_650.jpg

Top: Beretta 92FS (~1.5" group)
Mid: XDsc in 9mm (worst - 2" group)
Low: Ruger SR1911 (~1.75" group)

I did the XD last - looks like fatigue was creeping in... (Yes, that's my story!)
I definitely need to get some tips from you guys... tighten up these groups.
Work on my Kung foo grip...
When we going to the range?

[sneakerd]

That there is some fine shootin' at 10 yards! Sure you're not already a Jedi master?

[funkfool]

I'm out of work and I have a membership to Frontier Sportsman - I usually hit the Fountain range... deserted...

Some day we gots to go out and shoot... right now I've been a little busy fixing my reloads... It's so much fun when you can roll your own [Tooth]

[sneakerd]

Yeah- but it's just medicinal!

[islandermyk]

That ain't even top shot material [LOL]

I wish I could shot a rifle as good as you shoot a pistol [Beer]

There was none used during the filming/photography of this target... [ROFL1]

I learned the way of the GI Kung fu grip technique from the Jedi ninja sifu Sneakerd [Tooth]

Is that anything like the swivel arm battle grip from my childhood?

But seriously. Gonna need to learn that one.

No secret... I probably went pass 12K rounds this year of shooting... just a lot of trigger time.
Sneakerd did help me out a lot with my shooting.. and I applied his teachings with the shooting I've been doing (especially with the pistol stuff).

The long range stuff I learned from a lot of reading and youtubing [Coffee]

"The bullet doesn't lie"... and just like everything else, I'm still working on it [Weight]

Regardless, These 2 years have been extremely fun... especially getting a chance to meet and shoot with the members on here...

[spleify]

Nice shooting Mike!

[islandermyk]

Nice shooting Mike!

Thank you [Beer]


I'm also glad through the 2 years I didn't put a hole or blow any of my appendages off [Coffee]

Still, no reason to get complacent... and I always try to remember be safe about everything and to SLOW THE F*CK DOWN...!

Yep, I still have a bad case and tendency of anticipation [LOL]

[edockham]

I agree i love going out to the range and spending the day shooting stuff up and each year it gets better and better.[Coffee]

[Danimal]

I had a good day shooting today too. I hit 10 clays in a row with my twelve gauge, and only missed about 10 rounds out of 80 or so fired. I ran through about 500 reloaded .223 and about 1000 22lr. It was a good day. My buddy hit three out of four targets (clay pigeons) at roughly 50 yards away 10 yards apart with my AR in about 3 seconds. It might have been faster. I missed all four because I crumble under pressure. I was impressed, I need to get out and practice more.

Shooting clay pigeons... that's something I didn't get into... I've tried it and enjoyed it, but really wasn't for me I guess.
.. but shooting clay pigeons 300 yards and out further... I do that a lot with my .308 [Tooth]
Regardless, it really does sound like you guys had a blast shooting today... [Beer]
