Some of the crew here would head up to the pit and waste large amounts of cheap ammo My old shooting buddy and long time friend death451 was always there And there was a new face to the Minnesota Crew from New York, he liked to waste cheap ammo too It was always interesting getting the reactive targets ready anyone remember this guy? Here is the newb from New York again and death451 again I don't remember this guys screenname, but he was wasting ammo that's for sure that guy from New York is Evil Ed triplets WTF does anyone remember this ginger? I know for a fact death451 is still kicking himself in the ass for selling this Colt LMG Upper then there was this moderator, he split Minnesota and went to North Dakota I'll post some more during the week, this folder has a little over 1500 pictures from the shoot on 22OCT2005 |

that backstop so close always wierded me out. after i asked bowman why he was wearing a flak jacket and he said it was for the bullet jackets that sometimes came back toward the line, i always stayed behind someone else....
When that Ma Deuce lit up it was loud as hell. |

So, you guys don't still waste large amounts of ammo? Do you have some you want to waste? Maybe some day but right now my focus is awaiting my suppressors and the upcoming deer season. |

I make that face when shooting to block the Wolf stink from going in my nose! lol
Smells like cat piss! |

Great pics!
My hair seemed more blonde back then and I was a bit skinnier, too. WTF was I doing crawling around on that junk pile setting tannerite with Devils_Advocate?? |

what did you used to say? Buy it cheap and stack it deep? I like the picture of safe with loaded ar mags to the hilt! The days of Sportsmans Guide and SA M193 in 2700 crates for a shade over 12cts a round! Or getting Win 3131A at Galyans for like $150 per K plus the governor's share or Win VP of 9mm for $10 or 45 ACP for $20 |

I should have been buying a case a month. |

I remember complaining about $46 South African battle packs... That $0.15/rd was EXPENSIVE!!!
I once mustered up the dough to buy one of the full 2000+ round cases and thought "this will last me forever!" I spanked through that in 3-4 range trips like an idiot!!! Wth was I thinking??? I should have bought dozens of cases of it! Hell, I should have took out a student loan to buy a bunch of it! That would have been one nice return on investment! |

"Hey, twonami, What's up with those bandages on your hand?"
"I shot myself with a 180 gr. Hydra-Shok". |

I'm still trying to figure out if I made it that day. I think I did but we had so many shoots up there that it's hard to say. I really miss that cheap ammo, and remember how expensive I thought it was. "This stuff is like $100/case. I better only shoot 1000 or so"

Heck I missed most of one MG shoot because someone put one thru their hand with a MAC or a Cobray or something. Everyone was packing up when I got there. Even missed the meatwagon.

I was there. Shot a 1000rnds of Wolf that day. You could buy 1000rnds for $105 at Sportsman Guide.

Always will amaze me how some people (who think they are good gun handlers) can eff up the parade.
Yes I know life happens! But buck fever and people who think to highly of themselves are problematic. Parents who let children do things that are beyond their skill set! As evidenced by MG shoot incidents in NV and MA that are high profile deaths that stung! Locally 1-Beerjager 2-Grown man ( experienced LEO) who incurred as self inflicted 12g slug reckless discharge dismounting a tree stand with a loaded firearm - slug travel from right lateral thigh to to exit right below the umbilicus. Lucky no major vessels or nerves were damaged. 3- Grown woman (experienced MN deer hunter) who incurred a self incurred self inflicted 12g slug reckless discharge dismounting a tree stand with a loaded firearm to have slug enter below right medial knee area travel along tibia to then shatter the right medial ankle bone (malleolus). One the best orthopods in MN could not put Ms Humpty Dumpty back together with out pronounced limp! This stuff happens all the time every fall! Stupid people! Four Rules of Gun Safety apply 24hrs a day - 7 days a week - 365days a year. The Four Rules All guns are always loaded. (Treat them so!) Never point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy. Keep your finger (preferred booger hooker) off the trigger until your sights are on target (and you have made the decision to shoot). Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. I love ass hats who seem to think that does not apply in gun store, gun shows, and shooting ranges! FREAKING DUMB I am guilty of a couple negligent discharges, lucky for me they happened on a shooting range while at a X-C match. More like premature shots... I went from standing to sitting for rapid fire string and knocked off the safety and let 2 rounds go prior to my target appearing! Now days the start in a seating position... Nonetheless... I had no target.... |

When/where did you shoot HP? ***Edit*** Also, how the heck could you even do what you describe above? You sat down with a loaded rifle for a sitting RF stage at an OTC match, so presumably you were slung up. This would seem to prevent you from hitting the safety with your left hand, as it would be on the rifle's fore end. The only real way to move the safety lever would be with your thumb, like it's designed for. So why was your finger on the trigger, and why were you pulling it before you even got into position? And how did you manage to ND not once, but twice in a row before stopping? Good thing you didn't accidentally load the 8-rounder in there, or you might have had 6 more ND's?!? So many firearm safety rules broken here. Kinda makes me glad you aren't shooting HP anymore, as this sounds like a situation that I wouldn't want to be too close to. |

Funny how much gear has changed in 10 years. I didn't know death451 before he became a multicam-whore so it's kinda weird seeing him in regular woodland.

Sigh....before my time, be another year before I'd end up working with Uncle Cooter.

Jakezor, that was you that took a bunch of video that day correct? I made a little music video out of it since I was messing around with video editing and stuff at that time. Now if I can only find it.
