It was a good day, about 15 show up, and we snagged a new member. We had three traps going, with two set up throwing doubles, that was a hoot. Several birds and one deer decided to play no-man's-land WW I style, I'm actually surprised two of the suicidal birds didn't get shot as they crossed paths with targets. The biggest news of the day, Peel broke clays while they were still in the air, what's more, she did it three times in a row. Just goes to show that the right gun can improve your game.

For those of you who hunt deer... do you get up before the crack of dawn, so you can be ready for them nice & early? Well... stop it! Apparently, Bambi actually prefers to be gently nestled down all cozy-like in the wee hours of the morn... and doesn't even start moving around until 10 a.m. or so (I'm feeling a real deep sense of kinship with deer all of a sudden... My People! ...Fellow Night Owls!) Anyway, a large Pennsylvania study that tracked them with GPS monitoring implies that some old hunting wisdom may actually be a bit off-kilter. Anyway, here's the link and you can judge for yourself: https://lancasteronline.com/sports/outdoors/10-year-pennsylvania-deer-study-shakes-up-what-hunters-thought-they-knew-column/article_833aa0d8-06eb-11ee-952e-8b9e8519a8d8.html

I have a 1-8 Vortex strike eagle mounted on my AR and like it, being able to dial in the focus was a tremendous help for me, the only down side is their weight. On my AK I have the Primary arms 3x micro prism and love it, the 3x is just enough to stretch the shots, I would feel comfortable with the MP at 300-400 yards. Eye relief doesn’t seem to be an issue with either, if I was to do it again I would go with the 1-6 strike eagle, when I bring the AR to NC and shoot on my buddies property we set up at 300 yards and I set the LPVO at 4x and we shoot at 10-8-6 inch plates. The MP will be with me on the next trip, excited to give that a run at 300 yards. You’re welcome to try both if you like.

Hi Everybody. Based on Scorpio's mention above, I am the new member, with my first post. Told you guys I would sign up - LOL It was truly a pleasure to meet everyone, and I look forward to doing it again. As a walk in, you all really made me feel welcome - Thank you for that. Thank you for setting it up @Scorpio64 , and thank you and @Mr.Stu for the traps and loaner guns, plus anyone else I forgot to mention. @Ms. 12 Gauge, I am shopping for an auto now! Thanks for letting me try it out. @Mrs. Peel, It was nice to meet, and I forgot to mention, you do great moderating. Hope to see everyone again soon!

