Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I'm trying to get a partner. I'll be shooting free shot gun sfuff!
  2. I think the best bullet is a free bullet! I shoot 55's, 62's if they let me, 69's you name it. It all work's good when it's free.
  3. I shot a 20” used, very old Colt A2, Irons with a JP globe, JP trigger, M93 stock, Clark carbon fiber free float tube, and a home made comp. I shot Federal Match 69’s out of the box. I shot a MI Super 90, dun up by Pat Kelly out of Kansas with the vented rib and flip up stuff, shooting 71/2 and an occasional spreader and the free law enforcement low recoil slugs. Pistol was a Glock 35 I bought cheap from Bronco, shooting 165 white box full load wrist busters. What kept it all together were the cans Spam and an occasional Jack Daniels after the shooting.

  4. I’m not a Kurt Miller or Kelly Neal but, have shot iron sight for the past two years and have shot with both lushes. What I find important is sight radius. Both Kurt and I use a .50 thousands front sight post regardless of the rear sight. Some iron sight shooters see better than others. At one time I was using a .30 thousands front sight post and it took me longer to focus on the post than a .50 thousands. I use a JP globe and it suites me well in all most any light. Kurt uses a custom open front sight assembly and found him wanting to shoot at certain times (First in the squad vs middle or last) because of the light exposure on his open front sight post. I do not find a fiber optic useful at all but do find that with the globe at CQB ranges it is much easier to use with both eyes open. Remember that what you start with is what you finish with. If you use a fiber optic you might loose sharpness in your front sight post at longer ranges. I believe it all comes down to training with what you feel comfortable with and train smarter and harder that your competitor. I would take my own advice on that last statement but I work too much Bronco and Kurt and KellyN!!!! Let's add trapper in on this!!! And the rest of you fools that laugh and beat the crap out of me!! Oh! don't forget Mike45 you pike!! Kelly B
  5. The biggest mistake people make when using Beta’s are they don’t graphite the crap out of them before the use them. The Beta’s can be cleaned and must be thoroughly doused with graphite. Trapper used a Beta (I believe) on stage four that gave up on him and had to do a mag change. He later smagged it up with graphite and it ran flawlessly. Kellyb
  6. For those who care I will be there!! It’s not like I’m going to beat the usual but kickers. Besides the chaos with the RO’s. I had a great time at DPMS two weeks ago with a great squad. The team event went quick! Keith, you missed a fun match. We even crashed a few weddings. What do they feed their women? KellyB
  7. Kelly, I assume you zero the same way. I like to zero at 300 meters so I can see exactly where I am at that distance. It takes time but you know how it is when your working for the government. You get paid to train!!!! One more thing! I would appreciate you referring to Spam as Hawaiian Steak from now on. I don't want people to look negatively at the can. It’s a good thing Costco sells it by the case. Kellyb
  8. This question is geared towards the iron sight shooters in the bunch like Kurt Miller, Kelly Neal and Guy Hawkins. My question is on shooting a rifle with both eyes open. From zero to about fifty yards I can shoot proficiently with both eyes open unless it is a partial target or ocular shot. How important is it to learn to shoot targets with both eyes open at rages of 200 and 300 yards? Dose it really improve your transitions? If so what are some training tips? I’m tired of Kurtm and Kellyn kicking me around and I'm real close to pissing Steve Hendrick off!
