I am sorry about the shoulder, but I am glad you still shoot. I love to try and shoot distances, but I need to learn so much. I try and view all the YouTube shows on long distance shooting. I had sniper training 42 years ago in VietNam, but the equipment is so improved, especialy the optics. We were operating in the stone ages compared to today. Good luck with your shooting and Merry Christmas. ONTXKD

Hay OXTKD I was just wondering if you were still out there I have not herd from you in a while I had to Chang my name to DaveG do to conflict of interests Dave's Gunsmithing sounded to much like a business I really don't have a business yet just graduated from gunsmithing school. I was just wondering how you were doing and your family. I Am doing pretty good took my grand son out deer hunting but all we got were a couple of squirrels. Better luck next time he will be 12 this year so he can hunt with a bow we have been practing.he really wants to kill a deer and eat it hope to here from you soon would like to talk about hog hunting.best regards David.

DaveG: Good to here from you. I had wrist surgery just after Christmas and I have not shot since. They built me a new wrist. I am so far behind in reloading, but at least deer season is over. Everyone is wanting pistol rounds now. They will just wait a little longer. Glad you are hunting with Grandson. You are making good memories. Good Luck and will talk with you later. ONTXKD

 

[DaveG]

ONTXKD I hope they did a good job on your wrist did they make it bionick? so you can reload twice as fast. I was wondering why I have not herd from you in a wile. It is good to here from you how is your grandson doing did he like his life member ship to NRA. I got my grandson one too right now we all need to do as much as we can to fight the good fight with all these politicians trying to do us in. Ok hope you get better soon and I will talk to you latergun)

I try to build 3 rifles every year and shoot 1 to 4 ruminants.

The local range has 50 and 100 yards. I shoot there to check accuracy.

I drive 900 miles to hunt. I get there a week or two early and practice shooting at long range. Some rifles are a Lead pipe cinch at 500 yards, some only at 400 yards. A man has got to know his limitations.

[fonzy702]

I practice for hunting, but my practice also consists of some competition and my range/course is a precision rifle type of layout. So I guess you could say that I practice hunting, competition, and tactical.

gun)

 

[savatage]

i voted rec because 95% of my shooting is done in simulated hunting situations on steel targets at various odd ranges from 500-800 yards shot from a prone position off of a bipod and rear hand bag in preperation for hunting trips.

+1 ... Same here , in preperation .

I think most people shoot more for recreational purpose, weather its in preparation for hunting, or competition. Which by all means is good. The poll could have been worded better.
