How much shooting do you do?

[Demonic69]

Aw bless, big hands too!
Mine are 3 months and 2 years, both apparently too young to take shooting :(

I think the more pertinent question is: How do any of you pay for your shooting, you clearly don't work
I manage once a month at the minute, maybe twice if I'm lucky but it means leaving the Mrs with both kids again after she's had them all week.
I'm hoping to expand my social circles at the club, then get an hour or so during the day on my "lunch" break when I can.

Club membership only £60 per annum, no range fees (100 yard indoor full-bore range).
Reload all ammo except .22, very careful with my purchases plus some casting.
Stalking and vermin control free in exchange for a share of the venison.

I don't see anything that won't fit in a range bag... The rhythmic pop of a semi-auto .22 might even help him sleep.

Demonic,
I know the feeling well! Heres the reason why I dont get out to do as much shooting as I would like....
5 weeks old but over 3 weeks early. Going by the vice like grip on him thou, with a bit of training I am sure he will be able to give me a hand with my case prep soon

400 rounds of .22 is less than the price of 4 pints. Add 20 rounds of .308 on a Sunday and it's only about £25/week. Seems quite reasonable to me and as our membership secretary says, it's still cheaper than golf.

How about combining the two?, just think how much fun you could have chasing golf balls around a course with 22 semi auto and a brick or two of ammo

[HALODIN]

I like the sound of that and those bunkers would make good backstops! I would like to combine gliding and paintballing, could be fun when 2 of you are spiraling around in a thermal trying to paint each other's gliders...

It may just be me, but . . . . . . . . that sounds like a secret code for some very dodgy sexual practices!

[HALODIN]

I object to the word dodgy... Seems perfectly normal to me!!!

I think shooting terminology has warped your way of thinking. Too many men handling your weapon and pulling your bore snake perhaps...

I've seen a vid about shooting golf - 18 targets of varying shapes and sizes at varying ranges. Quite a nice idea... if you have the space!

Just what has Saddler been telling you?, those Guinea Pigs crawled in that hole of their own volition, I think it was shortly after something about Richard Gere was mentioned . . . . .
