Dope!

[Bowen]

Keep your right elbow down with the rifle, you'll get better control.

[tFly]

Guns are indeed sweet, I wouldn't mind giving that m4 a go..

[cove_boy]

[Trini-dad72]

Nice!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously love to try the M4 and the Sig too. But I have a soft spot for H&K products, as I really love the MP5, the UMP, the USP pistol, and the G3C. I just may give in and try to get a couple of those H&K items as Airsoft replica's one day.

[Kipp12]

Guns = Fun.

[Buzom]

No-one can hit anything that isn't at point blank range with a hand gun. That’s why 90% of movies are BS.

[NooNer]

in thailand, you can obliterate a cow with a rocket launcher for $1000usd. that would be intense.

I know of a couple people who were seriously injured and disabled for life from biking, do you think you could please explain to them how bikes are fun?

were your friends inicently hiking through the bushes when a speeding bike entered their spine?

[Kye]

What range is that?

[Wayne P]

Guns rule. I'm not too much into the guns designed to kill people, but they are still fun to shoot. If given the choice, I'd take a compound bow. I love being a redneck....

[tFly]

"Guns kill people and are thus horrible" debate on your marks, get set, GO!

[Trini-dad72]

The guns kill etc thing has been beaten to death on the BB already. Do a search and you'll find it Szymon. Right now, this thread is about going to a Range and popping a few paper targets.

[Shocker]

Thats sweet.

What range is that? And how much?

[DaveM]

my uncle was shot, and seriously injured and disabled for life from a gun accident, do you tihnk you could please explain to him how guns are fun?

Your uncle was shot by a person, dumbass. Don't blame the piece of metal, it didn't aim itself and pull its own trigger.

[Shrew]

LOL at the google add

[M@M]

"guns dont kill people, I do"

i was laughing at that one too.

My aunt was killed in a car accident, lets talk about how cool cars are.

[Norman]

Burke - $15 for a guest pass. Buddy of mine took me up for my birthday and just let me go crazy with his guns.

It was a hoot shooting shit up.

[frmstreetrider]

My aunt was killed in a car accident, lets talk about how cool cars are.

i love comments like this.
A)cars arent designed to kill people unless designed for the army with GUNS mounted on them
B)Why are guns designed? To Kill people.

thats the difference from your retarded comment and the fact of how Szymon's uncle was hurt

[Norman]

Fer gods sake.. this isn't a gun debate. It's a post about how cool it is to take a piece of steel and firing tiny little projectiles into unsuspecting pieces of paper while making a shitload of noise.

[billop]

replace 'pieces of paper' with people. now how cool is it?

i wasnt meening about your thread or firing guns
i just was mad about peoples stupid comments
bout cars. and bikes
there a lil different then guns

[Norman]

replace 'pieces of paper' with people. now how cool is it?

But I wasn't shooting at people, I was shooting pieces of paper... on a closed range. As in.. one that a person doesn't walk onto. Good god, bugger off - this has nothing to do with shooting people

[.243racer]

you didn't comment on my pics, so i'm not going to comment on yours ;)

and szymon, come on... no one wants to play the game with you. just drop it.

[Norman]

you didn't comment on my pics, so i'm not going to comment on yours ;)



oh puh leaze.. I did comment! I said good, but not good enough to let BP back ;)

[Troup]

and szymon, come on... no one wants to play the game with you. just drop it.
No doubt, it's a shooting range and I don't think Norman is training to kill someone, Grow up....


(What a stupid alias: "Szymon" - it doesn't even sound gangsta like I'm guessing you intended it to...)

[Faithless]

Hey norm where did you do this?

Do you need your Gun License?

[NooNer]

majin you need to read.

[Slamigo]

people who enjoy guns are creepy

*edit.
Sorry, that was judgmental. I should have said:

people who enjoy guns give me the creeps.

[wesleymantooth]

Sorry, that was judgmental. I should have said:

lol, they give me the creeps too. Only problem is that back in the day me and my dad used to carry a bear killer (big ass shotgun, no idea of gauge or w/e, I was pretty young) with us in the woods (never had to use it on an animal luckily, and never wanted to), but we used to shoot targets just so we knew if we did need to use it we'd be able to. So much fun. Conclusion - I am creepy too, I guess.

[jpi]

I don't think Norman is training to kill someone

Are you SURE about that?

[Aldo Nova]

awesome, and yes keep the elbow down for better control

[biggles604]

The peaceful, neutral Swiss love their guns. They are all issued guns in the required military training and they have very few gun related injuries, and only one gun death from military issue.
Makes for interesting window shopping too.

[VancouverIslguy]

bunch of hippy whiners in this thread if you ask me, Norman, I salute you're paper killing abilities.

[DaveM]

Disagree.

Right elbow horizontal.

[nouseforaname]

looked to me (armchair warrior +1) like the extendable stock was set too long, and yeah horizontal.

PS dave - spoke to you yesterday, cheers for the trails.

[Wayne P]

Disagree.

Right elbow horizontal.

Down and close to your body.

I can't believe we're debating this :lol:

My dad is an avid hunter, (uses a bow now cuz guns are too easy), and I've fired off lots of shots at cans and stuff out in the woods. That's one thing.
I don't think anyone really needs to own their very own assault rifle. But that's just me.

