rjw63 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 If you want to improve long distance shooting with a rifle Dom, then I would suggest spending a whole day on a short range (25m) just zeroing your weapon. You will get a feel for the sights and just how sensitive they can be to even slight movements . Even your breathing will affect your shooting and will be even more noticeable at greater distances. When you can get a 5 round grouping into a hole the size of a quarter, then you are ready to to go long. Try and release the shot at the sweet spot between breaths and squeeze the trigger in a controlled , smooth manner . Dont snatch at it . You actually sound like Jack Reacher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been trying to get my mate at the range but he's got family stuff. Hope to be able to spend a day getting familiar with my weapon and zeroing in my sights.

Dom_Wren Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Picked this up today, Mossberg Maverick 88. Cheap ($180), reliable and bought home defense and clay pigeon shells for multi use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just bought this for a little bit of home defense, you know, postmen and paper boys etc. Got it modded to take 50.cal rounds for the extra power. Over 5,000 rpm too, so could probably take out tanks if I ever saw any.. you can never be too careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Seriously though home defence shotgun rounds, what do they do, lock your doors and call the police for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They turn burglars into Swiss cheese but they shouldn't go through a wall and kill your neighbours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I carry a handgun every day for work, and by far most interesting aspect to gun use is at the end of every shift where I unload and attempt to eject the round in the chamber in such a way that it pops directly up into the air and I can catch it. Dropping it is bitterly disappointing, but I'm currently on a 4 shift streak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But surely you only use the gun to shoot bottle tops off, and to scare Dr Carl Kennedy when you're drinking in Lassiters. #stereotypesarefun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking about Neighbours alumni i'm going to gratuitously segue into Eliza Taylor in The 100 being my current favourite celebrity. What a babe.
