Faaa-BOOM! That thing was cool. There was a nice and generous Barret owner there ( typical of the firearms community in my experience) who was real happy to let me and my friend Shari give it a try ( my friend Shari had shot one before) . I was a little nervous but with some encouragement from the rifle owner and Rosey ( Smokin .50 ) I let it rip. Very glad I did ! Lots of fun And surprisingly not that bad in the recoil department. 

well done. id like to try one eventually. Where were you guys at that allows 50 bmg

Isnt that the 100 yd at obrpc.

I have a friend back in Tx who has one, but I've never shot it. Standing invitation to do so. Next trip out I'm going to make it a point to lose my .50 cal virginity!

 

Good on you and glad you had a good time!

We were at Old Bridge , yes Smokin .50 ( Dave ) hosted us there. Let us try some Black Powder ( so much fun ) in a novelty match , then we got to try to BMG , then we did a photo shoot. It was a good day

Very cool! Definitely on my bucket list!!

I was at RTSP about a year ago when they test fired one on range one - yes it was loud.  BTW I did get a chance today, also at RTSP, to fire a .50 cal Desert Eagle - boy does that have a kick and a huge fireball come out the front.

A good time was indeed had by all!  Glad you three made the trip!  Memories and friendships that last a lifetime!

Yeah , but could it BE more fun? Did you shoot the gold or silver one?

Definitely Dave.

It was just a plain black one.  Can't believe how heavy it was as well.