I have to admit that I'd like to play with this one though:

I'll debate pretty much anything.:lol:

Guns are fun! I want one of these:
http://www.tacticalshotgun.ca/pics/shotguns/mossberg_590_small_a.jpg

[Revscene]

with that M4, as with the rest of the colt designs (C7/C8/M16 etc), with your hand on the pistol grip, the butt should be the length of your forearm, and rest snug on your bicep with your arm bent at 90 degrees, a good place to start, from there you can adjust in and out in small amounts to find the spot

[Revscene]

on that note, heres one of mine;)

yepp, all the A2's in gagetown at the time were in use by combat engineers, and RCR members doing predeployment training

[sid vicious]

I wish i had a AR-15.

by the way I think you wear the same glasses as my girlfriend.

[Wayne P]

I'll debate pretty much anything.:lol:

http://www.biathlon.net/fundamentals.html

Well what do I know, I'm just a stupid redneck who shoots at road signs and mail boxes.

I just built a target for my bow in my backyard. Fun times.

Here's one very similar to mine:

Well then it's like we're brothers separated at birth!

Although you look at Revscene's pic, he's got the elbow down and I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing.

Bows.....I had a couple of buddies that would get all drunked up, go out in the middle of a field and shoot an arrow straight up and stand perfectly still............


Also sorry for the hijack.

[Wayne P]

Been there, done that, almost got killed (when I was about 12).

[trail worker]

nice, I agree that guns are fun when shooting things other than humans. The thought of shooting someone or something in cold blood makes me sick.
I spend probably 80% of my time in the bush or is bush camps, so having a gun makes sense to me - once you've had close calls with bears you don't want to fuck around. I'd shoot a bear if my life came down to it, but never for fun or sport.
Anyways the other day was my first time shooting a defender(12g. shotgun with a pistol stock insead of a shoulderstock). I would say, if I'm ever getting a gun for protection from bears or cougars, I'm picking upone of those fuckin things. pretty fucking sweet. Got pretty pissed up and demo'd a co-workers lawn chair with buckshot and finished it off with a half dozen slugs hahaha. thats what I call good fun.
For those of you who say drinking and guns don't mix I agree, altough I was working in a heli-camp over 40km from the nearest road, over 100km from the nearest town. Wasn't too worried about someone hiking through the bush and getting shot by accident.

[Trini-dad72]

I say arm down as well. Look at all of the footage of SWAT teams and Army units with their weapons up and ready, they are all pretty much arms down.

[atb]

who needs a gun when you have a cannon?

[Bonecracker]

in thailand, you can obliterate a cow with a rocket launcher for $1000usd. that would be intense.

Ya, well in Cambodia you can do it for 200 US.......
And Norman What range do you shoot at?

[*GiMpY_jR*]

dont cars kill a lot of people too? more then gun shootings?
but no cars arnt fun

[Revscene]

yeah, arm stays down, we've been taught to keep both arms shoulder width or less from the body, present less of a target, and supports the wepon more if you press the arms against the torso

[Wayne P]

Bingo.

[Trini-dad72]

Thank You. I figured as much.:martini:

I'm going to bow down on this one, just because it's pretty tough to argue shooting techniques with our country's finest.

I still must say, every bit of research I could find points to the basic technique I was taught some 28 years ago and have used ever since; having the right elbow (or left in my case as I shoot left) level with the shoulder.

Is there something that I and everything I could find on the internet missed?

[M_Dub]

EVERYTHING KILLS PEOPLE NOTHING IS FUN!

and if any of you people did any little bit of research and slight observation into szymon, you wouldnt be arguing

[AllShockedUp]

dont cars kill a lot of people too? more then gun shootings?
but no cars arnt fun

The argument is that cars aren't made for the specific purpose of killing things.

I mean, if you're going by that logic, everyone should have nuclear weapons, too, because it's not the weapon's fault that everyone doesn't restrict their nuclear weapon shooting to french islands in the south pacific.

haha dont ask me, thats just the way we have been taught, all wepons classes i have attended have been taught by well decorated infantry NCO's, so i trust they know what they are doing... remember this is the technique we have been taught for C7s as well, wether or not this is the best way to fire a hunting rifle i dont know, we are however allowed some leeway as well, as long as you are comfortable, you will shoot better.

[Troup]

Are you SURE about that?Key word: think, there's no way to tell for sure over the net.

[KamaKazi]

2 different reasons for shooting, 2 different ways to hold a rifle

I was originally taught to keep the elbow up to create a better brace laterally then when I started playing airsoft and paintball I was then taught the elbow down for the main reason of presenting a smaller target when taking fire. the stability lost laterally is minimal and the time left alive(not hit with pellet or paintball) is greatly increased assuming you know how to blend. same goes for reality to some degree.

[Loopie]

my uncle was shot, and seriously injured and disabled for life from a gun accident, do you tihnk you could please explain to him how guns are fun?

my uncle was seriously injured and disabled for life from a bike accident, do you tihnk you could please explain to him how bikes are fun?

So what's the point or difference? shit happens.

[Loopie]

oops...I see Bowen beat me to that comment^ :lol:
