Absolutley. Red is the 3rd forum member I have met. I extend the welcome to any of you that are passing thru!

Double D · 12-17-2009, 06:22 PM

Red, glad you got home alright. You shot just fine, just further than your used to.

Thanks DD. If I'd been in a gun fight and the other guy was unarmed, I'd have won. Course I might have had to reload 2-3 times first.

BETH · 12-17-2009, 07:12 PM

To be honest, I never thought about it. Embarrassing isn't it?

Maximilian II · 12-18-2009, 05:31 AM

This makes me look forward to the cuthbert gathering even more. Pictures should definitely be taken!
Except when I'm shooting.

Double D · 12-18-2009, 07:09 AM

Yea, we forgot to do pics. Maybe next time. I didnt give it ant thought. Red, you would do fine in a gunfight. Most of them happen within 20 ft. We were shooting at 45-50 ft. I know I wont ever depend on independance ammunition. I was shooting that stuff at first and could hardly hit the target. Changed to blazer and got right back on track. I have seen variance in ammo but that was rediculous. Seriously folks, this ammo would hit 4-5 inches high. I know most of you will say no way, because I said the same thing. I am a pretty good shot and have been shooting since a teen. I have never seen ammo that bad. I was shooting with my new springfield emp, which I had already put 100 rounds thru. Dont buy any of that ammo!

terryu1 · 12-18-2009, 09:13 AM

At that distance I do not even bother putting up a target LOL. I will be making a trek south in early March. Daughter plays softball for local University and they play first 10 games in Kissimmee at three complexes. Going to drive down this year for a change. Air has gotten so expensive and I have a big Nissan Titan that I just love driving.

DD is not too far off I-75. Certainly worth a small side trip. He has a small but very nice range, right there on his property. He has really good prices on guns. Order one and he will have it.

I will go back again. If I ever order a gun, I will get one there. It was a great little trip from my house. Only thing is, beware the devildog (Miniature Dachshound), Reese's Pieces. He will shred you to pieces.

Yea red, I am even scared of reese (shaking) but I am glad you say you will be back. I hope I got that arm sewn back on right. You can still move your fingers right? And Terry, I am 4 miles from an I-75 exit so make it a point to stop.

The arm is on, but it's backwards. But, it's all good. I can now scratch my back, in places I could never reach before..

That was by design red. I really do know what I am doing.

Guess most of florida would be a small side trip coming from PA LOL. I should think about it. Just renewed my concealed carry permit but I wonder how that would work out driving back with new handgun LOL.

The only problem is, I think I am going to pick my nose and my hand goes to another 'place of interest'.

But, it's all good. Hey, now when I try clapping my hands, I can spin.

Well terry, I couldnt let you drive away with a new gun but I could ship it to your nearby dealer. Even with a concealed permit you are not a resident of the state.
