nielsen.. that was a joke right?  yes... firearms can kick.

greencloud.. I shoot at my brothers place or at yolo sportsman in Davis.   Would love to try out your 125 shifter kart... let me know when you are in the Dixon area.  I am the worst shotgun shot you have ever seen.

Drove my 468 elky so was not particularly safe but... I survived.

ra.. the mauser is a 1945 98k from mitchels mausers.. they are on the web.

I didn't think to bring a camera.

did I miss anyone?

No joke at all.. Some regular rifles can give you a kick in the shoulder.

Did you have a good session, and did you go with an instructor or solo?

Ra,

Check here: http://www.mitchellsales.com/

Girlfreind and my local gun shop Reed's in San Jose CA conspired to give me one for last christmas. They have 98K and Yugo 48 in grades from collector to service. 98k will cost you in the 4 figures. Yugo 48 $150-500.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

nilsen...I have shot hundreds of thousands of rounds in my life.  I assumed you knew that I shoot regularly.   I went to a range so there was a rangemaster there to make sure no one did anything dumb but the pistol range was pretty deserted so I was left to myself for the most part.

I am allways willing to learn about firearms but am fairly competent at this point.

I was shooting some guns I hadn't fired yet and some loads that I had cooked up.

I got my old worn out 44 mag super blackhawk to shoot 2" groups with a 250 grain cast lead semi wadcutter ahead of 12.6 grains of AA#5   The kimber was, as usual.... flawless..   as expected, firing the 340 pd brought a crowd around.   No one took me up on my offer to shoot it tho.   It cut my thumb on the 5th shot.

Nilsen...

are you oblivious to the fact that Lazs seems to know exactly what and how to shoot, and appears to have been shooting for a long long time, every other word he posts on the bbs appears to be about guns, and yet you appear to think this is his first time shooting? :rofl

The best would be to contact someone at the range that has some experience and ask them to show you (unless you have been in the military and know these things).

Enjoy, shooting can be fun :)



appears lazs responded about it at same time as me!

Thanks Bustr.  Yugo and Turkish ones are available everywhere.   I'd prefer a German one, though they may cost more than I would pay.

Oh, you are an expert :) Looks like you have shot alot more than I have. (Im guessing aound 1000 rounds) The last chapter had too much technical info in it and in the "wrong" language, but I trust you.

expert?  I know a little, never considered myself an "expert".  back when I was growing up everybody shot..

It allways amazes me when I see a grown man who has never fired a gun for fun.

course... I am amazed when I see a grown man who is a liberal.

nilsen... what do you mean?  largest caliber, most powerful energy wise, fastest, or most recoil?

in that order... Probly a 70 something caliber flintlock somebody had me try once...  then, a 458 win mag.  then a hot loaded 22-250 and then it would be a tie with the 458 and that stupid little j frame 340 pd for recoil.

I would shoot anything I had or anything anyone would let me shoot.

oh and furball.... It looks like a go to take my drivers test sometime real soon.
