I haven't been to the range in the last few weeks and miss it terribly, so I was going through some of my old shooting videos and thought I'd share a couple of them with you. I'll apologize in advance for the poor quality - these videos were taken on my digital camera back in 2006 - they've improved a whole lot since then.
This one is a head-to-head competition between my brother, Junior, and I. There were two targets we had to neutralize. I took one target with a single shot to the head, the other with two to the chest. You'll see my draw was slower than Junior's, but I killed both targets with only three rounds - he ran through several more.
This other video is just of one of our stages. I shot it slow, but clean.
No, I was not wearing proper range attire, what with my tank top. Funny story about that tank top... one of our stages that day was to carry a phone from our starting shooting position to the next one. Lots of the guys were fumbling around, trying to find a pocket that wasn't stuffed with magazines to put the phone in so that they wouldn't have to shoot one-handed. Me? I dropped into my cleavage.
Okay, I'm almost done with my little video trip down memory lane. Just one last video. This one was from our Zombie shooting match in 2009. I hadn't shot my Para in a couple of years before this match (I'd sold it and then re-purchased it from the guy I sold it to), so I'm slow, but mostly clean.
Don't those videos make you want to hit the range?
Well, what are you waiting for?
Go load up and get some gunpowder therapy!
Shoot safe and straight!
I would love to go do this sometime, but I haven't shot a pistol in so long, I would have to relearn. However, give me a rifle and you should probably get out of the way.
ReplyDeleteYou know, some pistol practice would be a good thing for the animals up here. I pack sometimes when we know the mountain lion is on the hill. I would hate to shoot trying to scare her and hit her instead!

Get your hips fixed and we'll hit the range.
ReplyDeleteYou are so cool! I heart you and you need to be a cop.
