evan9381 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 wasnt bad. range seemed like any other range...it was nice to have skeet fields and a range at one place...i havent been to any other place that has both (although im sure theyre out there). i went through about 325 rds of 9mm, a dozen or so .22 (damn hollow point 22's were getting stuck on the feed ramp of the rented gun, so we went with a revolver, which was even more of a bore/pain in the ass loading/unloading), and 75 12ga rounds...various rounds ive had sitting around the house. some big shot loads...probably why my shoulder is hurting tonight. mainly BB, #2, #4, and #7.5 thought id be up there for a couple hours max, and i was there from ~12:30 to about 5pm.

Bam Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 much thanks to evan for helping out and offering up his gun/ammo for some good times... I went through 200rds of my 9mm ammo, probably 50rds of his .22 ammo, and 75 rds of his 12gauge in the 3 rounds of trap....plus learned a lot. My arm/shoulder is defintely sore and I got a big fucking bruise, like the size of a fist, LOL. But I found out that I wasn't holding the shotgun right as my upper arm muscle is bruised more than my shoulder, oh well, first time, live and learn. Was surprised no one else showed up but it was definitely still a good time. thanks again evan, we'll have to get together again sometime.

LJ Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 You guys are pansies.... When I was shooting Sporting Clays competitively I would shoot about 1,000 rounds per week. On non-scored open shoots I would probably shoot about 300 rounds... All 12 guage, and I was 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bullshit, my ENTIRE upper arm is bruised, from my elbow to my shoulder, its a DEEP purple with yellow around the edges. Picture your entire bicep bruised bad, that's why I suck. It was fun but I definitely need more practice to be more consistent, I'd hit like 1 out of ten, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without even seeing what you were doing, you need to hold the gun much tighter to your shoulder and absolutely bury your cheek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TN94Z28 Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I need to find some .40, but it's possible next week. walmart is the best place and the federals are the best deal on the .40's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens with my 20ga when shooting through a box of shells don't worry. Who wants to shoot a gun that doesn't hurt? I love the pain.
