Pistol addicts...

[FX1]

Well I am sure it isn't listed under goverment health warning but I am a pistol addict. Yes I have been know to hide ammo. If i see ammo laying around temptation kicks in and I will eat it all up in one binge range day.

I couldn't control myself and picked up my race gun from a friend that took it away from me for my own good. Its sitting in my range bag calling my name with 10 mags full to the brim.

Btw I highly recommend GPS range bags. One of the only companies building bags that are for shooters not a tactical elite, black bag. I have a hard time at public ranges looking at today's shooters that want to look like their some delta force team driving up in a Kia.

Heh.  Agreed.  And the camo pants, sunglasses and human silhouette targets...

Oy.

This bag fits four pistols with everything needed for a full day. Anyone want to buy a shopping bag full of pistol cases?

Some of my eye protection happens to be tinted, a very useful pair of pants are camp pattern and I shoot to practice for self-defense so shooting a target that resembles the threat isn't a bad idea. 

But I understand what you mean, the wannabes are a bit much sometimes.

The only time I shoot now is when I visit my daughter up in Long Lake NY. We go to the local outdoor range and always have the place to ourselves. No clowns to be seen for miles.

I have a full steel range and it's kinda hard to cut at 500 steel into human torso. A more usefully figure for me would be a pig or coyote popper.

Got borred last night and went down the street to a indoor range. My plan was to sit down and zero all my pistol and make sure my 300 wby was on for a upcoming audad hunt. I got two pistols zeroed. Then didn't try the 300 because 8 out of the 10 lanes guys were blasting ar 15 with target from 5 yards to 25 yards. Kinda hard to do precision shooting in those conditions.

The last time I went to a range it was an indoor range. There were only 2 of us in there with an empty lane between us. This guy probably had $5000 in guns sitting on the bench in front of him. I left when I noticed extra holes in my target.

YEP...some people. The range where I took my CCP class had "Cubicle" like partition walls between benches(most probably do,only been to this one). BUT...upon seeing all the bullet holes in the bench top,the side partitions, the ceiling(right above shooting bench) and just about every place else THAT WAS NOT a target area.....Yea, back yard is all I need

This place had shotgun wads stuck in the ceiling.

You WIN LOL    That is a new one, Sir!  I still have a hard time believing some folk have never even fired a gun! Just hard to wrap my head around that! Those folk are missing out on some GREAT TIMES!

I have the exact same bag. I can get 16 -1911 mags in the side, 4-Walther P38 mags, and 4-CZ75 mags plus 4 flat-box 100 rd ammo boxes in it and still carry two firearms protected on the inside (*plus one on my person)
The bag is A LOT bigger in person than this pic depicts.

I carry a backpack for the targets, ear protect, glasses, and tools too.

We cut upper human torso on our Laser. This sits in two Y stands that we cut for supporting the torso. Depending on what you are shooting at it, it may rock or be penetrated. Works great out in the pasture.

Most of mine are on home built stands. Easy to move and set up. I did make a Flipper which has a 4 inch square ar 500 on top 5 inch bottom then a 3 feet rod connecting both. The base as a rod that connects the feet and a bearing that attaches to the plate rod.

Its my favorite target and a bastard to make it flip. Each shot needs to be shot on the back swing and if you just shoot the bottom it will not flip. I can flip it with 6 shots with a 45.

One problem is that if you don't time it correctly there's a possibility of splash back. Eye protection is a must.

I like it so much that we made a small one for centerfire rifles. With a bolt gun you need to be quick....

Same idea but mine are larger and weight in at 150lbs.
