Weird gun purchases?

[garandman]

My local ranges are fairly primitive without standard yard markers so I'm left wondering if the target frames are 25 yd or 50 yd or 100 yd.


So I bought this :

What weird gun stuff have you bought lately ?

Are you seriously starting another thread about nothing?

I like targets that deliver easily identifiable hits from a distance. Clays are my No.1 choice... But I also went and got a bunch of multicolored plastic cups that I am going to fill with water the next time I go play long distance pin the tail on the donkey...

"Weird gun purchases"... I thought ya' talking about weird guns. At work few days ago some of us were having a conversation about shooting when the Chiappa Rhino revolver was brought up. I said that even though it looks badass and cyberpunky, there is not much need for it unless you are Guy Montag's character in a Equilibrium/Fahrenheit-451 crossover who intend to do more damage to the baddies than with just a flamethrower. Otherwise, a good old Smith and Wesson J or N frame, or an 1873 SAA, if you want to be old school hardcore, should suit your needs...

Is it hard to operate that along with your walker?

 

[whatsupdoc]

Wouldn't a laser rangefinder be more useful than a wheel. I once had a 100 yard range very close to my home, no markings. NEVER did I see anyone measuring the length.

But hey you never know you can always use it before a football game to confirm the field is legit.

Im in a wheelchair. Thanx for bringing it up.

I missed you.

I knew if I posted this, youd show up to whine like a toddler.

Your work here is done.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

All the more reason to use a range finder.
It is the 21st after all.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Okay, I gotta ask. If you're in a wheelchair and you are using that device to measure with. Are you going in circles because you are only using one hand to wheel your chair? Kinda like the one arm one leg swimmer?

Is the stupid question forum locked out or do you just like reading your own words?

Yes.

So I just pull out my laser rangefinder and measure it.

This is the bear pit. Read the forum description and look at some of the rest of the other threads.

And go grab some cheese to go with your whine.

Does that red handle vibrate?

 

[garandman]

Does that red handle vibrate?

Why would you want it to ?

To massage my prostate. Duh.

 

[garandman]

If you cannot distinguish that 75 yard targets are behind 50 yard targets and 25yd targets are in front of 50 yard targets you need to revisit 2nd grade to understand what the magnitude of numbers mean.

This from someone clearly unable to read.

I will explain it again using small words for you ...

My ranges are not real fancy. They are basically open fields with nice dirt wall berms. They have no yard markers. I have to put targets on stands and I want to get the distance exactly right.

Does that make sense or do I need to type slower for you?

 

[garandman]

@TheGerman ... I have. You missed it. Try to keep up.

For instance... that matter is not the topic of this thread.

 

[garandman]

I always hated when the berms change distance overnight. Or you could just be senile and lack any depth perception.

I'm guessing English is not your native language...

What is wrong with you asking such a question? Everyone knows that thing has a Detroit Locker.

I was expecting something more witty and thought out than that.

But then again you post a measurement wheel. Slow night at the nursing home?

Well, YOU certainly aren't spicing things up . <yawn> Yer boring me.

 

[garandman]

To massage my prostate. Duh.

TMI, bro. Talk to your doc about your health problems. I don't want to know.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Now I can't tell if you are backing up or still going in circles.

Yes, I am.

The only thing being projected on this thread is how big of a fud you are..... The benchrest moa fud boys must love you at your local range... Telling 1 shot 1 kill stories while you walk out a 100 yards with your wheel counter lol telling em this is how operators do it. I can see it now lol . Arguing over how many brush strokes when you clean between shots. ..it's cool man I get it just expect some flak when you go full creedmoor on snipershide and not benchrest Central.

You put like WAAAYYY too much effort into that post.

Hey weakuilibrium... That was funny maybe the 1st 50 times I've seen it.



Try coming up with something original. Or just give it up.

Oh sweet Jesus. Not this again.

You know, like at the Driving Range, what they do to the Goober in the Ball Picker Upper Doo Hitchy?

Ya, you know where I'm going with this.......

Sometimes those get involved with the shooting I do, but almost never because that was my original plan for them. It's nit-picky, but you gotta draw lines somewhere, right?

This one time, at deer camp... My girlfriend bought me one of those new-fangled phones that flip up and have a touch screen... Wicked shit, right? Destroyer of worlds. I took it out and shot it. She wasn't too happy, but understood my reasons for doing so. We ultimately lost the battle, and now both have portable surveillance devices in our pockets that make that one look like the slightly post-9/11 era bullshit that it was.

No one has ever bought me another phone, though. At least some things went as intended.

You sure that wasn't at band camp?

Is it me or was she kind of hot?

 

[kthomas]

So rather than get a tool that gives very precise measurements to 1,000+ yards and has proven to be instrumental in the precision rifle world (LRF), you got a measuring wheel???

Wow....just, wow....

 

[cornhusker86]

PERV !!!

Yeah. So??

FFS.........the wheel is EMP proof

 

[whatsupdoc]

All the BS aside the range closest to my home, both the 100 and 200 yard targets are 2 yards short according to my Leica RF.

How do you screw that up ?

I may need to borrow that wheel.
