    Yea those pics are staged, (just for the photo contest) I did shoot from that stool, but I used a set of Primos shooting stix for my rest.

    No one else is crazy enough to go with me when it's 104 degrees. So I have to sit the camera up on a tripod set the timer then get seated and fire within 10 seconds. So the rounds being fired there were actually being fired in the "general direction" of a tree. It's cool to catch the brass in flight! I had the camera set in front of me
    Photobucket
    and I fired a clip like this! (hoping to catch muzzle flash and brass in flight), but the first round caused the camera to "refocus" and put a 'lil bit of powder residue on the lens, lol! I thought for just a minute there I'd FUBAR'd a $600.00 Cannon Camera!
    I have this thing for "killing electronics" ya know!
    Photobucket
    Hope you guys have as much fun as I did! Good Luck and Good Shooting! Thomas

    Have you ever heard anyone complain about having ammo left over after a gunfight?"

    Made atrip to the range today to try and improve on a target for Shuffs Summer Postal Shoot
    Everything ready to go

    Beautiful day, mid 80's 10mph wind and had the range to myself!


    Took my CMP Rack Grade Garand VAR Barrel that Shuff reparked a f ew years back
    Shot several targets but couldnt improve on the one I shot the other day so this one is getting sent in

    Put the Garand away and got out the Kimber 82 for some rimefire fun

    I got tired of shooting holes in paper so set this empty case on my target frame at 50 yds. Second shot and score!

    Time to make it alittle tougher, I set some empty 22 cases on the target frame. Hit them but couldnt find them.
    OK ,now to really up the ante. Stuck 6 empty cases in the backerboard

    Wind picked up so it got tougher, had to really read the wind.
    It took a few rds but hit them all knocking them threw the carboard. I looked hard for the cases but never found them.
    Great day at the range!!

    I finally got to range this morning. Didn't forget the ammo or camera like last year. It was cooler (high 80's) and with a lot less humidity then it was for the past 2-3 weeks. But it was windy today too. I fired 2 clips to sight-in and then shot 5 more clips at the targets. The target looked a lot smaller this year though. This was the best one after the wind died down a bit.
    I was using my 5.88 mil SG and HXP 63

    Don't worry if plan "A" fails, there are still 25 other letters in the alphabet.

    Looking for S/A bayonets s/n 922033 & 1045220

    My targets have been sent and I'm looking forward to adding the Krag to my gun family.

    Hey guys, the deadline is sometime on August first, so you still have time.
