QUOTE(Dark Reaper @ Jul 30 2018, 09:52 PM) I wouldn't mind finding this relic Webley Fosbury. Wow, that is old school. I would just assume that anyone with that pistol was a British officer! QUOTE(mirocu @ Jul 31 2018, 04:53 AM) I wouldn't mind switching to a .308 hunting rifle but the shop is two hours away and the license two months away so meh. How to adjust iron sightsWhen I got my .22 levergun I didn't need to adjust windage at all, it was spot on. And elevation can be changed on the fly due to the buckhorn design I just did it the old-fashioned way. I took a shot, saw where it hit, and moved the sight over, until I was hitting the center. I saw yesterday that there are these new-fangled laser pointers that are shaped as a cartridge. You load it in your gun the same as a regular round, and it shows you where it is going to hit. Then you just adjust your sight to match. Obviously you don't want to fire it. I saw a lot of people say you have to be really gentle with sliding the bolt home on it, because they are delicate. I think your mileage varies with the brands too. But it is a cool idea. You can sight in without firing a shot.

Actually the Webley-Fosbery was a British Officer's revolver, it was also in the movie Zardoz with Sean Connery.

I took my .556 Sig Sauer out today, and I think I had my best day ever. That is 40 rounds in that pic. I shot 80 total. My shoulder only has a slight orange spot, where 80 rounds of .308 gave me a big red spot. It felt a lot easier to shoot the lighter rounds too. I think going back to the 'normal' style of shooting with my left hand just in front of the action helped a lot. As opposed to the C-Clamp style I was trying before - with left arm fully extended and finger pointed at the target. My arm did not get nearly as tired the old way, and I think that is what gave me the better accuracy this time out. It was definitely a lot easier keeping it on the bullseye.

Seems like a really inefficient way to make one big hole. Khajiit only joking, nice shooting! This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Aug 10 2018, 07:20 PM

QUOTE(SubRosa @ Aug 16 2018, 11:04 PM) I meant this shooting stance, which I think is pretty standard. With my Sig, I don't really have many options, since the handguard only goes halfway up the barrel (like the one that guy has in that pic). Yeah, I see what you mean. The handguard on my gun goes further out, but that stance looks pretty good. Also, you appear a bit more masculine than I thought you'd be, Rosa...

I guess I shouldn't have taken those Low-T pills someone gave me at the party! I had a disappointing day at the range today. I took my .308 back, and tried it for the first time using the regular shooting stance I talked about previously you know, this one. Instead of the C-Clamp style I was using with it before. I was definitely more accurate, and my arms did not get nearly as tired. But I found I was hitting to the left, so I tried to tweak my Vortex optic over a bit to the right. My next shot was about a foot and a half left. So I tweaked it more to the right, and again, next shot was way left. Rinse and repeat two more times. Then the reticle just vanished. I thought the battery was dead until I looked through it from an extreme angle. There the reticle was, way up and to the right now. I tried turning it over left a little bit, and then it would be way up and left. Mind you I never changed the up or down position once. No matter what I did, it was always way up to the right or way up left. It just went crazy. Since it was useless, I just turned it off. Iron sights never lose their battery power, or just go wonky. So I spent my last 21 bullets shooting with iron. About half way through I realized I was pulling to the right. But I never did manage to correct that. I don't know what is wrong with the Vortex. This is only the third time I have ever used it. So it's hard to believe the battery is going already. I have had my Eotech for a year and half, and gone shooting with it well over a dozen times and never had any problems with it. I think I'll just rip the Vortex off and shoot iron sights with the .308 for the near future. Maybe I'll buy a new Eotech for it. Or one of those scopes that switch between a regular x4 or x6 to a red dot. I just don't trust the Vortex anymore. I did 80 rounds, so now I have a huge bruise across my shoulder from firing it. Damn that .308 kicks! The 5.56 is a lot more comfortable to shoot. My last time shooting it I also did 80 rounds, and it only gave me a little red spot on my shoulder, that was gone the next day.
