I saw a kid in tactical gear pick up an M44 on a dare and proceeded to attempt to handle it like an AR. He had a priceless reaction the moment he let off the first shot.
Best time I had was about 30 years ago at a pistol range in Cedar Falls, IA. I was shooting a Browning HiPower 9mm, and the lady next to me was shooting a 38Special.
After repeated firing and loading and talking to lady while reloading and noticing that weather had improved, we took off our coats. I immediately noticed her outstanding attibutes, which were properly displayed in a white t-shirt. (you know where this is going). When shooting the next clip load, one of my brass loanded in a "good" spot, which caused her to drop her revolver, reach in top of shirt while hopping around, couldn't find it, ripped off t-shirt to find it stuck between both! We were the only ones there at the time. I offered my services of rubbing lotion on affected areas, and we ended up back at my place to further treat her for exposure. Also, worked on reloading, and further shooting. Then we cleaned the guns, and scheduled our next training session.
Why can't this happen now, on my 59th birthday?
Happens all the time at the NRA Whittington Center. They have a rule against harassing the wildlife, so the deer and pronghorn will wander right through the ranges.We had been there blasting away for a couple of hours when 3 mule deer decided to stroll through our shooting area. They came within about 15 yards of us, stopped for a second and looked at us, then continued their journey on down the range. strangest thing I've ever seen.
I bought a box of 9mm to run in a new LC9, had so many FTF in the first 25 rounds had to waste 100 rnds of carry ammo just to make sure it wasn't the pistol.I don't know if others will find it funny, but I sure found it stupid. I shot a box of Fiochii 9mm through a new Walther PPQ. No problems. I then grabbed the next box of ammo, which was by Sellier & Bellot. It wouldn't extract. I tried several rounds before quiting.
After checking the size of the round with a caliper, I discovered it was 9mm Browning.
Wow, that was a great shot!As dumb kids in school, I shot a .22 caliber pellet straight into the air to see if we could hear it land. We did. It came down and nailed the base of my thumbnail. It was about 0 degrees out that day. No gloves, cold hands. Yea, it felt great...
I bet the neighbors heard it land too hahaAs dumb kids in school, I shot a .22 caliber pellet straight into the air to see if we could hear it land. We did. It came down and nailed the base of my thumbnail. It was about 0 degrees out that day. No gloves, cold hands. Yea, it felt great...
