A friend of mine came up to NJ for the 4th... picked him up at the airport at 10. We drove down to Dicks and I bought a new 870 express and like 80rds. Drove back to my place, loaded up the Taurus Pt99 with 300rds, and the M44 Mosin Nagant with like 250rds. Another friend tagged along and we headed down!

 

Bout an hour later we arrived, 1:10pm. Went into the building, filled out the membership thingy, and got flags and targets and went to booth 14. I went to target the night before and picked up a few cases of soda and a couple cheap TV trays. I also had some of the color changing targets for the heck of it. So ya... time for sweet fire belching picssss!!!

ok, so when are we going back??!??!

you guys are messy.. LOL

 

some really good pictures.. they are pretty relax there? allowing you to shoot shit?

awesome pictures! lol. I am impressed. what kind of camera?

Nice, man! How did you capture the muzzle blast with the flame?

You can shoot pretty much anything not glass, plywood, or metal. You can shoot steel, but its gotta be at 200 yards.

 

The in front of the line pics were taken on a tripod with a Canon 50D and a 10-22 EFs lens with a wireless shutter release. The soda exploding was a 70-200/2.8L with two 1.4x teleconverters... on that body is roughly 600mm worth of lens All of the other pics were hand held, 50D, 24-70/2.8L.

 

Man... I wish we got pics of slugs hittin soda cans... man they just f-in disappeared! LOL!!!! It was great when birdshot tagged one... it would start spraying soda out the side, etc.

We got the muzzle flash by holding the shutter down high speed. We would call out the shot, the camera person would hold the shutter release, and hopefully the gun belched fire at the right moment. We took like 750 pics total.

Awesome. I need to get some better photo equipment, myself. My old Rebel Digital isn't hacking it anymore. I wish I could afford L lenses though, lol!

Well... nothin wrong with a Rebel. I shot professional pics for a couple years with one. As long as you are ok with the body.... I'd just get better EF lenses. Alternatively, you can score a great deal on a used 40D which is an excellent body.

 

Camera's are just like guns... total addiction! I at least have a business that pays for the photo gear

More pics

Yeah I've gotten a couple of lenses that I like. They're cheaper lenses but decent. Personally I feel that I need to upgrade the camera body at this point, though.
