Return From SHOT Show

After my first SHOT show all I have to say is...wow.

We'll be posting here with all the cool new stuff I saw(some of it may only be new to me...but it's still cool).  Please forgive my delayed reaction, but some of us don't get to do this for a living and have real jobs that take up quite a bit of precious blogging time.

For now I just have to say we had a great time and meet some very cool people.

Also to follow is an official disclousre of anything that was given to us to accomidate stupid new laws...I'm sure you know the ones.

Also, the reloading series will continue shortly.

More Practice at 750 yards

On Sunday we went out to a buddy's house to have a friend shoot my Savage 308.  A group of four of us went and another friend brought his new tricked out 308.  It is a custom gun and he spent more on the scope alone than both of my rifles put together.  Needless to say it was a blast (figurtively and literally) to shoot.

                                      

We ended up putting some 2 liter bottles of discount soda out at 750 yards to shoot at with both .308s.  Even though all four of us were shooting at them Brad and I were the only ones able to get one.  Shooting that far and waiting for the bullet to get there long after you've pulled the trigger is quite a cool experience.  For us newbies it was the first time we had waited that long to see if we'd hit the target. The wait took some getting used to.

We ended up shooting the pop bottles with my stock Savage in the end.  Here is Jared on it, shooting at one of the pop bottles.

Here is Brad with the end result:
