Default This is My Gun, This is My Fun

Yuppers, a like minded thread for those that choose to share in some good times in the firearms world.

Family, Friends, and Individuals welcome as we strive to derail this thread before it gets off the ground. Ha

From game harvests around the world to froze stiff on top of a mountain with a gun that's jammed up.

I'll chime in later today as I head to the range, I just hope I remembered to bring my rifle this time. Ha

Go ahead and fire it up gang.
Nothing like get this thread cross threaded and side-ways from the get go.

Good times, funny stories, those that aren't, tears are welcome too.

I heard rumours that us AO folks have alot in common when it comes to the Out-Door stuff, what better way to find out.

Here goes nothing on this Seinfeld Thread of Something about Nothing.

Did I mention that it was about good times gone wrong. Ha

Beginning to remind me of Jelvis from the BC Hunting forum.

I continued to have fun with my new varmint rifle at the range. Here's a group from yesterday's session...



Not bad for a factory rifle!

Nice SC, got to love the smell on new iron. Ha.

I'm pretty sure you'll getter dialed in, that is part of the fun fore sure. Those CZ's shoot nice out of the box from what I've heard, and what I see. Thanks for posting this.

My new Remington SPS factory is rocking pretty good with the pressure point barrel, but I must of got a Monday or Friday trigger since its the worst I've ever used. Ha
It will get sorted soon.

So I built 5 frugal shooting sticks out of thick Survey Lath,,, 2 legged.
I drilled 6 adjustment holes so a shooters can use them in the kneeling, or sitting position, I'll make a few stand up units to.
The range has a cement slab floor, so I drilled holes at the bottom so a person can use the lower string to tie off the spread for the closet target,,, then take up the slack to reach the other 5 out to the 600 mark.

Drop the slack and your back to 100 meters, quick and fast.

I'm drafting up 2 simple back boards to lean against for improved shot placement,,, foam padding.
Might as well be comfortable if a person isn't on their feet.
The large gong down range is 21"T x 27"W,,, the others on the left are 16",,,, I hope they put the 7" back up,,, the shooting sticks with back board will better the odds of playing tag.

My friend took a nice Buck last year off his sticks, he didn't have much time to set-up,,, but it was enough to get the cross hairs on target.

These shooting sticks are donated to RMH Range from the Outdoorsmen folks.

$1 each,,, Ha,,, looks like I'm building up some points for the 2018 year,,, the kids and grown ups will definitely put them to good use.

I might as well make some triple lined sand bags, I seen lots of younger kids shooting last year that could of used them. Full time job at helping out where I can.

Well that was a repost of 6mt Cz 223 pic, my Grendel shoots pretty good so far. Have you tried predator calling Don? You live off shooting sticks, tried a few and built a few. Think I use a Stoney point now, has stood the test of time. Get calling coyotes, they'll test your skills.😉
