My son and I took a ride today to CT for a private lesson with one of my fishing buddies. He's also a instructor.

 

Little did I know he arranged for his range buddies to provide some "distraction" from our lesson plan.

 

Gun school is fun.

 

 

FA and you managed to keep yourself from going full rock and roll...

Man that looks like a lot of fun! Totally jealous!

I must say that looked like fun.

Nice, weeeeeehhh

Shooting full auto isn't easy. Or I should say, shooting full auto accurately isn't easy. lol

 

We were shooting at a 12' steel plate at 100 yards. Not easy.

 

If you notice there was a lot of dust kicked up by the HK and I couldn't see the target.

 

The suppressor on the M16 kept pushing the gas back and making my eye's water.

My friend is the shiznit when it comes to this stuff.

 

He trains with the advanced guys in VA and the like.

 

He spent ALL day working with me and my son.

 

We did drill after drill, building on each, starting with dry fire and ending up with shooting on the move with the AR and transitioning to the pistol when empty. (this is when I gave him a migraine due to me being a lefty - I shoot the pistol right but long arms left)

 

To my credit, during one of the last reload drills with the AR, I emptied the magazine, did my reload and engaged my targets but ran out of ammo again, so I transitioned to my pistol and ran out of ammo on that too, quick reload, like he showed us, and finished the drill. It happened in seconds but it felt like second nature because we had practiced so hard. I think he was impressed. : )

 

I'm a MUCH better shooter today than yesterday and yet still have only scratched the surface.

 

The full auto stuff a blast to experience, but I actually preferred the eduction and schooling.
