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!
I had/have a chance for an SVT-40 this week got some things in order at the bank(nice load removed) but have passed for the moment.I just could not justify it quite yet.The SVT-40 has been on the short list of wants for a couple of years now and supposedly a non-import marked rifle!Have to see how this works out.Cheers
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...
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.
