Aim carefully grasshopper....

Looks like we got us a few guns!!!!

Some of the ftncityfatboys stuff...

Reckon we can get this can open???

I know, I'll stick this piece of rebar thru that loop thingy.....

umhumm, reckon i'd better stand on it whilest you twist it....

Better call for reinforcements!!!

And the can was opened and all was right with the world. Great time guys/gal. Good to meet some more of you FTF. Look forward to next time...

Yeah, all my hats have that ponytail attached. Sure did have a great time out there shooting with all you TGO guys!

yep another big time had by all. The weather was outstanding, that in itself made it enjoyable to spend the day slinging lead. Got to hang to with some fun people, and had lots of laughs, lots. It doesn't get much better.

Seemed to pretty much be a day dominated by eastern block firearms. I think I saw some Mosin Nagants, a Yugo SKS, a Yugo Mauser, an AK, a Hungarian auto pistol, a Croat XD, are CZ's eastern? Ammo was well represented by Russia, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Yugoslavia. There was a mess of USA steel and lead in attendance too.

it is always an occassion when I get to fire a gun I have never shot before. Todays gun was a Carcano rifle, thanks to Motasyco, it was like being in a warehouse, sorta.

Best quote in bad taste while handling the Carcano was " where is the parade?" ( or something to that effect) I ain't telling on who said that. Anyway it is a nice shooter with a smooth action.

We attempted to beat the snot out of a inch thick steel plate, and we had very little success doing so. I counted somewhere around 200 craters on that thing. And no telling how many 22's bounced off of it. Garufa exploded a piece of rebar twice with direct hits at 125 arshins (yards to you capitalists )

I am sure we will do it again sometimes soon.

I believe a picture of the 1" steel plate would be appropriate if you have one available. I'd like to see the end results.

[Oh Shoot]

A lesson from the old guy....

I assure you, NOT a lesson...I was only trying to pick up a pointer or two from somebody who can shoot!

Thanks for the pix!

Seriously, thanks for shooting with me, had a great time. Looking forward to shooting again with everyone.
