First to admit I know absolutely nothing about opening and setting up a range. But that design, with pistol ranges pointing inward to other ranges gave me a bit of a shiver. Just my first thought. Good luck in getting started.

Actually that was some fine MOI (methods of instruction) being displayed by the instructor.   He Asked the PV1 what the problem was. He Explained to the PV1 what the problem was. He Showed the PV1 what the problem was.   Then he safety got the PV1 off the range for I expect to be some additional training.    Well Done!

From what I have seen lately I don't think many drivers are worth a crap. Most of them are fooling around with their Iphone or their droid or whatever device of the day is. Put the *&^% thing down and pay attention. Use the left lane for passing then get your butt over, use your turn signals for the way you have decided to go. Know the difference in yield and merge. I think most drivers got their license at wally world on sale!!! I'm thru for now.

  We unwashed slobs are so fortunate to have you in this state to teach us how to drive.  :bored:

I hope they get where they want to go. Anyone that stupid deserves a safe trip to meet their maker.

Suppressed fire only for the first year.

With all the positive reviews, not sure you can go wrong at $373, if you really don't like it, you could double your money on Facebook.

I like how the Instructor mostly contained his laughter......

You could cuddle up to her, but it will take a we bit more then 200rds to get warm :dirty:

Count me in, as of now. Hey, can you guarantee 67 degrees like they do on Wednesday nights?

As a last resort, go to a bar and call the man shooting pool a sissy.

Since multiple folks have mentioned the number of casualties in past attacks, let me just ask this: what is an acceptable number? You guys all good with the number that we've already lost? You good with 25 a year? 100 a year? 3500 in one year and then about 100 total in the 10 years after that? Why are we talking like any number is acceptable? We are talking about people's lives, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  I have talked to a lot of people that don't understand the concept of consent.  They seem to believe that once you have been detained, then LEOs can pretty do anything they want.  They think if you refuse a cop, then you automatically go to jail (or at the very least get a ticket).  I have tried to educate them about their rights, but the idea persists.

Due to the weather and being busy to survive, I meant to post this a couple of days ago. This is a very good deal on Used Police Trade ins, BTW I know nothing of the retailer, order at your own risk: http://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/152691 [URL=http://s963.photobucket.com/user/runco0318/media/Deal%20Sig%20P229_zpsykem8c7l.jpg.html][/URL]

  Then he should probably be in trouble for uploading a video of a trainee.  I wouldn't like to see myself or my son have the growing pains of basic training on the internet for all to see.

Yes the first AR I've owned. Been shooting uncle sam's version for 11 years though. It's mostly completed my gun collection. I no longer have any other guns I NEED for specific purposes.

I'm from NY, this place sucks. In 4 years I'll be down by you guys.

Geez, you guys are a bit harsh on the kid.  I guess nobody here had anything similar happen when they first picked up a gun.    It's called Basic Combat Training for a reason.  For all we know, this kid never touch a weapon in his life before the Army gave him one.  He's there to learn, and as DMark said, his Drill Sergeant is on top of it.  If he goes to a unit after Basic and AIT, and still has the same behavior, then there may well be a problem.  But until then, the Drill Sergeants have the lead in getting him up to speed.   Oh, and as far as all the "back in the day" syndrome goes of how much harder it was...yeah, it's fun to see how "soft" the Army has gotten, I suppose.  But the last 15 years have shown our troops are getting it done with the current training methods.

  I also think the "cool factor" comes in when you have optics involved.  Red dots aren't a new thing anymore, and if you don't have one, it can seem like you aren't cool enough shooting next to the guy with an EoTech, or an Aimpoint micro.   Optics also let people think they are good to go right away, instead of focusing on the fundamentals.  I remember when my unit got enough Aimpoint's for everybody to have one, zeroing and qualifying became a chore, because people figured it would be easier with the cool toys and forgot the same fundamentals apply.  I would recommend all shooters learn the basics on iron sights, and when they are consistently hitting what they aim at, then they can add in an optic and go from there.

When I was on the trail, I used to love the off the range additional instruction.

