Trigger Happy: Family fun at the machine-gun range.

Have any of you ever been to or taken part in one of these machine gun shoots?

The opportunity to shoot a wide range of machine and sub machine guns sounds like a blast, but it looks like it good drain your wallet rapidly.

Trigger Happy: Family fun at the machine-gun range.

I have shot an M16 Full Auto kuz my uncle has one and a AK 47 Full Auto. I have been shooting full auto guns since I was like 8.

If you ever have the chance to shoot one id say do it kuz its a blast. The First rounds make the barrle lift but then u can bring it back down and keep it in place.

The closest that I have come to being at one of those matches was when one of my best friends went to one and told me about it. It wasn't much fun in Nam and I've always wanted to do it just for the fun of it. We did have a run at some floating oil barrels shooting them with a fifty cal. off the port side of a destroyer and that was fun and it only cost me 4 years of my life. whatever you do were ear protection.

Yeah it does sound like a blast Zippy. :smile:

I understand what your saying though Big Bore, giving or taking fire from any of these guns would quickly put a damper on anybodies spirits.

Hunting Tip: Go Far But Not "Horse Far"

Out here in Colorado, and in the units that I haunt, it is a tricky game to figure out how far to pack in on a rifle hunt. You want to get away from the masses that have moved game away from the roads but might want to stay close enough that you are taking advantage of the animals forced movements. There is no universal distance but I like the 1.5 to 4 mile range for day hunts where I am not planning on bivying out. This keeps you in that productive buffer zone where the animals are really...
