I did, and took a friend from work so that he could sight in his 'huntin' rifle' Had a good time and I think I made another AR15 convert after he put a magazine or two downrange. He had his camera and took a picture of yours truly.
 Yeah!   |

Could be... beats me. Elbow down was taught to me in the Army, with no real explaination. |

Because I have a tendency to want to do that, bring my elbow up like that, it's rather comfortable to me with my AR. I have a winchester .22 lever action though, that I of course don't shoot like that. I think I do that with the AR because I keep the stock fully collapsed when I shoot, so that makes me want to bring my elbow up.
I was just curious though what the downside is to it. If any. |

I thought elbow up was taught to soldiers who used the '03 and the Garand to take the recoil more effeicently...

Elbow down so you don't get stuck in doorways.

I can’t speak for cnorton, of course, but obviously you wouldn’t want clear a corner with an appendage leading like that since it would telegraph your position.
Don’t see anything wrong with when just blasting per se, other than developing a very bad tactical habit. My understanding is that bone-on-bone would be something like the tip of your elbow on the bony part of your knee, where things would tend to wobble around a bit. |

A word of advice. If you like to shoot. NEVER become a gunsmith. All your time is spent working on other peoples toys and the only shooting you get to do is a function fire, Or and occational sight in.
SO NO I HAVENT GOT TO SHOOT. DAMNIT I NEED A FIX! IM JONEZIN HERE, GETTING THE SHAKES... AAAAKKKKK |

Our club had a Turkey Shoot today so went to support that. Aferwards got to break in my new CETME from Knob Creek, compared the shot groups to my AR-10, tried some 9mm sub-sonic out of the Hi Point Carbine (very quiet), and let the boys and girls blast away with the MAC10 both suppressed and unsuppressed. Went through a few hundred rounds today and it was good.

Yup, shot my Beretta 8000 for my class and during the break shot the boyfriend's SKS. Would have shot the Ar-15, but we ran out of time.
LOL...some chick decided to blame my boyfriend for pushing guns on his "little girlfriend"...like I didn't want to shoot or something. Oh yeah, and she said that guns and relationships don't mix. She obviously doesn't know a damn thing about me or my boyfriend. |

I did. Got my first ragged hole (8 rounds) with my 20" A2 with irons @ 50yds BR - I know, know, only 50yd, but my eyes suck at 100yds. Tried out some NATO 9mm for my CZ75B - FTE on my second round. I love that handgun, but it will not extract anything other than Fiocchi. Cleaning up my new Enfield #4mk1 for a range trip next week. |

I just got back from the range about an hour ago. It was raining, but not crowded and we had a blast!
My friend is the ultimate gun nut! He's the one who talked me into getting a Kimber 45. We shot 100 rounds then moved on to his arsenal. Glock 19 - 1st time I've shot one. Good action, didn't like the trigger feel Desert Eagle 50 - Oh my freaking god! It was a hoot. Now I know why he wears a padded glove when he fires that thing. My hand is still tingling.heavy. Cheers, Landog |

Ya, about an hour before dark I worked on a Norinco P.O.S. Uzi.
 It belongs to a friend who doesn't know much about guns. He bought it because he thought he got a good deal ($500) from a guy who was hurtin' for money. It won't feed properly. I fiddled with the mag & the mag catch and it appears I'm getting it closer to functioning better. It'll run about 5 rounds now before it jams. That's an improvement over jamming every round. I'll polish the feed ramp a bit & have a go at it tomorrow. If you have a choice between a Norinco & a root canal, go for the root canal! |

The kids and I shot about 150 rounds of 22 out of their Chipmunks, the Ruger Single Six, and the Ruger 22 auto. We got a new steel target with four targets and then a reset target to we don't have to walk down range. I love those kids. My eight year old runs her Chipmunk like a pro.

Found 2 rusty cans of green beans in the pantry so i took my 9 year old son out back to shoot them.
The first can took him 4 shots of .357 to hit one and 3 from my 1991a1 to hit the second. Learned something today too: green beans aren't as impressive as creamed corn when hit with a .357 or a .45 Gold Dot round.
