Firearms-related personal goals?

[echo3mike]

Taking some time away from the rifle to concentrate on my handgun skills... I'd like to get to the point where I can shoot respectable groups at 25 and 50 yds... gain some IDPA / USPSA skills... maybe get in some more LR rifle matches next summer...

Firearms I'd like to own...hhmm..oughta get an AR platform for HP at some point... CMP Garand before they're gone... Rem 870 or a Mossburg 500 ... something full auto would be nice... a lever action and / or revolver in some strange black powder caliber... some high end air / smallbore rifle...


Oh, yeah.. and some place way the heck out there where I can spend all day running, lifting weights and shooting all day long, then drink beer and chill out at night.

It's my fantasy...I can do what I wanna !!

Start shooting more regularly so I can get better at it. My rifle skills seriously suck right now.

Get my CCW license.

Persuade my girlfriend that she needs to learn to shoot.

 

[artherd]

Two words;

Vulcan Cannon.

1. Qualify SSP/EX in IDPA. MM -> SS was relatively easy, but SS -> EX will be a lot harder.

2. Start reloading. I don't have any other guns that I really want to buy, but I'd like to shoot the ones I have a lot more.

 

[JShirley]

Get good enough to shoot .5" groups from field positions, after strenuous physical exertion, with boring regularity.

Either start my own ammo company, or work with an ammo manufacturer to produce several different types of innovative shotgun ammunition for personal defence from humans or larger threats.

Hunt Africa and Alaska.

Teach my children to shoot. Teach at least one grandchild to shoot.



I think maybe those last two goals are most important.

What Werewolf said and I would like to get the opportunity to attend any and as many of the shooting schools as possible.
Especially Thunder Ranch before it closes down.

[geegee]

I've gotten to the point that although a great many firearms interest me, it's primarily a 1911 and an AR15 that really get me excited about shooting. Recognizing that, I'd now like to really ramp up my skills with both by taking more training classes in the coming year. Becoming competitive would be a plus. geegee

 

[Kenneth Lew]

1. Transferable Powder Springs Mac M-10 (need to make offer on their gun, just for s%#t and grins)
2. Get at least 1 HK sear and 1 AR DIAS from a person that is sitting on at least 40 of them (he won't sell BTW, like I can ever buy one from him).
3. Transferable MP-40.
4. Transferable MG-42.
5. Transferable Vollmer Krinkov.
6. Transferable Rr Streyr Aug.

In that order.

Word!

 

[Prodigalshooter]

Move up a category in IDPA, in CDP at least, in the next year. I'd like to do it in SSR too, but that may take a bit longer, as I'm reaaallly slow at my reloads

 

[igor]

2004:

- gain classification in IPSC
- get to partake in our nat'l military 3-gun championships and finish in the top 50%
- start reloading

same or later:

- get a 1911 pattern pistol and learn its ins and outs
- get a decent long range rifle and becóme.. say... comfortable shooting it
- learn to take elk and fix it for food (the cooking part I got down already)
- find the limits of my talent in the shooting sports I do

 

[Correia]

In 2004:

Win more local matches.

[lee n. field]

To be well equipped.

To be well trained.

10 rounds, 20 yards, one single ragged hole (handgun). 5 rounds, 100 yards, one single ragged hole (rifle). Riiiight.

To live in a free state.

To see anyone who ever participated in restricting our rights under the Second Amendment, from the President, Congress and Supreme Court, down to the cop on the beat, face jail time or strict restitution. To see anyone advocating restrictions on Second Amendment rights being held in the same level of social disgust as, say, the KKK or American Nazi Party.
