10-Ring

OS is right, AGAIN!  My 86 year old grandmother, who lives alone, secluded, at the end of a road, had that old school thing stuck in her head that I've heard old folks say before, "you can't shoot them till they're inside so if you shoot them outside you need to drag them inside."  I told her "You are 80 something years old living alone out here, once they try to gain entry start shooting and don't stop until you are out of bullets.  If you kill them all there isn't a jury in the world that is going to make you do time over it."  The wording of the law really does leave this one up to be decided on a case by case basis.  Although I think that grandma would be fine to go ahead and shoot in that scenario, someone like myself may not stand as good of a chance of getting away with it.

Just something to keep in mind when traveling west through the state.  Years ago I was driving to Oklahoma and knew I would be needing gas about Memphis.  I figured I would just stop in West Memphis, AK because it wouldn't be as busy and congested there.  I'd say West Memphis was scarier looking than Memphis.  Fill up BEFORE you get to Memphis if you are going that way.

I got tired of pumping all of the time and would usually hold around 4 or 5 pumps.  Only time I would go to 10 was if I was shooting at a far away target or going hunting.  Of course this ability came with the firing of tens of thousands of BBs. 

  I remember as a kid having me Daisy Eagle which went about everywhere I went except for school.  I'd give anything to have the skill with my rifles today that I had with that gun shooting BBs.  I could pick a random target and figure distance, the number of pumps, and adjust holdover and hit my target the vast majority of the time. 

I can't really toot my own horn as I have a LOT of camera, but I've shot with a girl that has a cheapo DSL and an incredible eye.  She does some really amazing work, I'd say a good photograph is about 90% photographer and 10% equipment but when you start trying to shoot in low light or shoot moving objects those nice cameras start to pay for themselves.

I'd take her and her donuts to the range. RSOs love donuts!

S&W at one time released a JM edition 625, I have been fortunate enough to get to shoot one, shoot it a whole lot actually and it is by far my favorite revolver that I have ever shot. You just thick about where you want the bullet to go and its there!

Depending on how serious you are about your get home bag and your budget to add to it you may consider putting a pack raft in your vehicle. Could be a true life saver if it ever came down to having to use it. Or heck an intertube could be worth its weight in gold for that matter.

Mine went together last night.  Stayed up way past my bedtime putting it together.  The only thing worse than having to wait on shipping and what not is having it put together and having to wait to get to shoot it.  Hopefully I will get rained out at work today and can go shoot.

Dad got to the range with his PSA 9mm this weekend.  As much as he's talking about how much he likes his I might have to build me one now. 

This! It's even easier to obtain than a driver's license in this state.

I could care less if blowing huge clouds of smoke is what makes a person happy but it crosses a line when they do it to innocent pedestrians because they think it's funny. That deserves a butt kicking IMO. Diesel trucks do nothing for me but I've spent way more time than I ever wanted to in a Cat 775.

I'm really enjoying your work both in your pistols and the write ups. Thanks for taking the time to share!

I have no issue with it. No where in the Constitution does our specify that our rights only apply to certain sects.

I got rolled on a couple of years ago, it was intentional and I was very tempted to add some decorative bullet holes to that a holes tailgate.

The USS Midway was the highlight of my trip.

Sounds like Cookeville has really gone to crap since I left in '08. It was just an oasis in an area surrounded by rampant meth and pull abuse then. You went home safe and didn't shoot anyone, sounds like you handled it well.

It's here and it's beautiful!  Can't wait to get it put together!  I picked up a cheapo UTG red/green dot site that came today as well and it seems like a pretty decent piece, does anyone have experience with one of these?

I don't know if I've ever been great at anything but I'm pretty sure that I will excel at retirement.  I'm very determined to do well at it and I'm working as hard as I can now so that I can start kicking butt at being retired as soon as I can.

I hate to keep resurrecting this thread but a trusted acquaintance spotted a dead armadillo today on Benders Ferry road in Mt. Juliet.

My dad just built one with the mag block but he hasn't gotten to shoot it yet.  If no one else pipes in I'll report back when I have something useful.  He usually goes to the range on Fridays so I should have something for you by the end of the week, that is unless it's too hot, too cold, too windy, too cloudy or too sunny, these retired folks can get finicky. 

It's moving!  It has left Knoxville and is supposed to be here tomorrow!

The fact that an employee of the sheriff's department had that kind of extra cash laying around is enough to raise an eyebrow at.  Maybe he just has really good money management skills. 

Mine has already add shipped! That's not like PSA at all, I can't wait!

Kinda sounds like Georgie boy didn't do anything wrong this time, but I still have a feeling that it's his fault anyway.
