I think I've taken more newbies to the range this year than I ever thought I would. I've shot up all My reloads teaching My family, foreigners and friends to shoot. Do they give merit badges out for this stuff?
About competitions now.....
Anyone have any suggestions? (other than disqualifying K80Geoff from all of them)
I just finished reading the latest issue of S.W.A.T magazine. There is a suggestion in there about taking 5 friends to a range and 50% of them will fail to hit a pie plate at 100yds no matter how good of a bench shooter they are.
We could do some off hand rifle shooting competitions? Bring the Semi auto or bolt action of your choice and give it a try. I'll have to get special permission to do it but I'm pretty sure I can get an OK.
How about an AK vs. AR vs. FAL competition. Everyone can try to shoot each one off hand and see what the Majority think about balance weight and accuracy. I really wonder if people that shoot 7.62x39 guns really have a problem with a 308 FAL. I really don't think recoil is that much of an issue.
I'd like to save all the Pistol stuff for the NJ shoots. Thats the Ray Woodrow specialty
