Has anybody watched “blacklist” on Netflix? Started it as couple days ago. Seems pretty interesting.

Yes! It gets really good, you’ll love it.

Took the terrorists to a movie and then lunch.
Came home and fixed the fire pit on the "DECK" for CKW. New regulator and a supply hose.
Re-hung the back screen door on the daughters house next door.

Great 1st day of the year. Priceless time with the terrorists and got things done.

Excellent !

When i was moving some ammo cans today i actualy found a spare pump i forgot i had. Its in the box. May be new i cant remember.

It's great that you don't have to worry about a leaky basement anymore ..... happy for you !

On about episode 5 or 6 now. I like it. Hell there’s like 6 seasons of it.

My 2020 goals for guns are to let the collection settle down for a while and see what floats to the top as the cream of the collection. It’s almost like a real plan and everything.

Hmmmm ...... seems a little shaky !

The Mrs is quite enthralled with it.

My goal for 2020 is no new projects. Which is why I had to get it to the Wizard on Monday. Technically a 2019 project.

Had a great afternoons at the range, got about 2 hours of range time today.

X39 AR ran great. Couple of small hiccups, one of the mags didn’t want to stay in all of the way and Red Army ammo has a harder primer than Wolf. Looks like is should be a 1.5-2 MOA rifle with cheap steel ammo. Absolutely love the Gibbz side charging upper.

Discovered Winchester’s subsonic 22 ammo isn’t really subsonic. Otherwise the rest were varying degrees of quiet and I tested what I wanted to on that front.

After mulling it around and coming to terms with it for a week or two, I bought a Gen5 G19 with a Holosun 507 on it last week. I put 150rds through that and I find that I rather enjoyed it. That was probably the most fun I’ve had with a 9mm pistol in a along time.

With that, I’ve said good things about an AR and a g-word so I’m going to go find a therapist now.

Took the family to a few pawn shops today just to get out of the house and look for something cool enough to keep me from ordering anything online. I think I found it. With any luck, I should be coming home tomorrow with a factory built Noveske 18" SPR in 5.56. I'll put my PST 2.5-10x32 scope on it and shoot 77gr pills just like my hero KJQ.

What exactly is a sniper match? Sounds interesting.

20 rounds center fire in slow fire. You must shoot prone with only front support for the rifle allowed. You are shooting at 100 yards. You have 20 seconds to get a shot off with a 20 second period between shots.

Not really a sniper match but a fun way to spend New Year’s Day.

My thinking is that by the end of 2020, I should have a better feel for what I like if I stop distracting myself with new toys. Then, the unloved stuff can move on to bring funds in for more shooting.

I’ve decided that I like shooting guns more than just having guns. Sure, having guns is fun but it does not compare to the fun of running the snot out of them.

 

[88E30M50]

I’ve been in the church shooting thread and watched the video. Let me say here and now that if I die in a shooting that has a clear video record and if I die because I made mistakes, you guys better watch that damned video and learn from whatever screwup I may have done that got me killed. I’ll be damned if I want mistakes I make to not result in hard won lessons.

Just saying...

I do enjoy shooting red dot equipped pistols. It makes me look better than I am.

Nothing spectacular and I'm not sure why they call it a sniper match, but in this case it is shot on an MR-31 target with any centerfire rifle at 100 yards. The 10 ring is 1.75" and the X ring is 0.75". It is the 100 yard reduced version of the MR-1 NRA 600 YD High Power Rifle target.

It is shot from the prone position with front bipod or sandbags and no artificial rear support (you can use your support hand in the back). All rounds are loaded one at a time. You have 20 seconds to fire/20 second rest/20 seconds to fire/20 seconds to rest, etc until you have fired your 20 rounds over the course of 13 minutes.

The 2 best scores today were 200/17X and 200/19X.

This is pretty much where I'm at for the most part. I'll add that I need to learn to pony up the extra money at times to fulfill my wants instead of making compromises just because something is cheaper but not necessarily better suited for me.

Well said. But we may just want to watch the video to see people die. I learned that in the thread we are referring too. On Ingo. Brilliant.

I concur

That they do and they do add a level enjoyment on their own.
