Stand, and Deliver! ... my binkie.

That picture would so offend and freak out some people.

Took a friend shooting today. Her first time!
...
She had a blast, literally!

You know what they say, don't you? "The couple that shoots together, stays together--and has interlocking fields of fire."

If you're both "on-the-market" and you don't try to woo her, Thunder, you need your head examined.

The other saying relevant here: "Can't beat a girl who shoots!" (In this case "beat" meaning "do better than".)

Add a big smile from ear to ear on your nephews face and that would be my impression at a gun shop.

Both on the market, trying to woo as we speak. She's a tough one, though!

I believe that is the .577 Tyrannosaur. Is that correct Deacon?

Thunder...Very nice. How'd she do? Next occasion maybe get her a shooting vest. You know, something that's doesn't proclaim commitment, like say a gun, but enough to say "I care".

Lucky Strike, your nephew looks shocked at his good fortune.

This is my Pride and Joy, This started out as a .308 cal Remington 700 Police I swapped out the stock and added the Accuracy International Chassis and added a Jewel Trigger. Next I added the American Optics ST-10 Scope. 10X power.

I've never shot a more accurate rifle in my life! The target I'm shooting at in this picture is 500 yards away and about 12" in diameter. Unless the wind is blowing more than 10 mph it's very difficult to miss. My favorite targets are golf balls set up on empty shot gun shell "Tees" at between 150 to 200 yards away.

Great pics guys! I don't know what rifle that is in the video.

She did well. I taught her the 4 basic rules of shooting (her personal favorite: "keep yer booger-hook off the bang switch 'til you're ready to fire"). By the end she was repeating them to me.

Started off a little rough but eventually got use to it. She was picking off clay pigeons on the 25 yard berm with ease after a while.

She was brave enough to try the big guns even when I told her she didn't have to if she didn't want to. She wanted to. Shook like a leaf in the wind under the heavy recoil but was a good trooper.
I think we have a new convert.

Hmm, shooting vest, I like that idea...

I see we have another The LawDog Files fan in our midst... lol

Speaking of new shooters, here's a 2nd Amend. Day we held at my college a couple years ago.



Back in Sept. 2006 Northwestern Iowa College's "Second Amendment Supporters" group (SAS), of which I'm the head, held a range day.

The NWC College Republicans teamed up with the SAS and paid for ammo, clay pigeons, etc. while the SAS provided 3 .22 rifles and several 12 gauge shotties (brought by members) as well as 2-3 "range officers" to instruct people/keep the range safe. We had two sessions: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It drizzled on and off all day. This took place at a public range 13 miles from campus.

The morning session had the fewest people, roughly 10. One member brought his Springfield XD in .45 and everyone had a chance to shoot it. I have no pics from this session.

About 25 people showed up in the afternoon. Everyone who came and shot had a great time. Everyone was safe with good trigger discipline and there was no muzzle sweeping. Earplugs were provided by the SAS and while attendees were told to bring their own shooting glasses few did. Oh well.

The range day got on the front page of the campus newspaper and we recieved a positive response from all involved. The SAS and CRs were planning for another range day in the Spring of 2007 but the Virginia Tech shooting ended our plans for it (it was scheduled the same week as the V. Tech shooting).

Some pics.

The crowd. The "range officers" wore orange so others could find us easily in case of an emergency or if they needed help.

Me watching a first timer.

But of course!

Great pics guys! I don't know what rifle that is in the video.

That is an A-Square built Hannibal rifle firing a .577 TRex - 750 Grain. Funny video. Cape Buffaloes beware.

 

[Twitch]

Thunder- looks like a good time was had by all. It is great to introduce shooting to someone. Good work!

Beware? Beware of what? People stumbling backwards into them after firing?

(Nyati voice) Hey pal, watch where you're going.(/Nyati voice)

I think we used to call that and elephant gun.
I bet it could take down a T-Rex.

Doubtful--I've studied tyrannosaur A&P, and you'd probably want a 20mm Lahti for that.

Preferably from an airborne firing platform... Hellfire missile to center-of-mass would probably be optimal. I'm assuming you'd just want the head for a trophy?

Uh no. I want to have the whole thing Taxidermied for my summer house. Minimal skin damage is required. So I have to shoot him twice with the T-Rex. Maybe three times. [huh]
