Finally got a little time to put a page together with what I consider "the best of the best"... Takes some time to load so be patient, and enjoy...

Mauserlady's Birthday Shoot 2003 (http://www.coneville.com/mauserlady/shoot/birthday_shoot_2003.htm)

[El Tejon]

Looks like a good time. Happy Birfday, Ma'am. Nice snake boots.

I thought California banned shooting on public land back in '89 under Roberti? Was that just with the dreaded "assault weapons"?:confused:

[FPrice]

What a GREAT birthday party! Looks like folks had some SAFE firearms fun. Imagine what kind of apoplexy fits the bliss-ninnies would have seeing so many American citizens of all ages and both sexes indulging in such sport shooting. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed Beetle Bailey shooting his SKS:

Looks like the recoil is about to land him on his keister!!! :D

[El Tejon]

Now, Father, those poor souls in California just need guidance. Take a long weekend and shepard them.:D

[BamBam-31]

Nah, his SKS is a kitten. Look at the muzzle end--no, that's not a launcher, it's an AK-74 brake. Recoil is mild. ;)

Great pics, Mauserlady! Thanks for putting that site up! :D

[Beetle Bailey]

Preacherman The recoil on the SKS is like nothing (heavy carbine plus baby-size round). ;) I fired 240 rounds thru the SKS that day and never got my pants dirty :D .

[DJJ]

The picture of me and Blackgun provides proof of how evil AKs are. If you even look at one, you'll turn to stone. That's why my eyes are closed. :o

[cool45auto]

Looks like a good time. I feel sorry for the cake!:eek:

[50 Shooter]

Here's a pic from the wrong desert shoot but Mauserlady was there. I tried to get there but I got home to late from work to make it. Whens the next one?

[stellarpod]

Man, that looks like a bunch of fun! We need to do a "birthday shoot" here in Oklahoma.

Thanks for the pics Mauserlady.

Nice birthday party! Wish I had access to a place like that to shoot.

One comment: Just looking at this picture of Kevlarman's shooting from this position hurts my foot - I sure couldn't make mine turn like that.

Terrific B-D party. That's the way to spend it too. Nice, safe, with no shortage of FUN.:cool:

[P95Carry]

Great day Mauserlady ...... thx for the pics. First class venue too it would appear. Pity about the cake .. :D



50 shooter ........ LURV those mortars!:evil:

[Kevlarman]

Funnily enough, I can no longer turn my foot that way; I sprained my ankle at work and it's not fully healed yet. :banghead:

[Kaylee]

cool -- I LOVE the one with Kevlarman with a Mauser and DJJ with an M1 right beside each other. Old enemies now friends I guess. :)


Say... Beetle, on your SKS with the muzzle brake -- I see you still have the bayonet on it. Can the bayo lock into extended position with the brake on there?

-K


oops.. and oh yes -- happy belated birthday! :)

[natedog]

I wish I could have made that one....

[Kevlarman]

Oh yeah, I found that Royal Robbins 5.11 pants have an integral holster system built in:

[twoblink]

Well, wish I could have been there..

Glad it was fun, will try to join you sometime when I'm back in the states..
But I doubt I'll be living in the PRK anymore when I do!!

[Beetle Bailey]

Say... Beetle, on your SKS with the muzzle brake -- I see you still have the bayonet on it. Can the bayo lock into extended position with the brake on there?

Kaylee, yes my bayonette can still lock in place, though I haven't needed it since Mauserlady didn't ask me to cut the cake ;) . The story with that SKS is it's a Yugo SKS and since I'm in California, the grenade laucher had to be removed before shipping. What they did with mine was to cut the threaded tip off of the rifle, leaving about one inch of the unthreaded part of the GL stub. So I had my gunsmith weld on an AK-74 style muzzle brake for both functionality and to cover up the unsightly stub. As you may know, the bayonette locks on a ring just behind the GL, so the only issue is clearance of the top (back?) of the blade not hitting the muzzle brake. Luck for me, my gunsmith did a great job and the bayo is fully functional, as is the muzzle brake for that matter. Thanks for noticing!

[Holly76201]

Mauserlady. Looks like you had a BUNCH o fun.

Thanks for sharing the pics.
I do have a question tho, if a squirrel was bothering the cake, why didn't somebody shoot it?

LOL

Holly

[Mauserlady]

Holly - I think the squirrel was going after the remnants of the cake, which didn't bother me in the slightest... Only reason I can think that no one shot it is: no one
wanted to eat it. :D

Thanks for all the belated "happy birthdays" and I'm glad y'all are enjoying the picture page. It was weird putting it together this time. I'm not usually in many of the shots as I'm the nut behind the camera... Daughter took over this time and I actually got to shoot more than normal and ended up in a few more shots than normal...


I keep saying it but it's really only because it's (aacckk) right around the corner, the next one will be New Years Day so pencil it in....

I thought California banned shooting on public land back in '89 under Roberti? Was that just with the dreaded "assault weapons"?

El Tejon, it is legal (last I heard) to shoot in unincorporated areas of Kern County.

[DJJ]

In my own defense, I should point out that the squirrel was about the size of a mouse, and was the same color as the ground. I managed to see it once, and the only thing I had loaded at that moment was my 1911. I did the best presentation to a braced kneeling I've ever done in my life, just as he disappeared behind the toaster.

As far as Kevlarman's grotesquely twisted ankle, the recoil from that Mauser is enough to take your mind off any other pain you may be experiencing. :eek:

[Damnathius]

I hate to break it to ya, but it was a chipmunk! Didn't anyone else ever watch Wild Kingdom?

Oh, and Holly, chipmunks are too damned cute to shoot. :) Well, I guess DDJ doesn't think so, but he probably woulda missed anyway, because to tell the truth, I didn't see a "toaster" out there either. ;)
