Good to hear you had a good experiance shooting Beth!
Sounds to me, you dont pretty good...100yds and standing up aint always an easy
way to shoot and keep on target, for me anyways. Good shooting Beth and be sure
to post some pics!

Glad you had fun, that is the most important thing to me. I don't like the standing or prone either. Cant't hold it steady on standing and getting too old to be laying on the ground!!

Beth, Glad you had fun! Now you wont be afraid to shoot anything.

Bobski Is this the same model of BB gun you remember?

Beth, glad to hear you had a good time. As said already, shooting standing at 100 yards is a real challenge and it sounds like you did well. Watching for the pictures.

We have a competition coming up this weekend; I usually make everyone else look pretty good in these competitions.

[BETH]

[BETH]

[permafrost]

Dang, Beth!
I thought you were bigger than that. Your so tiny that M1 carbine looks like an M1 Garand!

[25yretcoastie]

So are you ready to get one of your own

[BETH]

thats not the carbine u turkey i don't know what it is but it was sure heavy

[permafrost]

Oops! My bad. Sorry
(It is an M1 Garand)

[BETH]

if that's the garand i don't and mean don't want to shoot that and i don't know how they carried that thing

[gdmoody]

That is the M1 Garand, you should try it at least once.

Great pictures in your album, that is a good looking range.

[bobski]

Bench it. Let the bags hold the weight, you just hang on for the ride. You'll love the 'ping'. And the weight absorbs alot of the recoil. The gas system absorbs alot more.
