Wingshooter

I have heard about an indoor range in Charleston near Bow Water ~30min South of Athens. I don't know if that's too far away, but rumor has it that they charge $5 for half an hour with no (or minimal) yearly membership. I have planned to visit there myself, but I haven't yet. I can't confirm those details or anything else about it, but that is what I have been told by a friend. Anyone else know about this range? It's pretty close to me, so I need to at least check it out one of these days.

That's a great idea taking a .22 and getting some quality practice. That way even if she normally uses a laser, she will still have the confidence to shoot with sights. I think she'll probably do just fine with the open sights keeping both eyes open. It just takes a little bit of practice to be able to focus on the front sight without closing one eye, but the sight picture with the dominant eye is the same. I find that I have better situational awareness that way. Now, if it's a longer shot, I may close one eye.

I don't close one eye to use my sights. In fact, I shoot better with both eyes open while aligning the front and rear sights. I do close one eye with a rifle or scope. Both eyes open when shooting my bow. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it works for me. I don't see why she couldn't still use the sights with both eyes open. Which eye is her dominant eye? Congrats BTW, I'm still hoping my wife will develop an interest in getting her HCP.

Watch out, Frosty the snow zombie may rise up out of the cold just begging to be put down!

Any chance Matthews was thinking of Michael Jackson? I mean, that would make more sense....

Me too... Houston. Feels niiiice. Getting home is going to be the slipery part.

I think you have a few corroded rounds. I found some shotgun shells at my dad's house that were not properly stored in an old hunting jacket for decades. These things are nasty and greenish-blue on the brass. I wouldn't shoot ammo that has a lot of corrosion on the brass or is damaged. Now, if they are just old without any damage then I wouldn't hesitate to shoot them.

I think that that wolf had it's own gravitational pull that she could not escape.

I only see clips of those 3 when Fox makes fun of them.

He said he only "...forgot he was black tonight for an hour." Only an hour? RACIST!!!

I almost forget that Matthews is a moron... until I hear him speak. I wonder if he had his special leg tingle going on during the speech.

Don't spoil it for me.... I have visions of sunshine! :bowrofl: I agree, snow is better than ice any day.

I have a real nice one from when I lived up North. I have never needed it since living in TN for snow. It makes a great dust pan when working out in the yard or garage though. It looks like I will be out of the "danger zone" again with this next round of white stuff.

Maybe that's corrosion instead of leaked powder. Is it green?

I think it was for a minute

I like the fluted cylinders on the .45/.45acp and the .357/9mm.

Nice Ruger!!! I really like the convertibles. That is awesome to get two calibers in one. I have a Single-Six .22/.22mag convert. ss. I need to snap some pics of that one. There's just something about single action shooting that keeps me wanting more of these revolvers. Vaquero is next for me. Here are my .44 mag's: (holster got stained on a hog hunt... battle scars:tough:) I go in the woods, it goes with me. Same gun with 7.5" ported bbl, trigger job, square trigger guard, Hogue grips, and Burris 2X

I'm going to have to remember this. Do you have a website?

There are no other safeties on a variants 3, 4, 7, 8 or LEM. Variants 7, 8 and LEM are DAO. To prevent AD, you just don't allow the trigger to be pulled until ready to fire. I have only shot the LEM, so I don't have any experience with the other variants. It has a long trigger pull on the first shot with a short reset for subsequent shots. Here are the different USPc variants: Variants 1 and 2 (double action/single action, decocking and safety lever) Variants 1 (lever on left) and 2 (lever on right) allow the user to carry the pistol in a single-action mode (cocked and locked) with the manual safety engaged. This same pistol, without modification, can be carried in double-action mode, with or without the manual safety engaged, and with the benefit of a decocking lever. Variants 3 and 4 (double action/single action, decocking lever, but no safety) Variants 3 (lever on left) and 4 (lever on right) provide the user with a frame-mounted decocking lever that does not have the "safe" position. This combination only allows the hammer to be lowered from SA position to DA position. It does not provide the "safe" position to prevent the pistol from firing when the trigger is pulled. Variants 5 and 6 (double action only, with safety lever) For the double action only user, variants 5 (lever on left), 6 (lever on right), and of the USP operate as double action only pistols with a bobbed hammer always returning to the DA position (forward) after each shot is fired. To fire each shot, the trigger must be pulled through the smooth DA trigger pull. Variants 5 and 6 have a manual safety lever. Variants 7 and 8 (double action only, no control lever) No control lever is provided on variant 7. Variant 8 is similar to variant 7. Variants 9 and 10 (double action/single action, safety lever, but no decocking) Variants 9 (lever on left) and 10 (lever on right) allow the shooter to carry the pistol in a single-action mode (cocked and locked) with the manual safety engaged. This same pistol, without modification, can be carried in double-action mode (hammer down), with or without the manual safety engaged. The double action mode offers a second strike/double action capability in case of a misfire. The control lever has no decocking function on variants 9 and 10 so one would have to carefully lower the hammer manually. LEM (Law Enforcement Modification) TriggerDeveloped especially for the U.S. government, the Law Enforcement Modification (or LEM for short), is a USP DAO (Double-Action Only) model with a unique trigger mechanism. This mechanism improves the double action trigger performance and reduces the weight of the DAO trigger pull to 7.5-8.5 pounds, utilizes a stronger hammer spring, and shortens the trigger reset. Aside from the LEM mechanism, it is identical to the USP Variant 7 (DAO) model.

I've just got WAY too much time on my hands right now. Beware the power of the dark side: you can crush economies with this baby.......

After the MA election, I think he's ice skating with Saddam.

My USP compact does not have a safety or decocking lever. Just pull the trigger.