Urge Your Rep. to Vote for Repealing Biden’s Gun Ban! Take Action Immediately! Call your Representative at 202-224-3121 and urge him/her to vote for H.J. Res. 44. You can go here to figure out who your Rep. is. Tomorrow is the big day! The House of Representatives is set to hold a vote on repealing Joe Biden’s ban on 40 million pistols. So please call your representative immediately at 202-224-3121. Tell him or her to vote for H.J. Res. 44, which is the congressional resolution to repeal Biden’s gun ban. Today, every Member of Congress needs to hear from GOA members about how important this vote is and that you are watching! If you’re not sure who your congressman is, you can simply call the above number and give your zip code. Or you can find your representative here. Once the House passes this resolution, the Senate can take up the measure as well. And because this is a “privileged resolution” under the Congressional Review Act, it can NOT be filibustered by Chuck Schumer and his fellow cronies. That means the House AND Senate can pass this with just 51% of the votes in each chamber. That’s why it’s imperative that we swamp the House of Representatives with thousands of phone calls in support of H.J. Res. 44. Now for some slightly bad news. It appears that some squishy Republican representatives may be planning to undermine our efforts to repeal the gun ban. Listen to these reports from Punchbowl News out of Washington: The House Rules Committee is coming in at 4 p.m. today and has five bills on its schedule, including Clyde’s pistol-brace resolution… GOP leadership aides said the Rules Committee will wait to see what happens on the floor with the motion to reconsider tonight before deciding what to do next. And there’s a backlash toward the [pro-gun] Freedom Caucus from the rest of the Republican Conference. Some GOP lawmakers are privately threatening to vote against anything offered by Freedom Caucus members. That’s Swamp talk for: “squishy moderates could kill H. J. Res. 44 in retaliation for something unrelated to the Second Amendment that pro-2A representatives are working on.” This. Is. Not. Acceptable. Biden just banned 40 million guns. GOA got an injunction, but it doesn’t cover the whole nation. Now is the time for Congress to set aside differences—even within the Republican party—and vote to protect your rights! This is why it is especially imperative that every gun owner calls their House representative at 202-224-3121—regardless of party affiliation. If your representative is a Republican, urge them to vote for the rule and not let inter-party disputes negatively impact the Second Amendment. If your representative is a Democrat, tell them that self-defenders, hunters, and veterans who own pistol braces are all calling on Congress to vote down the Biden Pistol Ban! Additionally, several Republicans—who were elected on a pro-Second Amendment platform—have yet to cosponsor our bill and need extra encouragement and support. If your congresswoman or congressman is any one of the following, it means they have NOT cosponsored H.J. Res. 44. And we urge you to pick up the phone and give them a call at 202-224-3121: Speaker McCarthy Majority Leader Scalise Chavez-DeRemer, Lori Kiley, Kevin Schweikert, David Ciscomani, Juan Collins, Mike Kiggans, Jen Williams, Brandon Wagner, Ann Armstrong, Kelly Baird, James R. Gallagher, Mike Rogers, Harold Womack, Steve Garbarino, Andrew R. Steel, Michelle Buchanan, Vern Calvert, Ken Diaz-Balart, Mario Kim, Young James, John Joyce, David P. Malliotakis, Nicole Salazar, Maria Elvira Smith, Christopher H. Turner, Michael R. Molinaro, Marc Kean, Thomas LaLota, Nick D'Esposito, Anthony Lawler, Mike Fitzpatrick, Brian K. Again, every Representative needs to hear from us now—regardless of whether they’ve cosponsored H.J. Res. 44. If you’ve been following the news, tensions are high among Republicans in the House, and there are some who might undermine our efforts, simply based on hurt feelings that have nothing to do with repealing Biden’s gun control. We can’t let this happen. Your congressman needs to hear from you today. So please call your Representative at 202-224-3121 and urge him or her to vote for H.J. Res. 44. Tell them that Gun Owners of America is watching and will report their vote back to you. Let’s send a message to Joe Biden and let him know that he can’t bypass Congress and enact gun control unilaterally. Thank you for taking action! In Liberty, Erich Pratt Senior Vice President P.S. Please Take Action and then distribute this alert to every pro-gun person you know. Encourage them to call their Representative at 202-224-3121 to urge their support for H.J. Res. 44.

Understood. My offer still stands if you want to borrow an ACOG to try it out.

A wise man on here once told me that magnification doesn’t help you shoot better, it helps you ID your target better. He also told me that a red dot will do you just fine out to those ranges as long as you learn your holdovers. He ain’t wrong. Just saying.

Or accepting that the term is pork roll and not Taylor Ham.

Sorry - couldn't make it out - by the time I finished my stuff the honeydo list started stacking up... Glad y'all had a good time. I may try to call one in August if time permits, or in September. July is almost completely booked for me.

Count me in for October!

Glad y’all had fun! I hope to join you in October.

I'm so glad I got to hit the range with you, friends! It was a beautiful day out and I was able to test out a new magazine spring. Thank goodness I didn't get bit by the snake shotgun....

Two things I never trust is the ATF and a fart. They are both in the same category anyway

Alright, Pedantic Pet Peeve here - there is no such thing as “muscle memory” - there are no brains in your muscles. Your muscles don’t remember shit. You teach yourself a procedure and you practice it until you can remember how to do it without thinking about each individual step - it is procedural memory. Look at your firearms training/practice through the lens of navigating the four levels of achievement: 1) Unconscious incompetence 2) Conscious incompetence 3) Conscious competence 4) Unconscious competence With the goal of reaching and maintaining the fourth level for the most crucial tasks If you can keep 20% of your skill at level 4 with the remainder at level 3 you are better than 90% of the rest of the shooters out there. Everything you can do in a gunfight without thinking directly about it frees up time and ability to make decisions. That’s where gunfights are won. We die in the gaps. We lose in the moments between action where we are making decisions. Build your skill set so there are fewer gaps. Shooting, especially combat shooting, is simple there are only three steps (ID threat, line up sights, press trigger to rear without disturbing sights) but it is not easy because it happens in the early world. A gunfight is also 99% mental. The physical component is minimal. The right mindset (which begins with training) amplifies a solid skillset, reduces gaps, and lets you prevail.

There needs to be a cognitive test to run!
