I would've been waaaaaaaaaay more impressed if the metal targets had been different sizes, or hollow, and made different sounds when struck. But, to put that many rounds downrange at that speed (beats-per-minute?), he had a really good hit rate!
 
Steve, better than excellent. I'm waiting for the 12/21/12 "end of the world" the whackos are going to be out in full force

they finally found a reason to recycle ( or sell off ) all the stuff they bought for the Y2K catastrophe that didnt happen.
 
A Texan was stopped for speeding and the officer noticed a pistol lying on the seat.

The officer asked, "Is that your 45?"

The Texan replied, "Yes, and I have a permit to carry it. I also have a 38 under the seat, a 22 in my boot and a 12 gauge in the trunk."

The officer asked in dismay, "What are you afraid of?"

The Texan replied, "Not a damn thing."

Got a new shooter convert last weekend! My Mom and sister were up from Austin for Kaylen's birthday (she turned 3 on the 3rd), and after all the hubbub was over, we were sitting around bored, and I suggested we hit the range. She's been saying she'd like to go, and I would have loved to have had Mom come along, but someone had to watch Kaylen. LOL So we went shooting...started her out with the .22cal Walther P22 (its pink. No. Its not mine. Belongs to my soon-to-be sister-in-law.) and old Winchester .22cal rifle. Made things easy on her, and kept the target at the 9' range. She had a fairly decent size cluster, once she got comfortable with the sights. After a few turns up on the line, she asked if she could try Jalissa's 9mm. She liked that one even better! Its been almost a week, now, and I'd be surprised if she doesn't have a handgun at home already. LOL

Dunno, RA...you sure that pink .22 isn't yours? lmao

Seriously though, it's good to see they enjoyed themselves at the range.

As for me, I just discovered that I can't replace my 1911 because the great state of California says that a 1911 doesn't pass the "drop test", therefore cannot be purchased...

I cannot print my thoughts about that "law" here without running the risk of being banned from the server for life...
 
Oh, its no problem, Grau, just use the board's "Bleep" function. Your post would look something like this:

"California's *bleep* *bleep* drop *bleep* test can go *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* an ugly *bleep* sheep while *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* with a 2x4. Furthermore, *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* hippy *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* liberals *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* *bleep* 1911's!"
 
Right on target RA, I feel the same about Illinois gun restrictions, i.e. cannot even TOUCH a gun at a dealer without the silly FOID card. I am still amazed at Arkansas relaxed laws and very simple concealed carry permit. If/when stopped by a cop I must show the card, my DL, insurance card, and car reg. There are severe penalities if you do not show the card. No "I forgots" acccepted.
 
Gotta love Kalifornia. Beautiful state. Lived there for 10yrs. I wouldn't spend another minute there if you paid me. Unfortunately, Washington state is so lame that they are unable to establish their own destiny via independent leadership, so we do what Kalifornia does, just 10-15yrs later. Kalifornia really has become so different from the rest of the country that I don't think most citizens who live there even realize it.
