Shooting How often does this happen ?

59 Upvotes

Shot a few slugs today and a wad ended up lodging itself into the target. I hadn’t seen anything like it before so I was thought it was pretty cool haha. I was wondering if it’s a common occurrence at shorter ranges ?

Did a little crown land excursion this past weekend.

Around 3.5 seconds from firing to hearing the impact, guess the range!

Definitely one of my favourite antiques to shoot! She’s not just a display piece but a reliable shooter. Definitely recommend for those seeking an antique revolver!

1950r Russian SKS

I almost bought one a few years ago for $600 but decided to wait. (In hindsight, this was a bad idea) So now I had to get one before they sell for over 1K.

Now we wait to see how long before it gets banned 🙃

This thing is a joy to shoot. Crazy accurate even after a half assed job of zeroing in the scope. Can't wait to shoot it again. Random hockey cards unrelated :)

Shooting Tactical Shotgun Dilema

7 Upvotes

Hi folks!

I'm trying to decide what shotgun would fit my needs. I'm out on a target shooting trip, and as part of the group fun I'm asleep in my camp and get woken up (during daylight of course) by a clay pigeon breaking into my tent or have a timed competition to see who can get rounds off quickest. I need to access from locked storage, load, and chamber shells ASAP. Which would you choose?

1) Mossberg 590RM

+ quick to load (mag stored loaded, rounds cycled out periodically to prevent deformation)

+ AR-type safety is quick (I'm a lefty)

+ more capacity (10 rather than the 20)

+ If I'm in an awkward position or not fully shouldered I won't "limp-wrist" vs a semi-auto

- Slower to get shells off

- potential short-stroke

- Potentially less reliable

2) Reliable Semi-auto like a Beretta 1301

+ quicker to get rounds off

+ don't have to think about/do anything to chamber next shell

- less capacity (5+1 of longest shell)

- potential "limp-wrist" stoppages

- reloading tube mag is much slower

- usually less recoil

I've ruled out the Turkish mag-fed pumps as I don't want to risk a malfunction, even though they do have some very short barrel options. I know most people aren't fans of mag-fed shotguns, but with the right ammo the 590RM seems to be solid from what I've seen. My big sticking point is getting rounds off. Alternatives for reloading the semi are things like a 4-5 shot syringe which if done well is incredibly fast (but may be challenging under duress), or a side saddle. Still not as fast as an external box mag though. If you guys have any thoughts I'd love to hear.

Hey everyone,
Couple buddies and I recently got out for some long-range shooting in BC and managed to stretch things out to 1,200 meters. We filmed the entire session, including target impacts, spotting, corrections, and some of the challenges we ran into with wind and conditions.
We’re a new channel and this is our first video, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback from more experienced shooters on our setup, shooting technique, video format, or anything else you notice.

Rifle/Caliber: Accuracy international AX in 308,
Sako TRG in 308 and Timberwolf C14 in 338 Lapua Mag
Optic: Steiner, US Optics and Nightforce
Distance: 1,200m
Location: British Columbia, Canada
What would you have done differently at that distance?
Thanks for watching and stay safe.

Shooting Got my first shipment of .308

Ngl, I cheaped out on my first shipment and kept every box under $32

I found the 180gr for $28.99 per box, so I snagged 2 of those and S&B 147Gr 50 pack was on sale for around $60, then the Federal 150gr were around $30 and PMC 147gr were $28.99

I am going to do a test with these and see what my 1:10 barrel shoots best at 300 yards and then I will spend a bit more on 175gr and 168gr which people praise

Shooting at some steel 8x8 at 600 in preparation for my upcoming LEH goat draw. Will be keeping shots under 400 for the hunt but want to get comfortable with distance.

Lots to learn shooting this far. So many variables. Wind has been crazy the last little bit so thats been a fun learning curve

I tested four different .22 LR rounds in my Henry Lever Action to see which one it preferred.

Test setup

  • Distance: 50 yards
  • Front rest and rear bag
  • 10-shot groups

Ammunition tested

  • CCI Blazer (included because it won my bulk ammo test)
  • CCI Mini-Mag
  • Eley Club
  • Eley Force

I was starting to lose hope in the Henry at 50 yards until I tried out the Eley Force

Shooting Being able to shoot without severe muscular pain is awesome 🥳

23 Upvotes

I feel like trying to explain this often is like I am two headed dragon since this field is new and emerging, I kinda trying to explain what happen in simple dumb down terms pragmatically to me with chronic pain syndrome:

So it's a bit complicated, but new research interlinks ADHD can cause chronic pain in depth, and stimulants can dramatically help, along with other meds like pramipexole. As someone who is AuADHD: I have to wave said study data in doctors' faces and find a new doctor who actually listens and works with their patients.

Please give me Vyvanse and pramipexole to fix my chronic pain based on study data because everything else they've tried has failed or been mismanaged.

Now I can go pew pew with guns without my back being in 8/10 pain afterwards taking Vyvanse and pramipexole, and it's resolving a really severe disability I've had since 2019.

I am also not making up things, Dr. S Kasahara has lead in depth studys within this field and has a whole mini study review on neurodivergent chronic pain management:
