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! This post has been edited by mirocu: Apr 8 2018, 11:16 AM

Or you can do what most hunters do and spray a decoy or a nearby tree. Spraying yourself directly can get you injured. There was a story warning people a few years back not to spray themselves directly. Apparently some guy sprayed himself down with synthetic doe urine and was attacked and killed by a buck who was unhappy to find a human man where he'd expected a doe.
The part about bathing without any soap and not applying deodorant is good advice though and is very important in order to stay undetected.

Urk! What a visual that story created; and yeah = a buck may look sweet and gentle; but they can be relentless in attacking once they start (like the Unicorn in Oblivion). l This post has been edited by mALX: Nov 23 2015, 09:19 AM

We´re off tomorrow to look at the .22 automatic and possibly another gun. Might as well get two while I´m there Should the licenses get through, which I have no reason to believe they wouldn´t, I will also stock up on ammo and accessories I´ve been missing for far too long. Not going to shorten the pump action shotgun, though. I´ve thought a bit more about it and decided against it. Really, the barrel isn´t any longer than on my other shotgun, it´s the exact same length. It´s just that the whole gun is longer. This post has been edited by mirocu: Nov 23 2015, 10:07 AM

QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 5 2015, 10:45 AM) It´s also kinda fun how the snow muffles the shots. Really neat I´d post a picture of the target I´m getting but for some reason it´s not on the website anymore. Still listed as in stock though. Yes, I was surprised by that. I always thought sound would travel farther in snow, but I was wrong. It does muffle! Odd that they still list it, but took the photo down. Maybe you can Google it; type in the name and brand with the word "Images" and see if you can pull up something that way?
