"I'm never any good at shooting targets, but I never miss when I'm shooting at game"!
This one seems popular with a few of the guys I know.

"I'm never any good at shooting targets, but I never miss when I'm shooting at game"!
If you don't compensate for it, Coriolis will affect your point of impact. All the good i-phone ballistic programs take the spin rate of the Earth into account.???When a man shows up at the range with his new tasco scope he bore sighted and completely missed a 6 x6 foot plywood board at 25 yards. True story, happened next to me last week.
At the range this morning a guy shows up, unboxes a twelve guage shotgun, clamps it into a Lead Sled, then goes down range and puts a tennis ball in the dirt at 100m.
He shoots a few rounds, declares 'that's good enough, I mean, shit, I hit the tennis ball', then boxes up the shotgun and leaves... No doubt ready for deer season.
Well, you know me: I couldn't resist going downrange to have a look at the tennis ball. Here it is, still in the dirt, unscathed:

Thought about telling them 1938 ammo has corrosive primers------nahhhhh.
That's a picture of me. You weren't supposed to be home this early.?When my wife post my picture on the refrigerator to remind her of what I look like...
I went to P2K today (100 yard indoor range in SoCal). A lot of guys were sighting in their hunting rifles. A couple guys hung this big pistol target up at 100 yards. I wish I could have taken pictures of it through my scope. I cannot believe how bad of a shot they were. I feel bad for any deer that they might shoot at. In lieu of an actual picture I tried to recreate what I saw. It was approx 24" across, and they were literally shooting like 10 MOA and talking up a storm about how they were gonna get a deer. Just hit the paper I guess and you are a good Shot.
On the plus side I met a wounded warrior shooting an .338 AI and his groups were TIGHT, OORAH. I am constantly amazed at how people deal with adversity, and every time I see something like that I re-resolve to never complain about anything, ever.
Please say that wasn't prone off a rest?

Back here it's so easy to lose perspective. Playing the victim, blaming others and complaining about small things have become national passtimes. Most people who don't travel on anything but organized tours are too fat, dumb and happy to know the difference.I am constantly amazed at how people deal with adversity, and every time I see something like that I re-resolve to never complain about anything, ever.
On an organized public range, I agree: No handling weapons while people are downrange.Now, for my thoughts on "cold range". If I see anyone handling weapons (even a scope turret) while I am down range they get a royal ass chewing. That is my one "pet peeve".

A friend of mine, who got out of Nigeria after Ken Saro Wiwa was hanged, dismisses minor issues like losing a job, getting a divorce and not being able to buy house yet, as simply 'First World problems'.
i love hearing this story in the camp after hearing multiple shots during the hunt
"i shot an armadillo" explanation
Sure...opening day of hunting season or prime time....
it's perfectly reasonable to waste a bullet and notify the deer in the woods that i'm there by shooting an armadillo
then..before the next hunt...the target is up and they are re-sighting their rifle in
...when you start finding ram rods half way to the 100yd berm.
So, I am at the range yesterday to do barrel break-in on a new 6 Creedmoor from Accurate Ordnance when this guy shows up. Line cold, so he takes his target board down range. I notice that he just propped it up on the ground and that no hit on the paper will strike the terminal berm but, instead, skip off the ground behind. He gets back and I simply tell him, nicely, that the SRO will be on him for a safety violation should he come by. Guy goes back down range, removes his target board, puts his gear back in the truck and leaves. He was 325 at least and all this was clearly a struggle for him (huffing and puffing all the way). Guess we won't be friends now......

If you think I am a range nazi then so be it. But one idiot can ruin it for everyone.
Just because you preface it by saying 'not to hijack...' doesn't mean that it's not a hijack.Not to hi-jack this thread but what process do you use to "do barrel break-in on a new 6 Creedmoor from Accurate Ordnance" what all is entailed for this break in? Looking at getting a CM and just curious about details
What was the secret to your survival??I almost died of laughter!
That's a North Dakota plate. We don't all do dumb shit like this in ND. It looks like it's around Valley City. Every state has morons that don't use their heads. With the influx of people in this state from other states, it could be a person from another state, but to be honest it's probably one of our red necks. Just have to laugh and shake your head.

I don't plan to read elsewhere: it's my Thread. You obviously didn't care to read it, or participate on it, just came along and hijacked it.If that bothers you read elsewhere, as I didn't ask you for anything

And doing that is indeed asking me for something. Saying that you are not doing it doesn't make it true. I was the one who asked you to go elsewhere. Now you want to start an unrelated argument with me, and you want to do it here.
You are being either ignorant, or rude, or both. Kindly either read and obey the rules of this Site or go Troll somewhere else.
I received a call for a subject shooting in some ones yard.
Apparently he drove into the yard got out of his truck and used their tree to sight his shotgun.
When confronted by the home owner he replied "there isnt anybody over there I looked" and then left. And the homeowner waited 15 minutes before calling local police who were tied up on a robbery and had to ask our agency for mutual aid.
So of course he was long gone.
