Range report '' Some people are so generous''

[Mosinowner]

Wow Mosinowner, sounds like you need to leave your brother at home and go to the range on your own.

You should hear him when I miss I think it makes me a better shooter. I ripped up the center of the target today with the 30 cal

Every range I have ever been to, everyone is good about letting others shoot their rifles, pistols etc. Only once have I seen someone say that they couldn't and since it was a customized rifle that he said he paid around 6,000 for, I would have probably said the same too. In fact, looking forward to the meet and greet coming up soon again. I know more then a couple enjoyed firing my AK 47 and my SCAR.

I know! The guy saw me talking to my dad and talking about EOtechs and such he walks over with his Daniel Defense M4 and tells me to give it a try. He also almost forced his Horandy ammo on us.

My SCAR has an EO Tech, and everyone loves it. My AR has an Aimpoint, and most everyone likes the EO more. Nothing scientific, just what I have seen up here at the ranges. Well, if you were shooting his rifle, some people are particular about what ammo goes through their firearms. Personally, i figure most are built to shoot any of the ammo, they all just work better with certain brands on holding groups.

No as he was walking out he gave us 120 rounds of horandy match grade rounds

Dang, I could have used those rounds, haha. Well, nice guy. I do enjoy the ranges around here. I know as I have left, I have left behind targets if I have a couple left, like less then 3. Just figure others can use them. In case they forget them, like I usually do

Iron sights are just fine! You have young eyes. Leave the scopes for the old timers like me...

I like speed.

 

[cobber]

What distance are you shooting at?

High power rapid fire is not that slow. (Seems plenty fast to me when I'm firing.)

I'm shooting at 0-200 yards. And is 5.56 high powered?

Yes it is. But if you want you can shoot something bigger. I'm thinking of taking my WWI Lee-Enfield to a match.

Around here the high power matches are in the 300 yd. range. I'm not sure what the practical limit for the 5.56 is.

500 meters I think.

 

[repeter1977]

for the 5.56 depends on who you ask. Military says against personal, its 550 meters and 800 meters for area targets. Some people say they lose too much power after 300 meters. Course, there are some that can use the 5.56 at longer ranges, if they are really good.
