The gun thread Options

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!

Did some shooting yesterday! Khajiit and Mrs. Khajiit went out to an open part of the property with her dad. We shot an M1 Carbine, a 30-30 pistol that had a scope in it (that thing was insane, lol), a .308 bolt action, and of course Khajiit’s 9mm. That M1 carbine was neat, but it shoots strange ammo (.30 carbine or 7.62x33mm). We were shooting at a paper target that highlighted where different organs are, and Khajiit picked up the carbine and put two in the heart and one in the brain. Never shot it before. Very nice shooting gun.

I bet that was fun!
