ahhhh i’ll be working. Maybe this weekend or even next weekend. i just got a new toy i’d like to play with.
Hey I live in willyville but I’m totally down. Does anyone meet up around here to shoot? I’ve got a couple of things but most recently a .17HMR that’s pretty fun.
this but darker, with bipod
i wanna get out and shoot sometime, someone banged my scope and it off again.
i just got a new .22 marlin 39 golden-a nothing real special but still a hell of a lot of fun. i really want to shoot some trap soon
Marlin makes a fantastic .22, they last forever. Ever use the aguila SS ammo?
i haven’t used this at all, yet
my dad has a marlin lever action .22 mag. I can put a hole through a dime at 50 yrds np, and a through a quarter at 75 np. Not bad considering its only got a crappy 4x scope with a shitty objective.
Don’t get me started on .22 mags. They’re sooo pointless. But hey Akron is pretty close (I lived there for essentially 3 years), where do you go shooting?
update not working on tuesday, is this still going down?:eekdance:
The .22 mag is a VERY good small game round. Great for varmint as well, and is just plain fun to shoot. Ammo is VERY cheap, they are an incredibly accurate round, and for its caliper and weight it is a freakin tac driver. I hunt rabbit and squirrel, and if you are closer than say 20 yards it will literally blow a squirrel apart. Hell, people that poach deer use a regular .22 LR. Its not very loud, like no flash, and if you shoot a deer in the head it will drop. Only thing is you have to be VERY careful when hunting with a .22 not to shoot too high because those little fuckers will travel well over a mile. To my knowledge the laws of gravity are still in effect sooo…don’t wanna be killing someone.
As to where I shoot…well that depends WHAT I’m shooting really. My dad is a member of the Wood and Brook Sportsman’s Club and they have a really nice range there, with markers for yardage. The farthest you can shoot from is a tree line that is 300 yards. I always sight my stuff in for 50-75 yards because there is nothing I hunt that I will shoot at past that. They also have 2 trap houses. I’m thinking of joining the spring league for trap. I can also shoot behind my house, gots a big’ol field back there, and there is a shooting range with nice burms for backstops like 10 mins from me if that. Let me know whe you guys wanna shoot. I’m down. I have a portable trap thrower too if anyone wants to come out sometime and do that. Like I said, big field behind my house.
I finally got my new Larue mount for my Christmas present (Leupold Vari-X III) I need to go sight her in, and figure its like shooting fish in a barrel, I would go to the indoor range one of these days. Who in the gun crowd wants go join me?
Bah if I wasn’t so far away i’d love to come shoot, my Hi-point 9mm has been sitting at home for far too long
bump for spring 09’
I need to get my sight dialed in on the AR. I had it damn close and the wife managed to somehow bump it out of whack.
I would like to go shoot my AR. Where? When?
I usually go out to the indoor range on NFB.
Anyone know of a decent place outdoors to shoot? I have yet to fire my AR outdoors.
I was thinking that indoor range on NFB as well. I’ve never been there though.
it’s a pretty nice range. the building is damn near brand new. although it’s like $18 per person for an hour of shooting. It’s usually my wife and I that go together, so $40 for us both to shoot, not counting ammo kinda sucks.
but it’s definately an option. I just went this past weekend. I try and go every other weekend if possible.
$18 for an hour is pretty expensive. I’ve heard about going shooting at the “Alabama Swamps”? Maybe local gun clubs? IIRC Holland has an outdoor rifle range.
The swamps is the place to go. Free, nice lanes. Just get there early. I am up for shooting if you guys wana get together.
I would like to go too but my parents own a bunch of property in Otto so I usually shoot there for free. i would invite everyone but i don’t want it to get out of hand… how many people are in?
