Went target shooting yesterday

[Trinityagain]

I go every so often with my hubby. About the only thing I have a chance of hitting the target with is my .22 target pistol. Can not hit the broad side of a day glo orange elephant with anything else. Hubby's gun glub has a bunch of bowling pins that I shoot at sometimes. I love it! It is so much fun when you hit them right and they spin like the bad guy falling off the saloon roof in the cowboy movies....

And being a Civil War re-enactor I also know how to fire a cannon...talk about a RUSH!!!

The next time anyone goes target shooting think about what those SEALs had to work with before they saved the Captain of that freighter.

A place to shoot from that is moving

A moving target

Three shots that have to be hit.

Distance, wind, sun?

There is nothing more satisfying than making a long distance target.

Range shooting is fun, but rifle distance makes you feel like god.

Those suckkers are hard to hit!

Have you tried with the CANNON ??

Well, I was a tank crewman.... Tank Table 8 requires a 2500+ meter shot, a moving target while the tank is in motion. Granted, we have a laser range finder, fully stabilized guns and a 12 lb projectile going 1672 meters/second.

But, I want to know how you get the Day Glo Elephant tied to the 'hood' of an M-1, where you dress it and what does it REALLY taste like?

Never shot a elephant with it... LOL Had a camel or two in my sights before. Tempting, but no. They look cool in a thermal sight. The hump is much cooler than the rest of the body. But I reckon that makes sense.

But I HAVE driven through, yes THROUGH a cow before. It was at night and we were hugging a treeline, moving pretty fast, for a tank, like 25-30 mph. Anyway, the drivers night sight on a M1 is a "green screen" optical image night sight. So it was hard to see well as it was a overcast night. I saw it at the VERY last second.

WHAT....A....MESS. 71 ton armored vehicle meets 1.5-2 ton animal. Not pretty.

Private Beakes got a big arse chewing for that. Like it was MY fault the farmer did not close his gate. LOL

I can imagine the jokes after that!

Who ended up being the "scrape goat"?

I bet that was your last "drive thru burger"?

Its a family show... So use your imagination. LOL

The whole crew shared in that joy. 3 hours on the wash rack.

Last burger... But we had some venison and pulled pork from suicidal animals on the range. LOL Them hogs in southern Germany are BIG. LOL
