Went plinking today....
« on: March 23, 2008, 10:44:51 PM »
.... a little bit of clays (informal competition), and plinking with .22s, afew handguns, and breaking water filled milk jugs.

I shot 5/5 on the clays, with no warm up...... 100 yard milk jugs were easy offhand, but at 200 I had problems hitting them, even looped up in a squat..... I have GOT to practice before June prarie doggin'...................

We took a "new" shooter with us, and he did well with his gun (a 9mm High Point), despite having no aquaintance with Col. Coopers "modern technique"...... He had no rifle or shotgun skills at all, but managed to break a clay and several milk jugs with my 12 guage before it was over.

Bottom line is I need some practice, and will be going jug busting again soon......

Oh, and I have 4 4x8 sheets of 3/4 plywood and boling pins, if anybody wants to get together for a pin shoot.

Would love to go bowling! I'll supply the land, you supply the pins. We could bring along a new shooter too.

Why are some of these topics that are so old still here? This topic is almost a year to the day. I was disappointed cause I wanted to shoot bowling pins.  ;D

So lets do that.  Jay's still got the pins, I imagine.
