[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What do you do when you can't go to the range?

Posted: 4/14/2001 11:42:32 PM EDT

It was raining to day, so I couldn't go to the range. Instead, I read the personal ads and made overtly sarcastic replys via the voicemail system to the unwitting victims leaving the name and number of someone who has pissed me off lately. SICK-yes. TWISTED-yes. PROBABLY GOING TO GO TO HELL FOR IT-maybe, but then I will have something to laugh about when my a** is in a lake of fire and brimstone! If the personals just lack the qualifying victims necessary to make it worthwhile, then it is time to conduct operation FELINE JIHAD. You ask, what in the hell is that. FELINE JIHAD is me, my favorite red rider bb gun out of the safe versus all the cats in the neighborhood dumb enough to cross my line of fire. Animal cruelty-give me a break, they have nine damn lives, they can give one up for a higher cause! And to think I am a member of the PTA. You never really know anybody now do you?

I wish I had a range to go to. Closest range is in another state. I gotta get out of this place.

I really do not need to think much about it. Here in the house, I find a lot of stuff to do every time I could not go out and play.

I do not know why but time seems to always go very fast on me. Before I know it, it is already Monday.

Go to the indoor range. If the urge is that strong I can usually find a place to legally shoot.

If I can't go to the outdoor range with my rifles, will shoot pistol at the indoor range. Otherwise, clean, or reload. I find both excellent relaxation.

Well, do what i did. Buy an airsoft gun. Nothing beats going full auto in your basement...

Or get an airsoft gas blow back pistol if you are into pistol shooting. I couldnt take my real beretta to the range every day, so I bought an airsoft Beretta 92, and I fire that in the basement. Operation (slide, magazine) is identical to that of the real beretta, and its about 1/8 as expensive. Plus, you can ring out the rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger and not be asked to leave :-)

I now have an SV Infinity 5" and a Wilson Combat service grade on order. In GBB form. I think that...in real steel form, would cost me around 4000 bucks. And when I compared them (my friends) to the ones at the local gunstore...100% identical, right down to the markings on the slide and frame.

So thats what I do when I cant pop off some 223's or 9mm's

Reload or fire from the dining room window. When we have a tactical shoot we go rain or shine.[shotgun]

Fill up empty ammo cans with more reloaded ammo--if cans are full buy more cans and brass....Dick

Can shoot 24H day, 7 days a week at our own indoor range and the nearest outdoors range is just 12 km away. We are having our annual automatic weapons display and demo on the last weekend of May. Should be around 40 diffrent weapons there, mostly modern ones. Will post pics after it.

Go to indoor range, shoot in the yard, or think about it. The last one sucks though. [sniper]

Play violent video games [frag]
I've mostly been playing the "Day of Defeat" MOD for Half-Life. It's a WWII era game where the teams are the Allies vs. the Axis. God I love sniping dough-boys. [}:D]

IASDP that the closest that I ever get to go to the range is when I read Guns & Ammo on the can until my legs fall asleep.

When I can't fire the real thing, I usually allow myself the digital substitute.

My addiction is Counter-Strike, a Terrorist vs. Swat MOD for Half-Life. Great game, and oh by the way the best weapon is by far the sound-suppressed M4 Carbine...who knew [^]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned masturbation yet.

Delta Force Land Warrior is my current substitute, but I'm going to have to look for Counter-Strike, sounds fun.

....or chase the wife around the house [;)]

When I can't get to the range or I just get a new gun,I'll go down in the basement to shoot.I don't do this too often,but sometimes I just can't help myself.I had the day off work on Friday & stopped in at my local dealer.He had a Proffesional Ordnance Carbon-15 Type 21 rifle hanging on the wall.Every time I stop in,I see this gun,& finally on Friday I asked him to let me have a closer look.As soon as I had it in my hands I knew I would take it home.If you've never held one of these things you won't believe how lightweight they are...3.9 lbs.!! Well after coming home with it,I couldn't wait to shoot it.It was already too late to get to the range,so I waited 'till about 2am(when all my neighbors were asleep & wouldn't hear)to go down in the basement.I have a kick-boxing heavy bag set up endways in a corner.It's about 18" in dia. and is about 4 ft.long.(You can get them in a sporting goods store)So far I've put 110 rounds into it with no visible signs of trouble.I don't do this very often,usually only with a new "toy".Makes Wife a litte grumpy too.I went out to the range Sat afternoon & went through about 300 rounds.The gun shoots fantastic & is very quiet,Due to carbon fiber upper for bolt to slide in.It doesn't sound like clattering metal like the std.AR-15.Only problem was the added recoil from a light gun.It felt like being poked in the shoulder with a broomstick.Best gun I've gotten yet.

When I cant go to the range, I pull all my guns out and take them down and clean them. I also surf any gun related web sites I can find. If I really feel like I just have to shoot something, Ill play some Rainbow Six, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, or maybe a little Red Alert 2. That usually does the trick for me. Great stress relievers.
