Got finished with my chores early today (56K Death Blow)
Finished mowing the yard and everything else I had to do by 2pm. It was such a beautiful day. No humidity, cloudless, and temp just right. I couldn't waste the rest of the afternoon, so I called my gang together....
Here they are, waiting for a ride......  All packed in and ready to go.......  Shot of the drive-through target mound......  Clay pigeons make wonderful .22 rifle targets.....  Hopefully, these won't be so defined when i'm done.....  Halt! Who goes there.....  A view to a kill.....  The accomplaces.... G1 FAL, something resembling a Ruger MKII, Russian M-44, and a Mac10/9mm.....   M44 Load. Primed Albanian case with 9.0gr Hodgdon Clays, M1 carbine bullet.....  Flood tubes 1 through 4.....  Time for the FAL.....  Burpgun's turn.....  Last, but not least, the sweet little Ruger.....  100yds.......Old lot of Wolf Match Extra. Lot I bought this year was not near as good.  There you have it. Hope you liked the show.

Nice photos of a nice day's 'labors'...
Unfortunately, I was stuck at work all day. But I might be able to sneak away for a quick trip to the range tomorrow... Thanks for sharing your day with us. Forrest |

The states have the authority to vary their laws on this, and some states are pretty strict on it, while some are pretty easy going. Out west, in say, Utah or Wyoming, I'm sure if you are far enough away from "town", you could blast all day. So, did that totally confuse you??

Somewhat...although I already gathered from my many visits to your wonderful country
 that each state makes it's own rules....like lots of seperate countries all jumbled together. The folks in AZ get to do, shoot, carry pretty much anything they want and the poor sods in California get to continually jump through hoops dreamed up by someone totally detached from that which we sane people call reality. Anyway, a spread like instr8's would suit me just fine thank you! SIG552 |

SIG552,
You are correct about the states pretty much. Some are harder on guns than others. I'm in North Carolina, It's pretty much a given that everyone around here has a gun. There are guys that live down in the valley (i'm on top of a small mountain) that shoot sometimes. People around here are pretty much used to my Machinegun fire and nobody has ever said anything. Not that they could do anything about it anyway. But I'm reasonable and don't do anything to my neighbors that I think they wouldn't like. Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you like it. I noticed the mention of China in your title line. Are you Chinese? If so, you, or your children will probably own it eventually.

instr8,
No, I am not Chinese! I am from South Africa and "china" is a word we use to refer to a friend. It comes from the old language they used to speak in London. The people of London developed a language only they could understand. It was called Cocknet Rhyming Slang. A few examples: China plate=mate (how's it my china?) Butchers Hook=look (lets go and have a butchers at that nude girl) gun and trigger=figure (that girl must work out 'cos she's got a nice gun) Macaroni cheese=keys (have you seen my macaronis?) Scapa Flow=Go (The cops are coming, we'd better scapa) SIG552 |

Looks like a beautiful day for a shoot. One basic ? How do you guys get more than one jpeg on one post? Has plagued me for years.

Nice pictures.
With no backstop behind those targets I sure hope there are no houses nearby. Around here people get dragged into court for stuff like that. Be careful!!!!! |

I, too live on a small mountaintop in WNC. I've made a small range (50 yd.) mostly to testfire. I can be out shootin' and soon you'll hear someone down in the valley start up and then another from on up the road, etc. A very secure feeling. A very secure feeling indeed. It keeps the skels on their toes because they don't know which houses in this area have the armed citizens... I don't dial 911, Dr. X

It's nothing to hear gunfire open up in rural areas. I've got a friend who's built a nice range on his farm, and we find it ever so amusing when we hold MG shoots to hear his neighbors blast of a couple "rapid fire" bursts with their semi's in between the breaks of MG fire, as if they're trying to compete.
