firt time shooting.


shot mostly M1 30carbine rifle and 9mm pistol (Springfield Armory-xd tactical). Also shot a few rounds of a 44 magnum and a 38 special...

Nice shooting. What distance?

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Ehh... it's decent. I mean, not raggin ya pablo, since all your shots ARE in a headsized area, that's pretty decent (better than I've seen some cops manage.. not even joking!)... But your consistency just isn't there.. Looks like you could have some talent once you practice some though.. Next time, might I suggest shooting something in a .45 or .45ACP? Once you do, you'll never go back to 9mm..

Fun, ain't it?

I've been customizing a Rem 870 into a tactical shotgun, just installed an 18" barrel last night, I can't wait to shoot it.

no 12gauge @6 ft

[pantablo]

50ft. Longest distance this range had.

FIRST time shooting, ever. was aiming for head and chest only (lightest colored, center portion).

[ajaxgs]

almost too much fun ..... i use to do trap shooting with 12 ga and the range had a 100 yard targets for sighting rifles got to shoot some interesting pieces of hardware ...... almost an adiction

congrats

I totally agree...  But, I've met a few people that hate 45s...   

[pantablo]

I'll try a .45 next time...for sure.

[RVertigo]

They're nice and smooth...  Not jerky like a 9mm.

Some people think they're too slow...  But, I can fire a 45 more accurately at faster speeds than I can fire a 9mm.  I always end up missing one or two with the 9.   

Just like Glocks...  Some people live for 'em...  I can hardly hit the paper with 'em.

[pantablo]

I heard Glocks are sloppy. the baretta we had was uber sloppy. the SA-xd technical 5" barrel 9mm was really accurate. I didnt feel any jerkiness though-but have no point of reference. As I shoot more different guns I'll be better able to tell.

[ajaxgs]

what do they charge at the range

[pantablo]

the total was about $30/person and that included a gun rental each, 50 rounds of ammo each, targets, earplugs, etc...its all a la carte though. There were 6 of us so we would try each others guns...

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Glocks are sloppy in the sense of target shooting. For self defense/carry they are amazing. Because 99% of self defense will be done inside of 15 feet, and at 15 feet, I can put all 16 or 17 rounds through about a 3" circle, and keep all my double taps within a 6-8" circle, which is about the size of a face.

I like springfields, never fired the xd, I'm waiting on the commander (I think that's the right name) which is their 1911 in .45ACP.

Honestly though, why were you firing a 5" barrel pistol at 50 ft? Your groupings aren't bad for that distance (pretty decent, actually, I figured you were shooting at something more realistic like 15-20ft). Pistols are for self defense, until you move into competition grade pistols (les baer, kimber, etc). Self defense doesn't happen at 50 ft. Next time, try a .45 at about 15-20 ft.. you'll be amazed at what you can do. Unless your range sucks like the last one I went to, and DOESN'T CLEAN THEIR RENTAL WEAPONS AT ALL!!! WTF?

cheep fun

  I try to go shooting at least two or three times a month.  A friend of mine who lives about 5 min. away has a 100 yd. range on his property.  Comes in handy cause I've got enough guns to outfit a small army.
Last month I picked up a few more.  I got a Russian SKS and put a composite folding stock on it and 30 rd. magazine. Not known for being a naildriver but it's a good SHTF rifle.


Also picked up a Saiga .308, hard to beat for the price.


Here's my wife at the range shooting our .500 Magnum, the gun is almost as long as her arm!

[RVertigo]

I see three guns in that picture... 

Do you two arm-wrestle to see who gets to be on top?

+1.

try to get the cluster about half that size.  When I was still shooting, I was able to shoot a cluster of 10 shots in a 4in cluster.

but only when I was concentrating...  when I wanted to fool around, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.


good shootin' Tex!

  My wife is a little powerhouse.  She works out about an hour every day, she's good motivation for me to stay in shape also!
