I was once a fair shot...especially enjoyed shooting a Browning Hi-Power, 9mm, at 150 yards at the Tacoma Sportsman's Club range...hell, that was about 17 years ago...actually the last time I went shooting in public...fun day 2.

Nature is setting off the boom booms here, right now.

The M14 rifle....will blow the enemies head all over his ass. But is also...."obsolete."

The 1911A1 pistol....

A cap and ball .44cal 1860 Army....will still do the deed.

A $10,000 "assault rifle," looks cool.....but the majority of hillbillys/survivalists/wanna be soldiers out there.....at 100+ yds.....prob cannot hit a man sized target. Many consider 100 yds....to be a REALLY long rifle shot.

The tool someone uses doesn't matter so much, as the man using it.

Some wanna be tactical clown who's never done anything past 30 yard mag dumps, doesn't worry me.

The man who's run the same bolt gun since Eisenhower was in office, I wouldn't want to be what he aims at.

Exactly!

On February 15, 2005, the FBI got my M-14 back, the same one I took apart and brought home...but they gave back the two M-1A that I bought for two of my sons...and the Leatherwood ART scope...which the agent handling the return commented that it was the only thing I had that he coveted...an old friend that came home...and one of the first of that series produced...somehow the green fiberglass case got lost...double dang!

This is a picture of the actual raid!

Congratulations again on your presidential pardon that allows a felon to be in possession of a firearm.

What's that old saying? Beware the man with just one gun, for he likely knows how to use it.

If you could put 6 shots in a paper plate at 200, you were allowed to pull up a chair and have a drink. At 14 yrs old, I wasn't allowed but a sip if the women folk weren't watching.

But you've been in the West. You know we have longer ranges to shoot at than folks in the East, where 200 yards is a long range. I read these hunting stories about guys taking deer at 30 yards. Man, I could only dream of a shot at 30 yards. I'd never take my rifle hunting at that range.

No bullchit story: At my sister's house, my brother-in-law and I were out at the pasture fence with our rifles, picking targets for each other to shoot - "Betcha can't hit xxxx out yonder" type stuff. Nephew was only about 12 or so, was with us. "Bet you can't hit that white rock!" and pointed it out. It became our shooting rock. We didn't know how far it was. We just Kentucky windaged into it. The rock was about the size of a grapefruit. I was shooting my M14, stock as it came from the gun store, and asked nephew if he wanted to try it. The boy was big for his age and was able to shoot that rifle offhand and hit the rock. No longer a boy, he is 6'8". He'll inherit that rifle when I'm no longer around. That rock? When laser range finders first came out, brother-in-law got a Bushnell and one of the first things he did was laser that rock. It was right around 650 yards.

You guys could see a grapefruit-sized white rock at 650 Yards ?

DAYUM ! that's some good eyesight.

What? U can't? I'm 81 and don't wear glasses...drive, and can nail your ass with open sights as some here once attested...with the old Leatherwood ART and the M-14 it went on u'd be meat at much greater distance...but I'm not a sniper, that takes real skill!

I took a piss off the porch last night. I arced the stream of hot piss out over my yard, across the street and out into a field onto an empty beercan.

I used a rangfinding Lazer this morning that indicated my hot stream of piss had been accurate out to four hundred and seven feet.

My urine range has dropped in the last ten years.....I used to be able to piss on satellites in low earth orbit.

Just don't piss on the hot where...usually the middle one; tried that once...quiet the 'moment' but that was before I knew better!
