Trip To The Firing Range.
<div class="IPBDescription">1/10/05</div> We took:
SIG SAUER P229 .40
Tauros PT-92 9mm
Yugo K98 8mm Mauser
Cetme G3 .308
We also took our Mac-90 sporter, but the Mauser and pistols drew all of our attention <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The SIG is that one we are considering buying. We probably won't buy it, considering some guys let me on to some nice 400 dollar ones. But I can say, the feel of it was great. I also now change my mind about the .40 caliber round. I love it.
Here are the pictures.

Look closely at the first picture. Note the small patches of snow on the hill.

Now, look at the same patches. Wait, they aren't there! Why waste man hours clearing the hill of snow when 15-20 shots of 8mm can do the same...

I'll get pictures of my targets soon. I'm really proud of my pistol target, as my skills have improved so much. I didn't save the target, but the first shot with my Cetme hit right dead center of the target at 150 yards. Couldn't make a better shot.

Wait, we used my dad's brand new winchester spotting scope to avoid walking 100 yards everytime we wanted to check our targets <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I remember when I went to "The Range"(thats the name. Its a pistol club). I got to use a Glock 19(no idea of other specs). Barely at 20 feet, I could get it on target, but not close to the center(unless, honestly, I was aiming for the head- I guess it was a easier target for my mind?). You getting that at 150 yards is simply amazing- makes me want to go back.
btw: That was my first time firing a gun in my life. First one scared the crap out of me- next time I go, I'm gonna try and get a NS-pistol style shots of- boboboboboboboboboboboobbobobobobooooooom.
Heheh.
Can't wait to take my AK-47 to the firing range.
I haven't been shooting in awhile...
