NWI INGO MEET & SHOOT - SAT, 16 OCT 2010

[melensdad]

I had a lot of fun today as well.



Next time I'll bust out the 45-70.

OHHHH that could be fun

In fact I'd love to compare that to my 458 Socom. The ballistics of the 458 Socom are claimed to match the 45-70 loads (I don't believe the Socom lives up to the 45-70) but it would be fun to compare the recoil of the two rounds side by side.

 

[gunbunnies]

Looks like we need to find a buffalo farm with a 1000 yard range and then maybe a pig farm to do the real tests of the 45-70 versus a 458 socom... betting the 458 socom is going to go through more ammo faster... Andy219 sorry to hear about your illness... but Melensdad's right... heck with my arthritis it took an extra 20 minutes to get ready and lots of advil on the way back home.... Hope you can get your illment under control though... could be alittle hard to take our crowd while being in pain.. See you there in November...

That was a group from my church. If you had started blasting away with your AK we would have joined you. I had my AK, 3 AR's, 2 M&P 9mm, 3 1911's ( 1 in 9mm) and a 10-22. I do gun instruction for our church members and this day was the last one of the year. ( Was on military duty and deployed all summer ) Looks like you all had fun as we did. The kids had a blast shooting the 22's and some were shooting my M&P's also. One decided to shoot my AK and the AR's. Fun was had by all

 

[Phil502]

I wish I could have made it but had other plans. Hopefully next time.

Jediagh, I notice my Tech sites rear site is pretty far to the left too, I am not
sure why that is but one of the instructors at the last Appleseed said it's not unusual.

Ohh so ow we know who to blame and who NOT to invite next time.
I also saw that you guys had set up some custom wooden targets about 10' from the benches with paper plates. Did the RO see that and just not say anything? I do like that idea for the handguns. What was it? Just a simple wooden stake with a 2x4 going horizontal and then ya nailed/stapled from paper plates on it?

If that is the case I think I can make 2 more next month and set them up so our handgunners can shot there instead of moving the line forward.

I wish I could have made it but had other plans. Hopefully next time.

Hum... so then it's the way the Tech Sights are made perhaps?
Well I think I'm still going to take the front sight off the 1st 10/22 and realign it. It might not do anything physically but perhaps now it's a perception issue on my make that the 1st 10/22 just shoots down a bit. ggrrrr

BTW get your AARs in cause on MON night the tread will be closed.

 

[Clif45]

At least he shows up for the events and doesn't blame WORK

Not cool...

 

[melensdad]

Not cool...

It would be an inside joke. You are free to take it as you wish, but Greg and I are friends, he knows there was no harm/no foul.

Did the RO see that and just not say anything? I do like that idea for the handguns.

I was curious about the same thing. If its cool with the RO then it would certainly be an easy way to allow different stations to shoot different distances. Shooting handgun from 50 yards was fun, but from the standpoint of effective training, pretty silly.

 

[Clif45]

Are all of you running the 100 or 200 techsights? I bought the 200 and the different aperture inserts and mine is centered and shoots fine. I wish I could have came out and sighted it in outside to 25 yards, but shooting at blythes has me close enough

 

[Clif45]

I know... Work was my reason also...

I will not be missing appleseed next weekend because of painting though. I almost missed the last shoot because of painting, and I did miss this shoot. Not going to happen.

 

[Bill B]

Myself and Mrs. Bill B. had a good time. It had been entirely too long since I had been able to shoot.
I got to shoot my first commie rifle, an SKS that belongs to 'steel. and I don't think it had that much recoil, but then again I learned to shoot on a Johnson.
Shooting Jedi's Mossberg was interesting, the recoil with the stock was definitely reduced, but to me the comb needed more of drop to be able to use the sights.
I would have loved to tried out the Saiga, but I understand an aftermarket part turned it into a sigle shot, aftermarket parts.
Next time I'll have to bring the muzzleloader.
Thanks to Melensdad for cooking, he made the cheap ALDI burgers taste pretty good.
I know some of you were interested in reading the depositions, etc. from my recent tribulations, but shooting takes precedence. Maybe I'll bring the stuff to a meet and eat, or find the time to scan it all and put up a web site.
Hope to see you all next month; as long as it isn't during deer hunting

I got the 100 techsights on both of the 10/22s. I know that bubba's 2 10/22s also have the 100s on them. Why YOU have to be different than the rest of us I have no clue.

 

[Cigar Bob]

Sorry I missed all the fun. I called the Old Guy and he said he was having a blast. No pun intended. Had to work the attend a wedding in the Ft. Wayne area. Wish I had been there. Next time I will be. But looking forward to the next cigar event

Nobody else had it so I figured I would try it. It was an extra ten bucks. The aperture system that I go with it was nice though. But that was another ten bucks too.

Plus I try to disassociate myself from all you of crazy gun people anyway...

He saw it and said there was no problem. Just was a few 1x4 with cross bars.

Just like I give him all SORTS of grief about being 'retired' yet still working every weekday. I have said it before and I will continue to say it. Family comes first no matter what. I had dreams of doing all sorts of things with my life, but that changed when my son was born. It was no longer about what I wanted, but rather what was best for the family. I never wanted to end up working out at the same steel mill that my father worked at and retired from, but the benefits and pay was such that it was easier to support a family.

[Phil502]

100 tech sites here. I am using my other one with the scope next weekend though.

[jedi]

Let me guess another NWI INGO member that had to work & could not make it.

 

[gunbunnies]

Sorry Chef, the mods told me too not be showing you guys any of the pics I take... well as long as they had any mention of my website on them.... and they all have that along with my copyright etc... off subject but it works with the pic request LOL...

Ghost, family makes you do all sorts of crazy things... it's all good and very natural... Hope to see you at one of the upcoming events though...

Yeah I wanna see Ghost @ the next event cause we now have a huge pile of old, moldy, slimy hotdogs, hamburgers, and brauts that he needs to eat. Clif we also started a pile for you as well.