Our son, who is finally back from Africa from deployment, came up with his wife and our brand new granddaughter on Wednesday. They where not here for 4 hours and the baby spiked a fever of 103.Off to the ER. Got admitted to Childrens. And she is still there..They think its a stomach virus. She is so tiny yet and it breaks my heart seeing her with a big ole IV and stuff. Son and daughter-in-law of course are worried to death. She isn't eating right yet, so another night in the hospital.We worry and it just plain sucks...She is soo sweet and right before she started getting a fever ,Gordon was just having a blast with her Looks like Grandpa Gordy needs a shave..lol

Here are my last two builds. I favor the LMT or Rock River stand alone rear sights shown on these two rifles. They're the same good quality but the RRA unit is about 25% cheaper than the LMT. My AR's are set up for home defense and are zeroed at 25 yards with 55 grain Hornady TAP. I can still see well enough to score almost MOA groups at 100 yards from the bench with irons, so I don't see any reason to scope these guns just for 25 yard application. Suptayu, though. If you're using your AR for defensive purposes, heck with what anybody else thinks, go for what works best for you. This is a Palmetto State Armory build with added ALG ACT trigger and MagPul furniture. The rear sight is the LMT unit. This is a Spike's Tactical build of what I call my Short Rifle." I didn't want an ordinary carbine, so I merged a mid-length upper with the heavier government contour barrel and a standard A3 lower. MagPul furniture, RRA buttstock assembly and RRA rear sight, Geisselle SSA trigger. Testing the handling qualities of my "Short Rifle." It's a darn sweet handling rifle that I'm glad I built.

One more :

WOW that Colt is a gorgeous weapon :ugh:  :ugh: :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:  :ugh:                                    (slaps self and yells NO NO YOU HAVE ALREADY NARROWED YOUR .45 HUNT DOWN DON'T START AGAIN MORON)

  Yes...I think I spent about an hour last night watching these guys. Lots of fun.

but I never run out of ammo in call of duty. I must not have the right cheat codes.

No and they can't ether, but I can guarantee a good time.

All he needs is one of those rifles that Rambo carries, they never run out of ammunition ...

As I like to say "I'd rather ask forgiveness than permission". My wife likes to say she hates that saying....

I'm in Brentwood. I am in NYC until Sunday am. I can help you, but you'd have to get to the office. It may be easier to find someone local. Rick "Welcome to Tennessee...the patron State of shooting stuff"

did you pick up any brass?  monkeys...?

I'm like the rest of you , any more .45's with a public record or bank receipt and I'm a dead man.

"17deg function check?" ...    √

Babies aren't nearly as fragile as they appear. She'll be fine soon. Hopefully you guys won't catch it. It might really be rough on you.   I'm always amazed at how quickly a baby can go from well to very ill, and then how quickly they recover.   She's a doll! That's for sure. :up:

Zoning? In east TN? :rofl:

There is Stinsens in Jeff city they take walkins and just charge $60 to pull a nonwisdom tooth they use to be open on Saturday from 8am till noon but be there when they open or expect a LONG wait (not sure if the name spelled right)

Looks like tomorrow is gonna be fun. Snow, sleet, freezing rain, pestilence, and famine.

    I always thought of it as more of a non judgmental support group :D

I know what you mean. I ordered one last night. I have 14 1911 pistols and did not need this whatsoever but could not help myself. I am going to check into gun collectors rehab.

Looking good! Dave Nikoti Makwa

They're not burning it in protest. The dude towards the right with the Michael Jackson glove was playing the solo from Hot For Teacher and , well, this is what happened.

I got out and played quite a bit the last few days.

That's one of the most stupid things I've ever heard of in my life. NJ is full of crazy legislators. You couldn't pay me to live there.

My method, place an empty case in the shellholder, raise the ram all the way.  Screw the die in until it just touches the case.  Back out the seating adjuster, place a bullet in the case and adjust seating insert to your satisfaction.  Then screw the die in approximately 1/2 turn, more for a tighter crimp, not as much for less crimp.  I only take the flare out on 9mm ...

Some guy will really appreciate all their hard work. My forecast? Some man who was just like any other man, now finds himself with a deathly ill wife and two two starving children in a post apocalyptic hell on earth. He happens upon this group of wonderfully stocked and prepared dipsheets and armed with a simple little revolver and his his freshly seared conscience, he slaughters this entire family. Mops up the blood, drags their retarded carcasses off to the woods about a 1/4 mile down and moves his sick and starving family right on in. Now, that might be a bit of silly fiction BUT, these people are beyond deluded. They have obviously never considered a REAL man's resolve when his family is on the brink of death because a real man that loves his family will strike the match that sets his soul to burn in exchange for their well being. Never underestimate a man that loves his family. He might be the best friend you've ever had but he stab you in the throat while you sleep before his family starves and dies.

This is correct as far as I know. The S&W was a Registered Magnum.

A TGO session would be great. I will looking at any opportunity to get off my feet.
