I have had guns for about fifteen years due to us having a plot of land on which to hunt for moose and deer. However I have always had a bigger interest in the shooting part than the hunting part, and since I came across hickok45 on youtube that interest has gotten new life.

I just love how he does it. Instead of only shooting moose paper targets like we do here, he shoots at flower pots, car doors, metal figures and 2 liter soda cans etc. I quickly realized that's what I want to do too though unfortunately I have limited abilities since our plot of land is shaped the way it is which is quite narrow with neighbours not too far away. But I did put up a few brick targets earlier this fall and had a go on them with my .30-06 semi-auto, and it really was such a fun way of shooting! Though needless to say, that round is pretty expensive and I may go look for a smaller caliber in the near future.

This is one instance where I kinda wish I was a Murican. Our views on guns here is they should only be used on paper targets or clay pigeons and for hunting and it should only be done to better ourselves. Just having fun like this or defend ourselves simply doesn't exist here which is a shame. But I'll do my part to change that...

So if kiln anyone would like to chime in on the subject of shooting for fun, please do!

In waiting for Reaper's new gun..


Took out my Browning yesterday and annoyed my neighbours. Fifteen rounds on paper; three rounds and then check results, rinse and repeat. Love autoloaders btw

Not too shabby, considering I use iron sights and tiny targets meant for air pistols. I don't shoot too far, the backyard doesn't allow for it. Maybe 50 meters. I compared the results I got with a full-size moose target and all rounds were placed within bullseye. In fact, the paper targets themselves all fit within that ring!

So I'm all set now. Apples are out and now we wait. Though if previous years are any indication; don't expect too much

The Browning is your bp gun?

Nein, the Browning is my .30-06 moose gun. I only have BP pistols so far.

Oh ok, didn’t realize you were talking about a rifle, though “auto-loader” should’ve been a clue to Khajiit you weren’t talking about a bp gun

So do you eat a moose if you kill one?

Excellent shooting!

Here's a sneak peek .

Certainly! But it's much more likely I'll get a buck. In fact, I saw two deer hopping about this morning but they were behind vegetation and didn't fancy coming into my line of sight. Go figure.


Thanks! I would have wanted tighter groups but I guess it's ok. Short barrel and autoloading does impact on that. But it was good enough a result for hunting so I guess I can't complain.

How's your Daniel working for you?


Ooh, that's a nifty little thing! I'd take a look at it myself if I could. Looks like it has the same loading gate as the Colt SAA

Most single action revolvers has that CSAA frame, I also learned that some or most of those types of revolvers you don't have to half prime the hammer to rotate the chamber, just open that side loading panel and the chamber rotates freely, no need to prime.

Is Reaper using foul language?


Kidding

According to the web page I did . I know you can't prime a revolver but there's no other word to use lol .

Nice but it's funner if you pull the trigger .

Hey, Reaps. How's the new gun purchase coming along?

Probably going to be getting it out in January or the end of December. I need to get my Jeep a tag or else I'm going to make some cop very happy. I'm going to make a payment on it the 1st as I have other purchases to make.

Had a pretty good morning at the range today. Three were kind of low, but the rest were all good.

Can't complain!

What range are you shooting from, btw?

Only 20 feet. My eyes are not as good as they used to be.

Well enough for home defense

Khajiit got some hollowpoints for his 9mm from his Da!
